Categories

Cleanliness
1
Mixed reports: several guests praised very clean rooms and attentive housekeeping, but issues reported with pool condition (green/yellow), smell of bleach in rooms, insects from ceiling and shower darkness affected perceived cleanliness.
Service
1
Strong positive sentiment overall: many mentions of amazing, friendly and attentive staff and owners who helped guests; isolated negative incident with one manager on arrival noted but other staff praised as professional and caring.
Location
1
Consistently positive: beachfront, excellent location within walking distance to nightlife, 'a pie de playa', great views from rooms — repeatedly highlighted as a major pro.
Room Quality
1
Mixed to negative: some rooms spacious with great views, but several guests reported missing advertised amenities (no bathtub, fan, desk), hard beds, air-conditioning problems and dated bathrooms; one review mentioned insects falling from the ceiling.
Amenities
1
Mixed: positives include pool, playground, beach towels and mosquito nets; negatives include pool maintenance problems (discoloration, product staining swimwear), restaurant closures/not communicated and some advertised amenities missing.
Value for Money
1
Mixed impressions: some guests felt room/sea-view justified extra payment, while others complained about unexpected charges/compensation handling and service lapses; overall neutral.
Food and Beverage
1
Mixed: several guests enjoyed the breakfast and meals, but many complaints about very slow breakfast service (long waits, forgotten breakfasts), limited/poor options in some stays and occasional poor quality.
Overall Experience
1
Overall mixed: many guests enjoyed the setting, staff and vistas and would return, but recurring operational issues (slow/poor breakfast service, pool condition staining swimwear, missing room amenities, AC/electricity problems and an unpleasant manager incident) meaningfully detracted from stays.

Bon séjour dans l ensemble
Pros:

La piscine en bord de mer.
La propreté de la chambre.
Et on était proches des restaurants et boutiques

Cons:

Je trouve ça dommage pour un 4 étoiles que le petit-déjeuner soit à la carte , on a droit que à un seul choix et le petit buffet posé sur la table était très léger et de mauvais goût.
Certains serveurs étaient nonchalants surtout un grand et mince à lunettes.
La wifi marchait mal.
Notre climatiseur ne marchait pas, malgré plusieurs réclamations on ne l’a jamais réparé. Idem pour l eau chaude, les deux derniers jours ça ne marchait pas et personne n’est venu.

Piccolo angolo di paradiso
Pros:

Piccolo resort con tutte le comodità e una posizione speciale in riva al mare e lungo una spiaggia magnifica. Inoltre stanze pulite e gradevoli, servizio di pulizia efficiente, personale sempre presente e disponibile, cucina eccellente e variegata, a volte accompagnata dalla musica di gruppi locali, comodi lettini (sempre disponibili in quantità sufficiente) collocati lungo la piscina e davanti al mare. Inoltre posizione perfetta per uscire e fare un giro attraverso la vivace cittadina di Paje.

Pros:

the location is good.. the receptionists were helpful and ready to reply ..using what's app method was great 👍.. a kidz area was good.. the room service was good..

Cons:

the gathering area for breakfast , dinner is only one while I request to go up in another area and manager refused .. no coach to sit at for us Muslims because we don't do tan! .. the breakfast was boring and nothing new with a very old equipments .. no great ideas, it's designed for groups, I guess.. the appearance is important to us as Muslim Arabs coming from GCC.. no tissue at rooms .. no slippers .. no hair comp or toothbrush.. even if the hotel doesn't provide the services it buys selling since our laggeges didn't reach the airport when we landed! garbage baskets need to have plastics for hygiene purposes, especially the one at bathrooms.

Agradable
Pros:

Me gustó la zona y el trato agradable y cordial. Está bien situado y la relación calidad precio se ajusta a lo que se paga.

Cons:

Tardan mucho en servir la comida después de haberla solicitado. No tienen varios platos del menú por razones varias y modifican los ingredientes de los mismos. No se adecua, a veces, a lo solicitado.
