The bay is absolutely stunning, and the location itself feels exclusive and refined. The cuisine was truly excellent, with every dish showing great attention to detail and quality. At the entrance, a sign proudly welcomes you, promising “the Legendary service of The Ritz-Carlton.”
Well… unfortunately, the welcome didn’t quite live up to that promise. Bella, the hostess at reception—barely looked at us, giving the impression that assisting guests was more of a burden than a pleasure.

Bread was extra, too: 2.- EUR for one piece, which wasn't the freshest.
On the funny side: They want to make the impression of an upscale beach bar but then they proudly serve Parmesan cheese with an Italian style seafood pasta. The waiter looked like he wanted a badge for that cheese not even realizing the...
