Cleanliness
5.8
Multiple reviews mention poor room cleaning (humidity smell, cobwebs, dirty walls), occasional dirty jacuzzi and slightly dirty pool — overall cleanliness is below expectations.

Good seaside location and proximity to shops/restaurants noted frequently, though some mention no direct beach access (600m walk, rocks) which reduces perfection.

Mixed: some guests loved the very comfortable bed, others reported rundown rooms, bad mattresses or humidity/odour — overall average room quality with variability.
Amenities
7.3
Pool, activities and on-site facilities are highlights (all-inclusive, many activities), but issues reported with crowded/dirty pool, limited sunbeds, noisy evening music and a dirty jacuzzi.
Value for Money
9
Frequently described as good/excellent value and 'rapport qualité-prix' — guests repeatedly highlight strong value for money.

8
Breakfast repeatedly praised (varied, plenty of choice); a few minor notes about evening food and some items not being ideal (e.g. marmalades).
Overall Experience
8.4
Most guests report an enjoyable stay and recommend the hotel thanks to staff, location and value, tempered by cleanliness and some room/amenity issues.

Un enfer
Pros:

Rien.

Cons:

Aucune isolation dans les chambres à entendre le réveil de mes voisins a 6h45 du matin, ou encore quand ils branchaient leur portable pour le recharger.
Les femmes de ménages n’ont aucun mal à toquer pour vous réveiller (avant 9heures du matin).
Aucun confort dans les chambres (matelas en mousse, absence de rideaux)
Personnel vraiment peu aimable et très bruyant

Schöne Anlage und tolle Lage, aber Zimmer mit Abstrichen
Pros:

Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Umfangreiche Frühstücks-Auswahl. Zwei Pools zur Auswahl, teils mit Wiese und Meerblick. Fußläufig in den Ort mit guten Lokal-Möglichkeiten. Anlage und Zimmer sehr schön und sauber.

Cons:

Wir wurden kurzfristig "upgegraded". Unser Zimmer hatte eine merkwürdige Aufteilung - grundsätzlich sehr groß und auf 2 Etagen aufgeteilt, aber Waschbecken im Raum, generell nicht so modern wie auf den (eigentlich gebuchten) Bildern und mangelhafte Beleuchtung im unteren Stock.

Statt Garden View hatten wir allerdings entfernten Blick aufs Meer von unserem Balkon aus, das hat den Lärm von den täglichen Abendveranstaltungen sowie die doch sehr unbequemen Betten wieder ein wenig wett gemacht.

Inget boende om du vill bada i havet!
Pros:

Läget, personalen och maten var bra.

Cons:

Ingen sandstrand i närheten! Liten pool för ett så stort Hotel. Hårda, smala dubbelsängar.

Rilassante
Pros:

Ho aspettato per mettere questa recensione...perche volevo valutare al ritorno con calma...
Devo dire che e andato oltre le mie aspettative.
Hotel bellissimo, camera perfetta.
Il cibo a partire dalla colazione era molto buono...
Un ringraziamento particolare a katerina la manager ...e stata molto gentile e molto accorta nei nostri confronti...
Ma anche tutto lo staff...dalle ragazze della reception hai camerieri ... un grande grazie per aver reso questa nostra vacanza rilassante e di averci coccolato... ci rivedremo sicuramente...

Sissi captured my heart. So pretty and plenty to see and do. Castello Village is very professionally run 🩷
Pros:

We were upgraded on arrival to a room with a spa on the balcony. This was very welcomed in the hot evenings with the sunset behind us. Amazing. Two pools and lots of restaurants near by. Sissi captured my heart ❤️

Cons:

No kitchen area or fridge, but there was a small chiller. If you are self catering there is tea and coffee facilities but that’s all. No cutlery or crockery, or a tea spoon, there is a wooden stirrer disposable. We had breakfast included which was very good and plenty of choice
