Reviews
I'd especially like to highlight the cleanliness throughout the hotel—it's clear they're meticulously maintaining it. There's an excellent coffee shop on the ground floor where you can enjoy delicious coffee, desserts, and a relaxing atmosphere. And in the evenings, the bar features live music—it creates a truly warm, intimate atmosphere and makes my stay special.
I've had nothing but positive impressions of this hotel; I'd be happy to return!
Property and rooms are nice, not new but well maintained.
Room is spacious enough although only 1 sink and bathroom amenities and minibar are fairly limited.
Food was good, enough choice between the buffet and a'la carte restaurants, but reservation system needs improvement. Roka restaurant was our favorite.
Pool area is nice but good luck finding spot due to the usual towel crowd, other areas are easier to find a spot in and nice. Drink service to the loungers is fairly slow.
Overall an enjoyable stay, kind staff and clean well kept property.
8/10.
