Reviews and Ratings
The hotel had beautiful rooms with a perfect view over the ocean, but the lack of furniture made the stay less comfortable. The service was friendly and efficient, although there was a slight issue with the door device. The location was great with a stunning view of the beach, but the bed placement was a bit inconvenient. The dining experience had a wide selection of food available but was below standard in some aspects. Overall, a mixed experience with lovely views and friendly service.
The hotel offers spacious and pleasant sea-facing rooms with a nice view. The service was excellent and professional. The location is a bit far from the central beach front but still perfect. The dining experience was really nice with plenty of variety. The facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel offers spotless, quiet, and extremely comfortable rooms, supervised at the highest level. However, the room setup may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who prefer more privacy with a separation between the bedroom and bathroom. The service is welcoming and attentive, though some caution is advised regarding information handling. Dining options, while excellent, could be limited for some. All in all, the stay was clean, comfortable, and overall great value for money.
My stay at the hotel was really nice and cosy. The room was super comfortable, but there was a 3-hour wait for a clean towel due to extremely noisy facilities inside and outside the room.
