Reviews
Turns out you need swimming caps for the pool, but there's no mention of it anywhere, and they just told us to buy them.
The breakfasts are good, and housekeeping is consistent.
The staff were absolutely amazing and were very friendly
The restaurant had great views and wonderful staff the food was beautiful
The driver and guide was well worth investing in and was very friendly, spoke excellent English
Thanks for making a memorable stay
The gym is extremely limited. It has a single multi-functional machine with only one working pulley and minimal weight. If you plan to train properly, this isn’t the place. The space is tiny.
The pool is small and heavily chlorinated. You’re required to wear a swim cap, which costs 5 euros. It would’ve been good to know that in advance, though it’s not a big deal. The real issue is the sauna, which never went above 48 °C—so it didn’t work properly.
The only thing I genuinely liked was the breakfast and the sea view from the restaurant. It’s a nice space with lots of windows.
After many trips, I can confidently say this is a 3-star hotel at best. There’s no way it’s a real 4-star—just a disguised one.
I would like to help all tourists who just want to stay in this hotel. To not book accommodation in this hotel under any circumstances because the accommodation is not even comparable to what is shown in the pictures. Unfortunately, I was very disappointed in this accommodation, so I would not even give it a star. Why was I disappointed, because we booked accommodation for 4 nights with breakfast and on the first day we paid for the 4 nights with breakfast and when we checked out they wanted to ask for another 200 euros. Unfortunately, the police had to be called because they didn't want to give us the travel documents. During the 4 nights, they never changed the bed sheets, they were clean, they were dirty, they smelled bad, the whole hotel was disgusting, they don't care about the food, they watch how much you eat, I found hair in the cucumbers every day, the food was so poor, there was no fruit as shown in the pictures, the food was not as good as in the pictures. The toilet seat was clean, yellow, disgusting, smelly, the bed linen was clean, there were hairs on it. The police were very helpful because they saw that we were right. Imagine, they didn't even give me any papers about how I booked 4 nights with them and how much I paid. Only the hotel cameras could have proven how many nights I booked and that I paid in cash
I would recommend you to choose this hotel (5th floor:))
