Guest Ratings & Reviews

Real Guest Experiences & Ratings
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Guests consistently praise the superb breakfast, featuring fresh pressed orange juice and eggs cooked to order, often enjoyed by the pool with sea views. The hotel's location, near the beach and old town, is also a highlight. Many appreciate the modern, clean rooms, including spacious junior suites with king size beds, sitting areas, and balconies; some wish for guaranteed full sea views, though. Select club access provides an extra perk with free drinks.

The breakfast buffet included a vast choice of items. It featured fresh pressed orange juice and eggs cooked to order. The hotel also offered molten brown toiletries in the room. I found full accessible channels on tv.
My standard room lacked a balcony. I felt that the staff pushed upgrades because they knew this. There was not much entertainment at all. I found it impersonal to use a QR ordering system for drinks by the pool.

Excellent Hotel Experience

breakfast selectionattentive serviceconvenient locationbathtub shower
The breakfast buffet provided a vast selection of foods. Champagne was offered during breakfast. This was a nice touch. The service was consistently attentive throughout the stay. I appreciated the shopping and dining options available right outside the hotel entrance.
The shower was located inside the bathtub, which posed a slight challenge when getting in and out. I think that a walk-in shower would be an improvement. This would make the bathroom more accessible and safer.

The room decor featured a tasteful design. A separate bathroom and shower area were beneficial. A rainfall shower added to the convenience.

The breakfast buffet offered an really good array of choices. Fresh produce, including fruits, salads, and cheeses, was available daily. Staff readily prepared omelets and eggs to order.
