Reviews
Location was very good. 50m from the sea.
Service was good and rooms were comfortable.
Rooms were cleaned daily during our 4 night stay and we had a great sea view.
Very affordable rooms.
Can be difficult to get to without a car, but does have a bus service to the train station just outside.
Really good stay and much better than I thought it would be considering it was €70 a night!
Would recommend.
Quiet, comfortable and very clean room with a great view!
The hotel itself is just okay-ish — nothing special, but acceptable. However, the service was shockingly poor. From the moment I arrived, I was ignored at reception for more than five minutes while staff chatted in the back and another simply stared at the computer screen — no greeting, no professionalism, just cold indifference. Not a single other guest was being attended at that time, so there was absolutely no excuse for this neglect.
The worst incident occurred when a bartender publicly humiliated me and my family with rude and disrespectful behavior, leaving us deeply upset.
There were many other issues during my stay, but due to the team’s dismissive and defensive attitude, I chose not to mention them at the time — I didn’t want to completely ruin the entire visit or face further hostility.
After I raised a formal complaint, the hotel responded with a generic denial — no apology, no accountability, and no genuine effort to address what happened.
I paid a premium expecting a full 4-star experience, including respectful and professional service. Instead, I was met with humiliation, disrespect, and unprofessionalism.
The management clearly fails at hospitality, and I strongly advise anyone to look elsewhere if they expect to be treated with basic respect and dignity.
Everything works extremely well organized. If you opt for the option – half board accommodation, I guarantee you that you will not need anything extra. The rooms are large, the bathroom – the same, the pool is excellent and we had the room with a balcony and facing the Mediterranean Sea, so it was absolutely superb.
