Reviews
The food was tasty and had enough variety to suit my taste.
The staff were very friendly and helpful. We had to ask them for assistance several times — from helping with our room to even providing us with medicine — and they always did their best. However, sometimes they seemed a bit uninformed. For example, we found out only later that we could book the tennis court through them.
The entertainers and poolside games were amazing. We really enjoyed their company and even became friends with some of them, though it seemed like they might not be treated as well as they deserve.
The rooms were decently clean, so I cannot complain about the housekeeping. What could be improved, however, is the furniture and overall condition of the rooms. They are quite old and in need of renovation. During our stay, our door needed fixing, one chair was broken, and the armchair bed was not very comfortable. Still, the reception staff was always willing to help, which made these issues easier to overlook.
In my opinion, when going to the sea, you don’t need extreme luxury — and this hotel offers exactly what you need for a pleasant stay. I would happily return, especially if the rooms get a bit of an upgrade.
If you are young just avoid this hotel, it’s really boring and 90% of people here are 50+…
Food is disappointing and disgusting, the quality is bad and it’s the same food every day (we had at breakfast the fish leftover from yesterday’s dinner)😃.
The parking place is also a problem, you have to park your car right next to the road, basically you pay 10€ per day for your car sitting in a “public”, unsafe place!
The only good thing about this hotel is the location (it’s right next to the beach, first line). Also the staff is friendly (some of them)!
