Family holiday
A great value hotel. Staff are friendly and welcoming. The pool area is fantastic, and the food available at the pool bar is home-cooked and delicious.
Bedrooms are basic, but who spends much time in the bedroom on holiday anyway?!
Only issue was the beds - mattresses are not comfy at all. But overall, a great holiday location that I would recommend.

It’s good but not the rooms
The area is amazing because it’s very nice, even the staff are nice.
The ambiance is very well kept and nice. But our room is very out dated, like 90s still. In my opinion they need an upgrade to make the rooms level with the pool and the around area of the hotel.
We stayed there just for one night before we go to the airport. But we didn’t sleep well every hour we wakes up because the bed is very uncomfortable and the pillows are very thin :/
Bathroom without Soaps, and no plugs on one side of the bed and there is a lamp but you can’t plug it in.
But the bar area, the pool is amazing even the person at the bar is nice. The food is good as well.

This place is really cozy and the surroudings are so beautiful, it is a perfect place to relax. Couldnt ask for more - it was by far the best hotel experience I’ve ever had. The family who runs the hotel is lovely and friendly. Feels like a home away from home. Hotel is kind of middle of nowhere but you also have everything you need at the hotel. Food is delicious and rooms are spacious and clean. Definitely going back!

Bad decision
Oh boy, where should I start. When we checked in the owner told us that AC is 7 euros per day, we had to agree so she would hand us the remote. Internet was so slow so don’t count on it. The room smelled, the bed was so uncomfortable, the hotel is situated on a hill, you have to drive through a maze for 15 min to find it and all locations around it almost 30 min away. The pictures advertised for the chairs on the sand near the beach does not exist. This place is basically money milking with no consideration for peoples comfort.

Unsitio agradable salvo por la plaga de cucarachas
Empezamos regular porque solicité instrucciones para la entrada y no me respondieron. Es cierto que me las habían enviado en un mensaje que recibí meses antes, pero creo que merecía una respuesta.
La habitación era grande y estaba limpia aunque antigua y no muy bien equipada.
Por la mañana la recepcionista nos comunicó que debíamos pagar 21 euros por el uso del aire acondicionado durante tres días, lo cual no habíamos visto nunca. Nos dijo de forma bastante antipática que si no queríamos pagar no tendríamos aire acondicionado, aunque hacía mucho calor ( más de treinta y cinco grados).
El tirador del WC no funcionaba. Lo comunicamos en dos ocasiones y seguía sin funcionar.
Las fotografías publicadas se corresponden con la realidad; sin embargo el sonido que producían las cigarras era insoportable, de manera que no era agradable salir al balcón durante el día.
Pero era peor por la noche: ayer contamos en el balcón (de unos tres metros cuadrados) nueve cucarachas todas correteando a sus anchas. También salían por los desagües de la ducha y del suelo del baño. La higiene por tanto es pésima.
No volveríamos a este establecimiento de ninguna manera.

Sijainti hyvä. Vastaanotto oli todella miellyttävä. Huoneesta upea näköala ja piha/allasalue mukavat.
Sänky ja tyynyt olivat äärimmäisen kovat ja epämukavat. Yöllä herätessä lennolle, muutama iso torakka juoksi lattialla kun sytytimme valot. Kotona laukkujen purku varmuudeksi ulkona.

Séjour décevant de 3 nuits
Séjour de 3 nuits.Arrivée par un temps pluvieux aussi nous n’avons pas pu apprécier ni jouir ni de la vue ni de la piscine .
Bon accueil, Grande chambre , lit confortable mais : pas de bouilloire ni machine à café comme indiqué ; pas de tapis de bain ; 2 maigres savons pour lavabo et douche .
Rideau de douche vieux , usagé , couleur douteuse. Nous avons dû payer le chauffage (7 euros /jour, car la température extérieure était à 14 degrés. Pas de couette mais 2 couvertures à l’ancienne dans une armoire sentant le moisi .
Bien Décevant par rapport aux avis des autres internautes
