Fantastisk opphold på hotellet

Personalet var veldig hjelpende og imøtekommende. Rommet var fint og rent da vi kom. God frokost og et fint og avslappende basseng på taket. Veldig fornøyd

Lovely country to visit - highly recommend
Pros:

Lovely hotel, clean and comfortable with friendly staff who go out of their way to please you
We cannot rate them highly enough

Cons:

We did have a slight issue with the electric one day and also the water but it was quickly resolved
They were obviously having renovations done as there was scaffolding up which didn't give us the best outlook and probably accounted for the problems incurred

Lovely hotel, will be great when all the facilities are open in a couple of weeks.
Pros:

Good location, about 50m from the beach on the main road. Unfortunately they were just finishing the decorating when we stayed but it will be done in a couple of weeks. Looked like they have spent money to make it more appealing. The rooftop pool should be good when it’s open. Room was big and always clean.

Cons:

Think we were the only couples staying there at the time. So for obvious reason there wasn’t the breakfast buffet. We were given breakfast to our table. There was plenty of food to fill you up. Omelette and boiled eggs, bread, sausages.

The hotel is beautiful but my stay wasn’t pleasant
Pros:

The location and the hotel is very nice

Cons:

Very poor services. What is advertised on the booking.com and other sites is not what you get. I booked two separate rooms to see the experience. The Junior suite I booked had a Jacuzzi. Upon checking in I found out that the Jacuzzi wasn’t working and they told me it wasn’t included in the booking it’s only on the pictures. They make you look stupid and act as if they’re doing you a favor. I requested for a refund and they refused. They made me cancel the second booking on booking.com then they gave me another room which was lower standard from the original one I had checked in first. When I was checking in they were complementary drinks and I water, when I went to get my stuff the house keeping removed everything including water and cattle. This happened is all two separate rooms I booked with them. I don’t know if they do that to all their customers or it was just me. The hotel is very nice but the bathroom sinks were dirty and rusty. On booking.com it’s on mentioned that the pool is closed but they don’t even allow you to go outside to see the views which are the main reason why most people book the hotel.

My sisters and I had an overall ok stay.
Pros:

Location was beautiful

Reception area too was very lovely

Cons:

Breakfast could have been better with hot beverages services at least, there was no hot chocolate in the four days breakfast had.

The cooling system in the room and reception area needs more attention too, it was quite insufficient particularly at night.

The pool tiles should be attended to as it is slippery and poses a hazard.
