This is definitely not what one would consider a 5 star hotel. I was super disappointed. To first mention some positives….the cleaning people and waiters/waitresses are very polite and helpful. Rooms were comfy and clean however the balcony allows for people to smoke. So we got stuck next to someone who smoked like crazy all day long and made using our balcony very limited. Then we have the pool area which is in disarray. All the pools have rust, missing tiles, and openings without covers. My son actually cut his foot on a metal cover in the indoor pool. The outside beach area looks nicer, but don’t be deceived. There is an area that has a slope access to walk into the water… it’s covered in algae so it’s incredibly slippery to walk on. Therefore it’s not suitable for elderly or children to walk on. There are few waiters making any beach side service very difficult to get. I saw one “life guard” by the pool for 5 min one day. There is no one to maintain any safety or order. Money doesn’t buy class and people allow their children to run wild everywhere. Kids were even leaping off the main pool with the waterfall into the one below. No one seemed to care at all about how dangerous that was since the pool below was too shallow. It was just Insane. Kids were even running around the hallways all night long. And clearly the rooms were not soundproof since we heard all the noise in the hallway. And lastly, the reception desk is the worst I ever experienced. Very poor communication with guests and amongst themselves. We had to reconfirm our airport transfer multiple times. Then we were promised packed lunches since we were leaving for the airport early the next morning. That morning, no one knew anything. |I honestly was just so disappointed that I would never come back or recommend it to anyone. It’s way too overpriced if all you are paying...

Read moreThe hotel is quite large, can have up to 400 guests, but it never feels crowded — which I really appreciated. Our room (with a quiet garden view) was spacious, with a good walk-in shower, a Nespresso machine, and a small fridge. Housekeeping was excellent — fast and thorough.||The beach area is the true highlight. The adults-only section is small, private, and located in a calm bay — perfect for early morning swims as the sun rises and you are the only in the sea, or for enjoying a quiet coffee with a newspaper. It’s peaceful and beautiful. There are also two pools, but with such an amazing bay right there, I never even used them.||Breakfast was another standout. A fantastic variety — fresh raw fish, local cheeses and meats, smoothies, fruits from all over the world, and eggs made to order. The garden-side seating is lovely, especially since the main terrace can get quite hot in the sun. It gets busy after 9 AM, so going earlier is best.||The main downside: prices for food and drinks. A glass of wine starts at €13, burgers are around €30, and even local beer is close to €8. Most nearby restaurants are part of the hotel group and just as expensive. That said, there’s a beach bar just 100 meters away where drinks are half the price, and a Lidl about a 10-minute walk for affordable wine and snacks.||||Overall, a beautiful, relaxing stay — especially if you're happy to enjoy the sea, the peace, and bring a few of...
