i found the location very convenient, especially the short walks to the beach and shopping center! the reception staff were friendly and helpful. i also really appreciated that after discussing my initial room, i was given a different room with more storage space, which i really needed!

the new menu was a little different, and i missed breakfast and dinner outside under the palm trees, that they had last year.

Solid Stay with Great Location

excellent location renovated rooms spacious room sufficient sunbeds

I found the location excellent, providing easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. The hotel was clean, though my room was cleaned only two days out of my three-night stay. The pool area had plenty of sunbeds.

The beds were quite springy. I could feel the springs. Upgrading to the renovated rooms is advisable.

mixed feelings about my stay

outdated furniture broken fixtures

the location was convenient for getting around, i have to say.

the room felt really outdated. the furniture looked old and worn and the bathroom needed some repairs. the shower wasn't great and some of the fixtures seemed broken, this made it less enjoyable.
