Reviews
The location is okay, 10 minutes from the beach, but there's a fee of €25 per day for two loungers. The city center is about 15 minutes away by taxi.
The cleanliness of the room also left a lot to be desired. It wasn't cleaned daily, only the beds were made.
On our second night, we returned to the hotel after sightseeing. Before bed, someone kept knocking on our door, but we looked through the peephole and saw no one. Too tired, we went to sleep and ignored it. On our third night, the same thing happened again. We inquired and requested a room change, which the hotel immediately arranged. We thought everything was settled, but after switching rooms, we discovered that the door connecting our room to the adjoining room was unlocked. We could use this door to get to the neighboring room without any problem, and even the neighboring room could easily reach ours. We contacted the front desk again, and they sent someone with a key to lock the second door. But they apparently said they had the wrong key and it was unsuccessful. The staff promised to come back and fix it, but we were told they couldn't do it that night due to an incident. Since no one was staying in the neighboring room, they told us to rest assured they would arrange for someone to lock the room the next morning.
How could we rest easy under all these circumstances? So we couldn't rest well the entire night. This made us doubt that we hadn't been careless and left the door unlocked on our first night, and we wondered who had the ability to know when we would return to our room.
This experience was truly unsettling and terrifying!
Breakfast buffet, Dinner buffet, Spa facilities, rooms, everything excellent!
Excellent facilities!
