Verwöhn- Urlaub in sehr gastfreundlicher Umgebung.
Pros:

Hotellage direkt am Strand am Ende der Hotelstraße.
Zimmer mit direktem Blick aufs Meer. Großer überdachter Balkon. Große Zimmer. Insgesamt außergewöhnliche Ausstattung des Hotels.
Phantastische Buffets morgens und abends. Superfreundliches Personal. Alles sehr sauber.
Top-Empfehlung.

Cons:

Das Hotel müsste demnächst mal ein wenig renoviert werden. Der Swimming Pool ist klein.

Not great, pool was under maintenance, if you want an ice at the bar you have to pay for it.
Pros:

Location and only.
wouldn’t suggest.

Cons:

We asked for a breakfast to take with us, as we had an early flight…they gave us (for 2 of us) 2 two half sandwiches with one super slim ham 1 ham slice in each and 2 apples…poor. that was even funny. we laughed and bin it.

Room was clean, but very used…most of the things didn’t work, lights…hair dryer…etc.

Don’t believe them!
Pros:

The location is nice, the coffee is excellent.
Just don’t trust what they say, they’d sell you the air if they could.

Cons:

We were definitely 1000% told upon checking in that breakfast AND dinner were included. We took his word for it and then were charged for the dinner- a very hefty cost for a mediocre buffet/cafeteria style dinner. When we confronted them about this the manager yelled at me telling me it was my fault. There were people in the lobby watching and stunned by this interaction. It was my birthday and set the day off to a terrible start.
There are enormous cockroaches, an alive one fell out of our clothes as we got dressed in the morning. Appalling!
There is absolutely zero sound proofing, you can hear everything including toilet noises.
The staff is rude and unpleasant and unprofessional.

Nice Hotel - Good Location
Pros:

Bed very comfortable, shower was in good condition. Breakfast very nice. Nice location and staff excellent.

Cons:

The outside deck seems it needs updating but this is low season so maybe they have plans in place. There was a fusty smell in the bar area where there was a cloth left lying on floor to soak up water/leak.

The perfect stay!
Pros:

Everything! From check in, which was friendly, fast and professional to facilities and incredible staff it was a great experience. It was all perfect! The hotel is spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. Our room was spacious and modern with a large terrace and side sea view on the 4th floor. We could not have been happier. We had bed and breakfast but paid for a dinner one night, which was a beautiful buffet with a large selection. The location, grounds, pool and bar area were all great too. Sunset music at Nazar Bar is a must. We’d definitely repeat.

Cons:

Nothing. It was all perfect.

Jederzeit wieder!
Pros:

Der freundiche und professionelle Service angefangen von der Rezeption, Zimmerservice bis zur Bedienung im Restaurant war auffallend gut. Hervorzuheben waren die Sauberkeit im ganzen Hotel einschließlich des Zimmers sowie auch das aufmerksame Auffüllen der Speisen beim Buffet. Ständig wechselde Themenauswahl. Wir hatten Anfang April eine schöne ruhige und entspannte Zeit und traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge!

Cons:

Der Aufzug macht tatsächlich Geräusche, die leicht störend wirken je nach Lage des Zimmers. Der Poolbereich ist leicht renovierungsbedürftig.
