Extremely Disappointed. Not worth the extra money.

They gave me a room with the dirtiest water I've ever seen. It was completely brown and the towels turned brown when drying my hands. When I complained, they told me they were aware of the issue so why was that room not removed from the system? The next room they gave me had no hot water in the morning. The beach is full of stray dogs and the staff kept giving them water so surely they'll not leave. They wanted to charge me €60 euros (!!!) for the airport transfer when the usual price is no more than €20 for a 25 mins drive. Also they charge for room service even though their restaurant takes ages to prepare the food. Housekeeping lacks attention to details too: no toilet paper and water and towels replaced irregularly. Given the price they charge for their rooms is extremely high as it's marketed as a high level resort, these things shouldn't happen. It's extremely disappointing. On the plus side, the room is clean. I will certainly not be back and pay the extra money for this disappointing service.

The Hotel itself was beautiful. Our room was beautiful. The pools were beautiful. Unfortunately the staff I really didnt like the way my wife and I were treated. Repeatedly, I was asked what room I was in. At breakfast, walking in and out; it was exasperating and very distasteful. When we wanted to have a 2 family members over into our room for a little bit, they told us this was not allowed. Even before check out, we needed to keep our infant baby for ONE HOUR, and they told us we actually couldn't have our infant daughter in the room with us. Unbelievably ridiculous! Maybe, I may come back one day, but no time soon. Very disappointed. By the way- we own property literally across the street from the hotel. We only booked here for a while to enjoy ourselves and experience the hotel. We didnt need to book. Just for a nice time. Again, very disappointed.

L’hôtel est bien. Le restaurant est bon. Mais le personnel à la réception est horrible. Ils refusent de nous aider et de nous accommoder. Aussi, quelques insectes dans la chambres. Apportez vos chasses moustiques et bouchons pour dormir. La musique du restaurant joue très fort…

Flott opphol

Flott opphold, veldig kaldt basseng. Pass på å be om rom på solsiden og ikke i skyggen om du har swim up rom. God service på frokost gjengen. Matmessig savner jeg et mer klart restaurant konsept.
