I had a rather disappointing experience at the hotel. While it has the potential to be a nice place with spacious rooms and a good pool area, the overall condition of the facilities is quite run down. The staff was absent during key moments, which added to my frustration. If you're looking for a more modern and well-kept accommodation, it might be worth considering other options even if it means spending a bit more.

Rooms

The rooms were very spacious but unfortunately quite outdated, with peeling paint and stained furniture.

I had a decent stay at this hotel with some notable pros and cons. The rooms were spacious and clean while also being conveniently located near the beach and restaurants. However, the property overall felt dated and in need of some upgrades, especially the carpets and facilities. I appreciated the value for money, but the service could definitely be improved to enhance the overall experience.

Rooms

7.0

The rooms were spacious, clean, and comfortable, but they had a tired appearance with old carpets. Being on the ground level, I enjoyed seating outside to take in the views, which was a nice touch.

Service

6.0

The staff was friendly and accommodating at times, but I felt a lack of initiative in providing better customer service, especially during my check-in and check-out process.

Location

9.0

The location is a major highlight, sitting straight across from the beach and having easy access to various restaurants. It’s handy for families too, being close to local attractions.

Dining

I enjoyed the dining options that were reasonably priced and satisfying, particularly during lunch, though breakfast could be better with local café alternatives.

Facilities

6.0

The facilities were adequate, with a lovely pool, but many aspects seemed dated, particularly the lift and reception area that need improvement.

5.0/10

I had a rough time at this hotel. The room was musty and certainly not what I expected from a resort. The staff seemed uninterested in providing help, and the lack of Wi-Fi was frustrating. While the pool area was nice, I don't think it justifies the overall experience or the price. Not a place I would recommend unless major changes are made.

Rooms

5.0

The room was old, musty, and dirty, definitely in need of a renovation. I couldn't believe how outdated everything felt.

Service

The service was lackluster, with staff indifferent to guests' needs. It felt like they were just going through the motions.

Location

Location-wise, it was fine, but nothing special. It felt targeted more to older travelers than for a holiday vibe.

The only highlight was the pool, which was clean and well-maintained, but it wasn't enough to redeem the experience.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is convenient, just a short walk to the beach and local cafes, but the room I stayed in was quite noisy, which affected my comfort. While the restaurant offered some decent meals at a good price, the overall facilities and service left a bit to be desired. If they invested a little in maintenance and upgrades, it could really make a difference.

Rooms

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On one hand, the garden atmosphere was lovely, and I really appreciated the prompt service from the staff. On the other hand, the rooms were outdated and not comfortable, which detracted from my overall stay. If you're looking for a budget option, it might be worth a shot, but don't expect luxury.

The dining experience was good, especially with the 2 for 1 deal. However, breakfast options were limited since the hotel doesn't offer it.
