An ok stay 😊
Me and my friend both 28 stayed here.
Location is in ‘new town’, 10mins from old town in uber, Ubers super cheap around 4 euro. Great intermarche a few minutes walk away.
No entertainment whatsoever, hotel overall lacked in atmosphere. Bar lounge downstairs empty every night, just football on a tv screen.
Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Big issue with our room (106) is it was so dark - impossible to get ready in the room with that lighting, so we had to get ready on the balcony BUT this floor and room should come with a warning that you are right on the street and if the curtains are open or you are on the balcony everyone and anyone can see you from both street level and the apartments facing. Shower was inside the bath, very old school and probably not practical for a lot of people having to step over into it. No storage area either so lived out of suitcases on the floor.
Staff were ok? Reception staff almost seemed to avoid eye contact when you were coming and going which I’ve ever experienced before but pleasant when we initiated communication. Also late checkout was unable to be accommodated which was unfortunate. The pool bar staff were very welcoming though - especially one blonde lady who wore a black uniform (sorry I didn’t get her name!).
Breakfast was nice, small set up but everything you might have wanted fruits, cereals, yoghurts, cheese, meats, hot food essentials and pastries. Nice addition to have Prosecco.
One real negative for us was we were on a later flight and late check out couldn’t be accommodated - the only place there is to change / shower is the dark wooden cabin at the back of the pool, but you’d have to lug your suitcase down over the grass and past everyone at the pool. Any 4* hotels I’ve stayed in before have an area especially for guests to change and shower later in the day.
The biggest highlight of this hotel and which should be promoted more is its rooftop bar, the sunset from up there is beautiful and the man making the cocktails is very friendly!
We made the most of our time and had a great trip but nothing about this hotel would make me miss it or entice me back.

Wonderful experience
"Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. From the warm welcome at the front desk to a quick and smooth check-out, the service was consistently friendly and professional. Our room was spotless, exceptionally comfortable bed that made it easy to relax. Housekeeping kept everything pristine throughout our visit. The breakfast buffet had an amazing selection, and the location was ideal for walking to nearby local attractions and restaurants. We cannot wait to return for another visit!"

Relaxing Stay
Lovely stay from start to finish, all staff polite and welcoming. The whole hotel and grounds are kept clean and tidy, plenty of sun beds. Ideally situated away from the centre but close enough to walk in, and only 10 mins from the nearest beach. Would stay again if back in the area and recommend to others. I would say it maybe a little too quiet for some, but it was perfect for us.

Nearly 100% perfect stay
My husband & I recently had a weeks stay at this hotel along with 8 friends. The hotel is in a great location, close to shops, bars & restaurants. The hotel was spotlessly clean, including our room, the pool area & all the public areas. The staff were amazing, very friendly, helpful & professional, some of the best hotel staff we have ever met. Pool area was lovely, plenty of sunbeds at any time so no queuing. We were bed & breakfast and there were plenty of options, whatever you wanted & the buffet was constantly being refreshed. It was also great to have a safe in the room plus 2 pool towels which you didnt have to pay extra for (unusual these days & very much appreciated). Unfortunately, there were some down sides and that was the complete lack of storage in our room, no cupboards, not enough shelving. There wasn't a wardrobe in the room, just a hanging rail which was too high for me (Im only little), when I did manage to hang my dresses, the hanging space led down to a shelf but the hanging space was too short so the bottom of my dresses curled over & got creased. The only other shelf in the room was a very small one under the safe & that was it, there was one small drawer but again nowhere big enough for 2 people, we ended up having leave stuff on top of cases, under the TV etc. There wasn't any bedside storage, just a round table where you could put a couple of items on top, bedside units would have been ideal & would have provided some storage. If you could rectify the storage issues it would be 100% perfect stay.

First Class
Just a short few days as a couple. Loved the hotel. It is modern and always so clean. Loved how quiet and relaxed it was. Staff were lovely. Great location with plenty going on around, close to beaches, bars and restaurants.
