Location
Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of room views, with some beautiful sea or garden views, but be cautious as some rooms have a rock wall and damp spots outside. The location is unique, with individual platforms and sun loungers overlooking the sea, though some preferred areas were unavailable. The dining experience had good food options but could be more consistent in topping up items. Overall, a place with unique views and average dining.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were upgraded, spacious, modern, and clean, but some noise from adjacent guests disrupted our sleep at night. The location was fantastic, close to a lovely beach with free sunbeds, but there were areas where the hotel could improve. The dining experience was average, and the showers needed maintenance, making it a bit inconvenient. Overall, it was a decent stay with both positives and negatives.
The hotel offers an excellent experience with sea or garden view rooms, but some maintenance issues arose halfway through our stay, which was unpleasant. The service was fantastic, and the location was perfect with beautiful surroundings near a lovely beach. The dining options were plentiful with a brilliant view from the dining room.
The hotel offers comfortable and cool rooms with invigorating sea views, although there are some spots outside with dampness. The service is good overall but could be more efficient. The location is fantastic with plenty of dining options, but the beach opposite the hotel is not sandy. The dining experience is decent, with some room for improvement in serving times. The facilities are satisfactory, with a few minor issues to note.
