Reviews
We booked 6 nights. On the second day urgent family matters forced us to leave earlier, and I informed the reception one day in advance.
When checking out, the owner demanded full payment for all 6 nights - despite us staying only 3 and notifying in time. No dialogue, no compromise, not even a partial adjustment.
This isn’t hospitality. It felt like pure profit over basic fairness.
Rooms are fine, breakfast average, a slight smell from the toilet. I sincerely hope the extra €500 we were charged goes to fixing those toilets rather than rewarding such a policy.
The future belongs to businesses that fight for customers, not against them.
I booked a room for 3 adults on Vivamod/expedia and was given a room with one quuen size and a child-sized bed. When I raised the issue, the staff were completely unhelpful, uninterested, and borderline careless. For a hotel that claims to accommodate adults, this is unacceptable and frankly ridiculous.
Yes, the hotel itself is not terrible, the breakfast is decent and the outdoor space is actually wonderful, it seems quite clean, the pool is spacious (a bit ‘dirty’ with pines), there’s parking, and it’s a 10-minute walk to the center. But none of that makes up for the terrible service and the fact that they clearly don’t care about their guests’ comfort or what was actually booked.
If you’re more than two people, don’t bother… unless you enjoy sleeping like a contortionist and arguing with the front desk.
Very close to the beach with lots of activities.
No toiletries, only general soap and towels.
Tv in the room, AC, choice of hanging wet clothes out to dry in common area.
