A fuir
Pros:

Rien

Cons:

Nous avons quitté cet hôtel après une seule nuit tellement l'expérience a été catastrophique. Les photos ne reflètent absolument pas la réalité.

L'établissement est dans un état de délabrement avancé : tout est vétuste, mal entretenu et sale. On a l'impression d'être dans un hôtel abandonné, presque fantôme. Les chambres sont très vieillissantes, les équipements sont abîmés et le manque d'entretien est visible partout.

Le service est extrêmement lent et peu réactif. Face à cette situation, nous avons demandé un remboursement pour les nuits restantes, mais celui-ci nous a été refusé malgré l'état des lieux.

L'hôtel est également très isolé, sans réel intérêt aux alentours, ce qui rend le séjour encore plus désagréable.

Je déconseille fortement cet établissement. C'est de loin l'une de nos pires expériences. À fuir.

Ich werde definitiv zum dritten Mal in dieses schöne Hotel mit mega traumhaften Meerblick kommen
Pros:

Überaus freundliches Personal. Atemberaubender / wunderschöner Meerblick

Cons:

Ich habe online das beste Zimmer mit traumhaften Meerblick gebucht. Bekam aber bei Ankunft ein bescheidenes Zimmer mit Gsrtenblick. Bei meiner Ankunft soll ein Wasserschaden im gebuchten Zimmer gewesen sein....Als Entschädigung erhielt ich einen finanziellen zufriedenstellenden Ausgleich. Das Personal vom Hotel ist super freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit

Pros:

This place is a haven in the middle of nowhere.
The staff was excellent always attending to every need.
They have an amazing garden which is immaculately kept being so relaxing to just walk around on.
We had a wonderful time in the spacious pool which was perfectly clean with towels prepared for our use.
There was abundant parking space with the area kept safe.

Cons:

The side road going off the main road is a safari in itself but that should not put you off just make sure you have an adequate vehicle if driving your own.
A lock from our balcony door was broken for which they found a temporary fix but trusting now it will be sorted.
