Casa Cabana Boutique Hotel & Spa - Adults Only

(We stayed in a jacuzzi room.) As other reviews have mentioned, the rooms are quite impractical, although they look stylish. Impractical because there is next to nowhere to put your things - there is no furniture in the room other than a bed and some moulded concrete alcoves at floor level; the room doesn't look quite so stylish with 2 open suitcases taking up most of the floor space the whole time you're there! If you're a lady who likes to sit and do their hair and makeup - forget it - there is no dressing table, and no power outlet near enough to the only mirror, nor a chair either for that matter. There is a wooden "clothes rail" affair which provides approx 18" of hanging space. And you bump your head on the "lobster pot" lightshades every time you get in and out of the bed! The standard of room cleaning was very slap dash - our toilet and shower weren't properly cleaned in 12 nights and the counter wasn't wiped from one day to the next. Curtains were falling down. Shower was excellent. Free safe in room. Large and very comfy bed. No kettle provided until we asked for one from reception. Jacuzzi was large, warm, powerful and clean, but not very private. We didn't use the pool. It's small and the area around it is overcrowded with sun beds. Lots of those are in the shade. Breakfast was good - wide selection, no complaints. Some nice outdoor tables to sit and eat at. Bar and restaurant were empty every evening - we didn't try them. It was annoying to be woken up every morning before 8am by a leaf blower, followed by cleaners shouting across the courtyard. (Church bells too, but that's beyond the remit of Casa Cabana haha). Not a place for a holiday lie-in. Overall, Casa Cabana is pretty "vibeless" - there's no atmosphere at all about the place. Staff were polite and efficient (bar the cleaner) but not friendly or welcoming. Perhaps they'd had enough for the season. I've stayed in better hotels on Rhodes which charge a lot less than Casa Cabana. Faliraki isn't the most interesting of places. It's a purpose-built resort. Few Greeks live there outside the tourist season. There is no Greek charm. Not many restaurants serving authentic traditional Greek food. ("Sepp" is worth a visit for simple Greek cuisine and a lovely welcome.) The beach is great - long, clean and sandy, safe for children. Sunbeds are expensive at 20 Euros a pair.

We stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks. Unfortunately we weren't really greeted friendly in the evening, maybe because we were really late due to the global IT problems at the airport (but we even informed them by email which they didnt even reply to) but the staff at the recepetion took a call while we were already talking to them and just left us waiting. Afterwards we didnt really feel welcomed but asked for a possible upgrade which she just didnt even check but insisted we have to talk to the person in charge on the next day. We did so and in the end luckily didnt book the upgrade to a room w a private pool, since we saw that you dont really have sun on the sunbeds after 2pm so it wouldnt have been worth it anyway. The breakfast buffet was really good and the staff around the bar/pool area was very kind. After a few days we felt that our room wasnt properly cleaned and contacted the reception, they ensured us to take care of it and talk to the cleaning team and clean it proper the next day. When we came back the next afternoon from our trip the room wasnt event cleaned it looked as if they just made the bed and thats it, they also forgot the towels and even though we made a request the bed sheets were not changed. We called the reception again but they just said they are still checking w the team and will make sure the next day - this behaviour was really disappointing and from a persperctive of a person that works in hospitality we didnt really feel understood or taking serious at this point. In the end the room was cleaned proper after we insisted twice but we didnt even get a clear explanation, refund or anything which is in consideration of the price and their standard in the rest of the hotel just disappointing. All in all it was an okei experience since the whole stay was a bit shadowed by the staff's treatment.
