Pros:

The view from the room is stunning, however the bed is hard as a rock. Also the power went out in the middle of the night and we realized in the morning that is was a main breaker in the office area that wasn't reset until a staff member showed up at 9:30 am.

Good location and wonderful views but just a bit noisy on the balcony at night.
Pros:

The location is good and the view is wonderful. The beds comfortable and the property was very clean and modern.

Cons:

Unfortunately it was situated right next to a cocktail bar. This did not matter at all during the day as you could enjoy the views from the balcony and listen to the sea and the noises coming from the port and general area. But come the evening if you wanted to sit out on the balcony you could only hear the loud music from next door. The Water has done all it can to minimise the noise by having double doors and kindly providing ear plugs, and you can’t really hear the noise once the doors were closed. It just limits your use of the balcony and wonderful views.

Pros:

Beautiful room. Seemed like a great location. Lovely in fact, until Saturday night.

Cons:

That was when the disco next door fired up very loud. Very loud! Woke me out of a deep sleep and kept pounding until 3am i am not exaggerating, Literally pounding, smoke machine, drunks everywhere, the whole works

Joli mais mauvais rapport qualité prix
Pros:

Bel emplacement, avec jolie vue sur le port et la mer. Pratique pour rejoindre le centre comme les plages plus excentrées.

Cons:

Hôtel très décevant pour le prix (193 €/nuit). Robinet cassé, douche a même hauteur que le sol donc salle de bain inondée, chambre initiale minuscule avec terrasse donnant sur un mur abîmé (heureusement surclassés). Le vrai problème reste le bruit : travaux l’après-midi, bar en bas avec musique jusqu’à 4 h, puis réveil dès 7 h avec les allées et venues à la réception. Aucune isolation phonique, impossible de se reposer.

Lovely modern room right on the water with spectacular views of the old harbour and out to sea
Pros:

Lovely modern room right on the Water, you can even have a swim, spectacular view of the old harbour and out to sea, staff amazing and very accommodating. Coffee machine facilities in the entrance a nice touch. Even though next to a lively bar had not disturbance, double glazing excellent

Cons:

Nothing

Perfect location and vacation
Pros:

The location was absolutely perfect, our room had a balcony that looked over the port and an incredibly view, we got in late so it was dark and we didn't really appreciate the view until we woke up the next morning, stunning, all the staff were brilliant especially Dimitris who helped with everything and was a lot of fun, there is a bar next door which gets loud at night but it's a great bar and you don't hear it through the triple glazed doors

Cons:

Only slight issue was the hanging space for clothes as there was me, my wife and my 17 yr old daughter so we ended up living out of our suitcases but it really didn't matter as the hotel and location were so good, we will definitely be back

Good for a few nights
Pros:

Very clean and friendly staff. Also really appreciated the double bed in a single-person room.

Cons:

I only received one small towel. I would advise to give at least two big towels. I also thought putting the towel on the toilet wasn't very hygienic.

Perfekte Lage für Nachtschwärmer
Pros:

Wir hatten Hotel aufgrund der phänomenalen Lage mit Meerblick gebucht, näher am Wasser geht es wirklich nicht! Eingerichtet ist es auch sehr süß und macht auf den ersten Blick was her. Wir bekamen keinen direkt nach vorne liegenden Balkon, sondern ein Zimmer mit zurückgesetzten Fenster zum Meer und seitlichen Balkon. War im Endeffekt nicht schlecht, da wir dadurch mehr Privatsphäre hatten … denn unter den Balkonen standen die Partygäste des Clubs nebenan bis früh in den Morgen.

Der Club/die Bar nebenan hat in der Hauptsaison täglich bis 4 Uhr morgens geöffnet. Sehr laute Musik oft bis nach 3 Uhr. Fenster mussten wir daher nachts schließen und selbst dann war es noch hörbar. Also Nix mit gemütlichen Abenden mit Meeresrauschen auf dem Balkon.

Die Hafengegend ist Feierzone. Wer Ruhe sucht, sollte sich lieber weiter außerhalb ein Hotel suchen.

Es fehlten Schränke oder zumindest Regale. Es gab nur 3 (kleine Nachttisch-) Schubladen, eine Eck-Minitischplatte, ein paar Haken an der Wand. Das einzige Fach, in das man Sachen hätte stapeln können und in dem eine Kleiderstange angebracht war, war mit Tresor, Wasserkocher und Tassen besetzt. Wir haben aus dem Koffer gelebt und die Haken an den Wänden genutzt. Fanden wir aber nicht optimal.

Duschen mit halber Überschwemmung aufgrund der ebenerdigen nicht durchdachten Dusche. Dennoch haben wir uns wohl gefühlt. Man konnte vom Fenster aus, die einfahrenden Schiffe und die Flugzeuge beobachten. Im Vorraum gab es eine Kaffee- und Teestation. Im Zimmer einen Kühlschrank. Tresor war kostenfrei im Zimmer. Personal sehr aufmerksam.

Cons:

Die Lärmbelästigung, die fehlenden Staumöglichkeiten
