Hotel Villa List

I’ll start with the positive. The location is good. You walk out of the hotel and you’re on the beach. The size of the rooms was acceptable. The staff were friendly. Pool size is good.
On the other hand, this is definitely not a 4 star hotel. No water, no coffee making facilities, the aircon cannot be adjusted to your desired temperature as it kept on going to very low on its own. The free toiletries were of a very low quality and there was no shower cap or conditioner. Only shampoo and body wash was offered which we did not use and had to buy our own. The towels have seen better days.
The smell from the tubes in the bathroom was overwhelming and even though the bathroom fan was on 24/7, it was not helping and the room constantly smelled.
The area around the pool is in urgent need of refurbishment especially the wooden planks on the ground. The sun loungers and the umbrellas (especially umbrella holders) were probably good few years ago but are now way past their due date.
The worst for me was when I was asked to pay 7lv. per day to use the safe in the room!!! And the receptionist convincing me that this is the practice EVERYWHERE, was even more unacceptable than the charge. I cannot understand how you charge your guests €1000 for 5 nights and you think it’s OK to ask additional €3.50 for the safe. Let alone the fact that we travel extensively and have never, ever until now been asked to pay for the use of the safe.
