Wonderful Beachfront Stay
beautiful view friendly staff delicious selection large space
I had a room with a side sea view. I appreciated it. The staff members are friendly and helpful. Breakfast provided a delicious selection. The choice of food was amazing, and the breakfast room is large, with enough space for all guests.
The bedside lamps could not be switched on or off independently. This caused an inconvenience when only one of us wanted to read.

The hotel provides a lovely pool that is a great size. Plenty of sun loungers ensure guests can relax, and a full bar keeps everyone entertained with refreshments throughout the day. Live music creates a lively atmosphere on most nights.

an okay stay
broken air conditioning hallway noise
the location was acceptable, especially its proximity to the beach.
The room wasn't great. The air conditioning barely worked and made the room uncomfortably warm. additionally, the noise from the hallway and other rooms was disruptive, especially late at night. these issues made it difficult to relax and get a good night's sleep.

fantastic beachfront experience!
smooth check-in upgraded room sea view sparkling wine
the check-in process was smooth and efficient. i received an upgrade to a panoramic room, it was a good surprise. the room had a sofa and a balcony that offered a wonderful sea view. i also found a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine and some cakes upon arrival.
the wardrobe space felt a little limited, especially with no dedicated area for longer garments.
