Reviews
The food is diverse, the room is very nice. The staff always replaces the towels im the room even if you don't want it replaced.
I would like more visible indicators in hallways about where what is. Only 4 days in, the room service told me i can take the stairs to the restaurant instead of taking the elevator twice.
But the bigger problem is with the pool/beach sunbed "reservations".
At 8 AM the beach is 40% "occupied" by people who leave the towels on the sunbeds. At 9 AM its impossible to find a spot at the outside pool.
Staff either shrug or evict a spot only if you complain.
I saw people come to their sunbeds after 4 hours. I've seen panicked people about their abandoned towel when the staff moved the sunbeds because they couldn't get the card.
It enforces the same toxic behavior . If someone would collect everything at 8AM people would have a chance at a spot after breakfast.
But:
- inside the apartments, the main room cannot be locked. If you have kids and looking for some privacy is kind of difficult to find it.
- the beach sunbeds are insufficient. Although the hotel's policy is "no reservation for sunbeds", if you want one, you must wake up early in the morning and put your towels on. At 8am all of them are taken.
- same issue for the pool sunbeds, it is impossible to find one after 8am.
- so i couldn't rest properly because each morning I had to get up early in order to "reserve" sunbeds for the entire family. I wouldn't mind staying anywhere as long as it would be enough sunbeds for everybody.
- there are not enough tables and chairs to sit and have a drink after dinner.
- There are lines everywhere: line at the main restaurant, line at the beach bar, line at the elevator, line at the reception... You have to be very patient.
- as a personal matter, i would rather have the parking included in the reservation ticket cost than find out at the hotel that i must pay more than 10 euro / day
- my kids considered the mini club a joke. It's a small area, nothing much to do.
- towel service only 1 hour in the morning, 1 hour in the afternoon. Some days, in the afternoon, 30 minutes after opening you couldn't find any available towels.
- for the a la carte restaurants, the Italian was top. I suggest you skip the Bulgarian...
- check in at 3pm, checkout at 11 am. Basically you lose one lunch. The first day you can consider it lost because you cannot get towels and find sunbeds anywhere.
Service was pretty good for the most part. My two absolute favourites were Kami and Mikhail exceptional service and very motivated servers. The booked dinners were pretty good.
Some servers were visibly bored.
The location was pretty good right next to the beach. Though even if you go right after breakfast there's already towels everywhere to claim the sunbeds which even tho the hotel says they remove them they don't. They're more concerned with one room 2 sunbeds 1 umbrella but only in the morning.
Though i must mention the hotel has a very weird concept. Which nobody really understands what their concept is.
Overall i think i wouldn't stay here again as there's many hotels here and it was nothing overwhelmingly good.
Food options are plenty with a main buffet that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Several book in advance restaurants, with some included from the chains other hotels. Make sure you book early to avoid disappointment.
We recommend the concept rooms so that you gain access to the sky bar and adults only area with a stunning infinity pool on the roof of the hotel.
The only let downs were as follows, the bed was rock hard on arrival and we had to ask for a mattress topper to be added, also the pillows are not amazing so be ready to ask for a wide selection.
The mini bar in the concept room was not filled every day and we had to ask on more than one occasion.
Overall a nice hotel, as it's a family hotel you will have loud children and sometimes even louder parents.
Our stay was better than we expected. Good value for money.
The only thing to upgrade in my opinion is to organize some courses for bar tenders how to prepare drinks however they were kind and try to do their best. Generally staff it’s the strongest point of this hotel.
Great animator Alex 💪🏻
