Reviews and Ratings
The hotel promised us a sea view room close to the lift for easy access, which was true, however, it was also noisy and stuffy. The staff, despite being friendly, had some cleanliness issues. The location had beautiful views but was not well-distributed. The breakfast was excellent, but there were some unusual dining choices. Overall, the stay was a mix of positive and negative experiences.
The hotel had a view of the sea as promised and was close to the lift, making access easy for my disabled husband. While it was clean and nice, it did not completely meet my expectations for the price. The room was a bit small, and the TV was oddly positioned in the corner.
I had a great stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms and efficient and very polite service. The stunning location offered amazing views, although the dining experience was not perfect. The facilities were convenient and well-maintained.
