Reviews and Ratings
I had a decent stay at the hotel, which was clean and modern, and the staff was extremely helpful. The location was excellent, right on the beach, but I was disappointed that the restaurant was closed during my stay. Overall, it was quite good value for money considering the amenities offered, but there were a few letdowns regarding dining options.
The hotel has a stunning view of the sea from the rooms, which feature private terraces that are great for relaxation. I found the rooms to be cozy, though a bit small. The staff was friendly, but there were some hiccups in service during my stay. The location is fantastic for beautiful sunsets and beach access, but the dining options could use improvement.
The hotel has a superb sea view and is located right on the beachfront, making it an ideal spot for beach lovers. The family suite was a nice touch with a separate box room for the kids. However, the overall size of the rooms was a bit compact for our family, and the dining options didn't quite match the price, being a bit on the expensive side without remarkable offerings.
The hotel has a beautiful view of the sea and comes with a lovely private terrace that makes your stay special. Rooms were generally excellent, comfortable, and clean, but ventilation was an issue at times, making it hard to sleep. The location was conveniently right next to the beach, although the beach itself felt small and crowded. The dining experience had its ups and downs, with limited choices leading to some boredom after a few days, but overall, it was good value for money.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and overlooked the sea, though they were smaller than I expected for a 4-star property. The service had its ups and downs; while some staff were helpful, my dining experience at the neighboring restaurant left much to be desired. The location is unbeatable, being so close to the beach, but a few amenities could definitely improve.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall; it’s in a fantastic location just a stone's throw from the beach, which I loved. The rooms were quite small and could use better amenities like a kettle and a larger TV, but they were clean and comfortable. The service was a bit hit or miss, particularly with the restaurant being closed on my first night. Dining options were limited and somewhat repetitive for longer stays, but the atmosphere was decent. Overall, I think it’s a fair value for what you get.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with excellent and comfortable rooms that had stunning views of the sea, truly enhancing my experience. The location was right on the beach, which made it super convenient for enjoying the sun and surf. However, I found the dining options a bit lacking, especially considering dietary preferences, and there were some issues with the service as they couldn't meet a simple dietary requirement. Overall, it was a good value for the money, but there’s definitely room for improvement.
The hotel offered a comfortable stay with clean rooms and plenty of space for my family, including a separate area for the kids. The location was great as it was right by the beach, but dining options were limited, and it was sometimes hard to find evening meals due to the restaurant being fully booked. Overall, it was good value for money, but service could be improved.
The hotel is located right on the beach, which is a huge plus for anyone wanting to enjoy the sea. The rooms are spacious and clean, with very comfortable beds, but the absence of air conditioning was a bit of a letdown. The service was friendly and professional, even though some details like room service were lacking. Overall, it’s a good choice for families, but dining options could definitely improve for the price.
The hotel has an excellent location right on the beach, which is so relaxing! The rooms were stylish and clean, providing a comfortable stay. The staff was friendly and accommodating, but the dining options were somewhat repetitive after a week. Overall, the place offers great value for money, but it would be nice to have more variety in the meals.
