Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were cozy with a good view, but they need maintenance and are a bit pricey. Tipping regularly seemed necessary to receive the expected service. While the location was wonderful, offering proximity to shopping areas and attractions, the service was lacking as they were not focused and often pushed for tips. The dining experience was average, with some delicious options but falling short in areas like salads and fruits. The facilities were decent, but more services, especially in the bathroom, would have been appreciated.
The hotel had the benefit of being situated close to the sea, offering a calming sound in the morning. However, my disappointment stemmed from the poor quality sofa bed and mattress, rendering the stay less enjoyable and not worth the investment.
