Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were excellent, very clean with a generous balcony and complimentary toiletries, but the service was extremely rude. The location was good, quiet, and close to attractions, but looked uninviting. Dining options were fantastic with a great selection, and the facilities were adequate.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The family room was incredibly spacious with a delightful side sea view, making it a perfect choice for a relaxing vacation. While the lack of DVD or Sky channels on the TV was a drawback for foreign visitors like me, the overall cleanliness and comfort made up for it. The staff was friendly and accommodating, delivering excellent service. The location was ideal, offering a good balance between tranquility and easy access to nearby attractions. The dining experience was top-notch, with a fantastic breakfast selection that catered to all tastes. The facilities were modern and well-equipped, enhancing my overall stay.
The hotel rooms were spacious enough, clean, and comfortable, with a separate bedroom and lounge, but lacked amenities like glasses, coffee making facilities, and DVD/Sky for foreign travelers. The cleaning service was unpredictable despite the friendly staff. The location, although quiet, was remote and surrounded by fields, detracting from the beach's selling point. The dining options varied from excellent to poor. The service was friendly but needed more attention to detail in billing. The facilities were average.
