Posizione stupenda ma le 5 stelle le trovi solo nel costo
Pros:

La posizione é indiscutibilmente fantastica e l’hotel vive di questo. Colazione anche molto buona ma il tutto non corrisponde a 5 stelle hotel.

Cons:

Wellness vecchio non curato muffa e sporco negli angoli non “visibili”. Lo stress del cambio asciugamano alla reception! Assurdo se poi la reception non è capace di gestire le forze.Tanti seduti dietro al desk poco competenti poco gentili ed in superstress non appena reception piena. La camera suite mi aspettavo più confortevole più grande e con un bagno separato e spazioso inoltre senza ventilatore dopo la doccia impossibile che non si formi cattivo odore da umidità! Ristorante terrazza stupenda ma qualità e prezzo assolutamente 👎 nemmeno un welcome drink arrivo!

Pros:

La amplitud de la habitación y la limpieza

Cons:

Mucho ruido en el spa, pero esto no es problema del hotel sino de la gente que no lo usa adecuadamente

Buen hotel con vistas al mar
Pros:

La ubicación es buena, la habitación amplia y la cama cómoda. El personal inmejorable, nos recibieron muy sonrientes y dispuestos a ayudar. Hablé con ellos para preparar una sorpresa para mi pareja y todo el personal se involucró y ayudó a poder gestionarlo. El desayuno bien.

Pros:

Nice property and friendly reception staff.
Beautiful and clean room.
Might be a relaxing place for longer stay, but felt it was too expensive.

Cons:

Restaurant for a 5 star hotel was really underwhelming. More of a Bistro food type, rather than fine dining.
The location is a bit off. Not really the nice view and resort type feeling as one would expect.
You have to walk to the beach via a field path and a street. From the balcony we could see this field was not really clean. Some garbage here and there.
