Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of good and not-so-good experiences. The rooms were spacious, some with larger balconies, but there was an issue with a drainage smell, which was quite unpleasant. The view from the balconies was lovely, but we had to pay extra, totaling £110 for 7 nights.
The hotel offers amazing rooms but with a downside of inefficient cleaners. The service is a mix of rudeness with a spark of friendliness here and there, particularly the old man managing sunbeds. The location is convenient, although the dining experience may not meet everyone's taste preferences.
The hotel was spotlessly cleaned on a daily basis with fresh towels, but unfortunately, I won't be returning to this hotel as it doesn't meet the standards of a 5-star hotel. Let's say the rooms are okay overall, though they were dirty and had no hot water for the entire week despite multiple complaints to reception.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and clean with beautiful views of the pool and sea in the distance; however, the fact that I had paid for all-inclusive but had to eat out every day was disappointing. The receptionist and some of the hotel staff were very nice, making my stay a bit more pleasant. The location was great, with a lovely pool area, but the food was a letdown for me with limited hot options.
The hotel has a lovely location with beautiful gardens, and getting a sunbed by the large pool is easy. The rooms are basic, but they are cleaned daily with fresh towels. However, some aspects, like the cracked and dirty bath, could be improved. The dining experience is subpar with low-quality food and dirty tableware, suggesting eating out might be necessary.
The hotel had nice and clean rooms with a good decorative order. The service was fantastic, but struggled a bit during a large reunion due to limited staff. The location felt a bit frustrating for foreign visitors but was good overall. The dining experience was average, with limited options. The facilities were well-equipped and satisfactory.
The hotel was good for 2 adults and 2 children, with a big room and a lovely balcony, though we mostly enjoyed our time at the pool. The overall experience was okay, with some room for improvement in certain areas.
The hotel had a decent room for the price with an adequate size, clean, a sofa bed, 1 queen bed, and a single bed, though slightly outdated. The cleaning staff's habit of entering the room early without knocking was bothersome, but the overall decorative order was good. The service was highlighted by the friendly entertainers and exceptional staff like Gul at reception and Dina from guest relations who made our stay extra special. The location offered a great social vibe and activities but fell short in the dining experience.
The hotel rooms had a strange smell coming from the bathroom and required daily calls to reception for toilet paper. However, the hotel's location was great, the pool area was well-maintained, and the dining options were satisfactory.
