I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the atmosphere was lively and the facilities were enjoyable, especially the pools. On the other hand, the dining options left much to be desired, and the management could have done a better job addressing guests' issues, especially regarding noise levels. Overall, it has potential but needs some adjustments.

I had mixed feelings about my stay at this hotel. The location was perfect, offering fantastic sea views and easy access to local attractions. However, my room was a letdown, feeling cold and tired in terms of decor, which dampened my overall experience. The service was decent, but not without its shortcomings, especially during meal times where communication seemed lacking. Overall, it has its high points, but there are definitely areas that need improvement.

Our recent stay at the hotel was mixed. On one hand, the sea views were simply stunning and the beach was just a short walk away, making it an ideal location. The dining service started great but faltered when staffing changed, leading to some confusion. While the room had its charm, it needed maintenance; the shower pressure was particularly disappointing. Overall, it was a decent experience, but there are areas that need improvement.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the modern decor and the great location near the beach. The views from my room, especially from the balcony, were absolutely stunning. However, service could use some improvement, as there were moments where staff seemed overwhelmed. Additionally, while the pool area was beautiful, it became quite crowded with day guests, making it difficult to find a quiet spot to relax.

Rooms

The room was beautifully decorated and spacious, with a lovely view of the gardens and the sea from the balcony. However, it did overlook the car park, which was a bit of a downside.

The hotel had strong points such as stunning views and a convenient location near the beach which made exploration easy, but the experience was marred by issues with the plumbing and lack of attentiveness from staff. The dining options were underwhelming and not as hot as expected, adding to the overall disappointment during our celebration.
