Great location but too much noise
Pros:

The good: Great, big breakfast buffét with a roof top view over the sea and town. 10/10. The cleaning/room keeping is very good and the over all condition of the hotel is nice and clean. It’s close to the beach, just across the road. And it’s in walking distance to the ”old town” and beach walk where you have restaurants, cafees, supermarkets (Deco Gourmet is the best, you can find everything you need there, 10 min walk from the hotel). and the pharmacy is close by on the corner street of the supermarket).

The two guys working at the front desk are super helpful, the restaurant staff at the breakfast aswell.

Cons:

The bad: the hotel hosts events, parties and weddings in the hotel garden right outside from the rooms/balcony. They blasted music to 1 pm in the night and when confronted just brushed it away. (Not so great if you want to sleep and relax during your vacation). The rooms are very … so when the breakfast staff starts to arrange the tables and chairs 06:30 you’ll wake up. We asked a few times and the staff pretended like nothing. Though the tall guy with brown hair and glasses actually talked with the breakfast staff and things improved. The beach is not private though that’s what being marketed when you book your stay. The lady in the frontdesk assured us that it was only for the hotel guests. They have sunbeds and umbrellas for the guests but there was a few people who sneaked in and just occupied sunbeds without being guests of the hotel and not paying. There are also sellers on the beach and some of them can get really pushy, insisting that you buy something. The manager, a lady with curly dark hair was very defensive and rude about this. ”We can do what we want” was the answer when confronted. She remained rude the whole stay, fake smiling as soon as she saw us. Be aware of her. I’ve traveled all over the world but she was one of the most arrogant I’ve ever met. Totalt forgot that her guests payed 3000 € for the stay and never tried to solve anything regarding blasting music at night, the beach or waking up at 6:30.

Do not forget that the hotel will charge you 40 € when leaving, (TAX).

So… If you can accept walking up during the night and early morning choose this hotel, but if you are looking for a quiet, relaxing hotel this is not for you.

Insgesamt gut, jedoch überteuert und mit deutlichen Mängeln
Pros:

Die Lage ist ausgezeichnet. Insgesamt ist das Frühstück sehr gut, bis auf die fehlenden Brötchen und das miese Brot. Die Aussicht aus dem Frühstücksraum ist super. Personal an der Rezeption sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.

Cons:

Dass man kein eigenes Wasser oder einen Snack mit ins Zimmer nehmen darf, ist absolut inakzeptabel, insbesondre, wenn man aus gesundheitlichen Gründen sehr viel trinken muss. Es geht nur darum, noch ein paar Euro mehr aus dem Gast herauszuquetschen. WLAN gab es nur direkt an der Zimmertür. Am Schreibtisch oder im Bett kein Empfang möglich. Reklamation blieb folgenlos. Der Chlorgeruch vom Pool zog auch bei gesclossemen Fenster in den Raum. Deutlich zu wenige Hotelparkplatz. Freundlicherweise wurde unser Wagen vom Rezeptionisten geparkt. Wir haben während des gesamten Aufenthalts dort stehen lassen. Elektronische Lichtsteuerung im Zimmer nicht selbsterklärend. Keinerlei Anleitung vorhanden. Vorgänger hatten die Birnen losgeschraubt, um das Licht zu löschen.

Definitely not 5 star
Pros:

Holiday | Couple
I will start with the positives.
Great location for beach and town which is stunning.great breakfast plenty choice
Quiet around the pool for the most.great view from the restaurant.
Hotel rooms are just ok,this hotel is more like a 3 star definitely not 5 star.
We had a view of over grown weeds and a car park.
2 turtles in a supposed pond in the hotel,it was filthy limited water and a few stones thrown in.
While knowbody really watches tv on holiday I did look and it only had 1 English channel bbc news,no access 2 tv apps eg Netflix (which u would expect in 5 star).
No fridge to use in room and taking in food is FORBIDDEN (ridiculous rule)
Drinks in the hotel are very expensive 16 euro for a pre made cocktail.
The beds are rock hard.
Overall the hotel is more style over substance and tends to prioritise weddings and conferences over hotel guests.
Rooms: 3/5 | Service: 3/5 | Location: 5/5

Ci ritornerei sicuramente.
Pros:

La pulizia e la cortesia del personale, ma tutte le infrastrutture in generale.

Cons:

Non c’è nulla che non mi abbia piaciuto, ma forse la colazione per un cinque stelle potrebbe essere leggermente migliore, per esempio mi ha stupito che non ci sono su di frutta di spremute fresche

Belle découverte
Pros:

L’emplacement
Le rapport qualité prix
La chambre
La plage privée avec transat
Le parking pour la voiture

Cons:

Le personnel du petit déjeuner ne dit pas bonjour, ne sourit pas, n’est pas avenant. Seul le monsieur qui faisait les œufs était agréable. Dommage ! Car au petit déjeuner il y avait tout ce qu’il fallait : beaucoup de choix et tout était très bon.

Pros:

Qualità della struttura, pulizia, posizione, staff dell'hotel eccezionale..

Cons:

Unico - ma non irrilevante - neo, nel giorno del nostro brevissimo soggiorno nell'albergo, la pessima qualità del ristorante sulla spiaggia, che ci ha servito il peggior cibo del nostro viaggio di una settimana nell'isola. Al di là del prezzo pagato, assurdo per quanto ci è stato servito, fa decisamente scadere l'immagine dell'hotel.
