Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a great size room with a comfortable king-size bed, although the sea view was more partial than expected. The service is excellent, with constant cleaning at the breakfast buffet and friendly staff. The location is excellent as it is just across the road from the beach and close to local pubs/bars. Dining was a mix of great selections and some disappointments with a long wait for coffee/tea. Overall, a decent stay with some room for improvement.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms, with spacious and tidy accommodations. However, some rooms have non-functioning air conditioning, leading to mixed discussions among guests. The location is excellent, just a short walk from both a major shopping center and bustling bars and restaurants, with beachfront access right on the doorstep. The service is generally friendly and helpful, though some interactions lacked warmth. The dining experience, while self-service and somewhat limited, included tasty options like the Pork Belly.
Upon arrival, the room wasn't very clean, but the issue was promptly resolved by the reception staff who provided me with a new room. The rooms are spacious with fantastic sea views and comfortable mattresses. The lack of lighting in the room and on the terrace initially was a downside.
I stayed on the 10th floor and appreciated the functional rooms that provided basic facilities. The outdoor drink service could be slow, and it's a bit of a race to get a sun lounger in the pool area, but having the option to shower and change following a late check-out was convenient.
Staying at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were amazing, like a junior suite overlooking the beach, and spotless with the most comfortable bed ever. However, the policy allowing only single occupation per room was restrictive. On the bright side, late checkout was available for those with evening flights.
My stay at the hotel was overall pleasant. The rooms were spotless, thanks to the hardworking cleaners, and I particularly loved the walk-in shower. The location was quite convenient, being close to the beach and shops. However, there were some issues with the key card being deactivated during my stay, which was a bit inconvenient.
