Pros:

Location was really good and the staff was lovely

Cons:

Overall good hotel but wouldn't rate is great. Breakfast was okay, woudl have loved a bit more variety of local products. The pool area was really simple and not having any wow factors. Nice view of the room but only early morning sun. Overall okay hotel, nothing really to complain but expectations were higher

Pros:

Beds were good - not too soft or hard, just perfect for us. Generous breakfast. Friendly staff, in all contact points. Pool and beach area clean and pleasant. Great sea- and poolview from 9th floor. Possibility for late check-out.
Thanks for the few extras we got: eg. prepaid sunbeds and fruit+wine greeting.

Cons:

Soundproofing: at the beginning of our stay was very quiet, but last mornings woke up to some toddlers crying and screaming in other rooms.

There was a message in bathroom about changing towels ("save nature") - we didn't leave our towels on the floor to be changed, but they were changed anyway.

Pekný hotel
Pros:

Pekne lokalizovaný hotel. Aj keď jedna časť a druhá časť sú na rôznych stranách cesty, prístup je pomerne pohodlný a rýchly. Izba bola veľmi pekná, raňajky na solídnej úrovni, všade bolo čisto. Wifi fungovala bezchybne,

Pros:

Seaview was great. Breakfast had a lot of options. Very tasty as well, highly recommend. We felt very welcome from the beginning until the very last moment. Such lovely smiling staff! ☺️ Had multiple kind surprises from the hotel like free room upgrade as we were celebrating marriage and family. THANK you for everything!

Cons:

Pool was quite cold still and room could use a little renovation, quite outdated and therefor it affects the cleaniness and overall look/feel.

Perfect!
Pros:

The food is super tasty. They really put heart in cooking. They also have a different theme of the day, like Mexican or Chinese day, but on that day you can still get a proper local food.

The view from balcony at 9th floor is breathtaking. People are super nice. We will definitely come back.

All the best!
