10/10 Exceptional

Reception for checking in and out was very good. Service at the restaurant was excellent, especially for breakfast, and the food was good. The door to our room needed repair and was tended to quickly once we advised reception. The rooms are a bit dated but comfortable and clean, though the bathroom floor could have been better. One of the pools and the jacuzzi were closed for cleaning during our 3-day stay but the other pool was available and well maintained. Access to the beach is great, as is the service on the beach from the hotel. We will recommend and stay at this hotel again.

A really nice hotel
My stay was very good The rooms where clean, lovely and airy The beds comfortable The shower could be updated with a hand held option Option also to have a kettle for tea making in the room will be fantastic. It was difficult getting hot water for tea as the hotel seemed to cater only for coffee drinkers

4/10 Fair

El hotel tiene un muy buen acceso a la playa qje es muy hermosa. Tiene un personal en la cafetería que es muy amable y el desayuno nos gusto mucho. Sin embargo el hotel es hostil con las visitas incluso si solo llegan a la zona de la playa. Nos acorralaron y fue miy incómodo con nuestro familiar que venía a saludarme. Por otra parte los cuartos no tienen secador de pelo y el televisor no sirve. Adicionalmente el primer día no llegamos y en vez de reservar la habitación la dejaron libre para alquilar y por eso cuando llegamos no había habitación. A pesar de que habíamos cancelado el pago previamente. Por último al irnos dejamos el bolso para cuidar en la recepción y al recibirlo estaba abierto y con los objetos en otro orden ( al parecer no se perdió nada a pesar de eso) Por eso. A pesar de que la visita fue agradable principalmente porque el acceso al mar es muy bueno. No recomendaríamos. Gracias
