Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The room was spotlessly clean and worth the extra cost to upgrade, but the evening entertainment noise was a drawback. The service was helpful when we needed extra amenities but inconsistent in room cleaning. The location was great with beautiful views, but the dining experience fell short with cold food and limited options.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location was convenient and easy to get around, but the rooms were disappointing with shabby decor and cleanliness issues. The service was a hit and miss, with some staff members excelling while others seemed unhelpful. Dining had its ups and downs, and the facilities were adequate but nothing extraordinary.
The hotel was a mixed experience overall. The rooms were spotless, but the lack of phone reception was a downside. We managed to switch to a nicely refurbished twin room, which was a significant improvement. The service was friendly yet inconsistent, with some unexpected apologies. The location was a mixed bag, with stunning views and beach proximity but some areas needing improvement. The dining options were decent, with a good buffet spread, although it felt excessive. The facilities were satisfactory but definitely need some attention.
The hotel room was spacious, clean, and not too hot, located on the first floor, but the dated decor and lack of basic amenities like an extra shelf for toiletries and hooks for hanging towels made the stay less enjoyable. I had to pay extra for breakfast and even for a milky coffee, with poor service from staff that struggled to communicate in English. Overall, I would not choose to stay here again.
The hotel had a fantastic location with superb views and welcoming staff on arrival. The rooms were a letdown, being small and grotty, but the staff was friendly and helpful. The dining experience was buffet style and plentiful, although a bit crowded and hectic. The hotel's facilities were in need of a revamp but were comfortable and clean overall.
The hotel was a little basic but still very nice. It's a bit of a climb with several flights of stairs, but the friendly service made up for it. The location is good, out of the main bustle but easy to access attractions. The dining experience could be improved, but the facilities were satisfactory.
The hotel was a mixed bag with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, but disappointing dining experience. Its location was brilliant and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel was situated in a central location near the harbor, offering amazing views. Despite its convenient location, the property had its downsides with dated and dirty rooms, poor service, and extra charges for basic amenities like breakfast and coffee.
