Pleasant
The location is nice & quiet but far from the airport & the port. Nice & clean beach on the front. The staff are amazing, friendly & helpful but the restaurant needs to improve on their service eg they did not have teabags when we asked during breakfast. We had dinner twice & we loved it. We had breakfast every morning but it wasn’t filling. The rooms are clean & spacious but do not have kettles & tea/coffee. Beautiful place with amazing views. Overall pleasant stay, i highly recommend it& we are definitely going back in summer.

We got charged for everything constantly, the waitresses and managers were rude, insisted and didn‘t comply to wishes, the electricity was off for 3 days while we were there: toilet and shower weren‘t working, no lights and no air con, no wifi either. The food was okay and cheap but the overall quality and atmosphere was disappointing.

Dreadful
Hotel has a very low price point to start with but adds taxes at checkout so actually not that great value for money . Came with low expectations due to original price , but sadly was still dissapointed . Room literally just had a bed in it , outside balcony had no seating . ( deluxe room ) . Leaking sink ( was fixed by putting a bin under neath ) smell of sewage . No lampshades , no where to hang clothes to dry . Cleaning was good. Included breakfast very basic ( not surprising for the original without tax price ) . Eggs and some very small portions of very random (2)things On the plate ( e.g slice of courgette with tomato purée ) One swimming pool filthy with nowhere to sit . Other swimming pool clean with dirty mattresses on some sunloungers ,some without covering . Most loungers without a mattress . Only had one meal at the soulless restaurant . Very small portions for the price , but plated like a trendy bistro - not really suitable for the place . Restaurants near by offer a much better proposition . Charged twice for incidentals , took along time to get a refund , but they were very quick to take payment when it came to paying the bill originally. Staff mostly pleasant . No WiFi in the new wing , restaurant / bar or the pool by the beach . Reminded me of a very cheap package holiday hotel , could not wait to check out !

Construction site which was not told to us by the hotel prior to booking. They start work at 6am and end at 10pm so good luck getting sleep. Animal noises like dog and cats. In the night again making it more difficult to sleep No power at night. Looked like the hotel hasnt got enough power to power everything as the power will trip all the time. Spoke to the staff and eventually after complaining about no ac at night they showed me how to reenable it. But I shouldnt have to wake up at 1am and 2am to fix the power for everyone. Sometimes no water or no hot water No privacy with there only being a mesh net nothing to stop people looking through it No communication of stay in a different hotel upon arrival No chlorine in pool Rude and unhelpful staff. Heard staff making rude comments about guests 5-10minute walk to another hotel for food. To get to the beach you have to walk through a buildings site which is dangerous with live electric cables across the floor not far from water tanks.
