Staff repeatedly praised as very friendly, professional and helpful (reception, director handling refunds, attentive personnel); service is a strong positive across reviews.

Mixed feedback: attractive sea views and a private-feel beach in some rooms, but several guests mention being far from town, limited taxis and misleading photos regarding beachfront proximity.
Room Quality
7
Frequent reports of maintenance problems (broken patio doors, leaky bathrooms, malfunctioning TV, mattresses to replace) and some worn furniture—room quality viewed as below expectations by many.
Amenities
8.4
Pool, parking, security and extras like massage service are appreciated; some issues noted (cold pool, some loungers damaged) but overall amenities are a positive.
Value for Money
8.2
Several guests note breakfast included and acceptable pricing, though maintenance and cleanliness issues reduce perceived value for some visitors.

Zona calma , staff bastante simpático e atencioso . Piscina boa , praia em frente e apenas areia e não tem acesso à prai
Pros:

Zona bastante calma , os funcionários do estabelecimento bastante atenciosos e prestáveis.
Localizado perto do aeroporto.

Cons:

As fotos aqui no booking são um pouco enganadoras em relação a praia , parece que tem acesso a uma praia mas é apenas areia com umas espreguiçadeiras.

Séjour moyen,il faut un vehicule ou taxi pour ce déplacer de cet endroit pour aller en ville.
Pros:

Parking ou place de parc,épicerie au pied du complexe,piscine,surface assez grande ,grand balcon avec vue partiel sur la mer.Il y avait un petit déjeuner pour le prix.
Ils ont remédié dans la journée pour corriger les problèmes.

Cons:

Matelas a changer on sent le somier,porte fenêtre très difficile a ouvrir,et plein de couac (lit pas fait,pas de TV,pas d'eau chaude,lumière du salon ne fonctionnait pas) le premier et deuxième jour.
Il devrait mieux contrôler avant de remettre les clefs aux clients,
Petit déjeuner pas varié,tous les jours identique et peu de suivi des plats vide.
Piscine froide,chaise longue pas toutes en bon état.

Un breve soggiorno da sogno
Pros:

Sono stata con il mio ragazzo una notte in questo Aparthotel e devo dire che la permanenza è stata ancor meglio delle aspettative. Un luogo unico per rilassarsi, lontano dal caos di altre location. La camera l'ho trovata molto pulita e la colazione buona e variegata. Staff molto gentile e pronto per ogni nostra esigenza. Ho avuto anche l'opportunità di usufruire del servizio massaggi e sono stata molto soddisfatta. Penso che tornerò per soggiornare più notti ed esplorare l'isola.

Cons:

Tutto ottimo

Séjour décevant
Pros:

La vue sur la plage privé, la piscine était plaisant. L'entrée de l'hôtel est sublime et le personnel est accueillant.

Cons:

Le confort des lits laissaient à désirer, la salle de bain fuyait et été trempée, les portes vitrés était cassées, on pouvait à peine rentrer et sortir sur la terrasse. Le mobilier était sale, la table à manger était grasse et pas nettoyer. Les équipement étaient rongés par le temps et le sel.

Pros:

Séjour malheureusement décevant concernant l’hôtel en lui-même. Les photos donnaient une impression beaucoup plus moderne et propre que la réalité. Les équipements étaient assez vieillissants et la propreté pas totalement à la hauteur de nos attentes, ce qui nous a poussés à partir plus tôt. La vue des chambres plutôt sympathique

En revanche, le personnel a vraiment été au top avec nous du début à la fin. Les réceptionnistes étaient très gentils et professionnels, et nous avons aussi pu échanger directement avec une directrice sur WhatsApp pour le remboursement, qui a été géré sérieusement et avec compréhension. Un grand merci à l’équipe pour leur attitude irréprochable.
