Cleanliness
7.5
Mixed comments: many rooms described as clean and tidy, but multiple reports of dirty pool, sand in pool and dirt under beds — overall slightly below typical for this tier.
Service
9
Generally praised: numerous mentions of helpful, friendly and excellent staff and service; a few isolated complaints about unfriendly/unwilling staff.
Location
8.8
Strong sea views and very close to the beach are repeatedly praised; some reviewers note the location is isolated from attractions and beaches nearby suffer from litter.
Room Quality
9
Rooms and suites often described as spacious, comfortable, with great sea views and recent refurbishments; occasional notes that some renovated units feel sparsely furnished.
Amenities
7.8
Good amenities (large pool, pool bar, kids club) and beach access noted, but recurring issues: pool cleanliness problems, limited parking and some paid extras (kids club, extra key card).
Value for Money
7.5
Mixed: many find the stay comfortable and worthwhile, but guests note extra charges (deposit for additional key card, paid kids club) and limited breakfast variety which reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
7
Frequent complaints about breakfast: limited choices, repetition, slow preparation and items running out; some positive mentions of good food and service on occasion.
Overall Experience
8.2
Overall positive sentiment with many guests recommending or returning, thanks to views, comfortable rooms and service — tempered by breakfast, some cleanliness and amenity issues.

Schönes Hotel
Pros:

Die Suite war sehr schön und die Aussicht genial.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war sehr knapp. Es fehlte an Wurst und Käse.
Am Pool wurden die hygienischen Grundsätze nicht eingehalten.
