Dias Studios & Suites

For all the excellent reviews I see, I never saw what they saw. The staff were far from friendly, the food was just about edible and the shower was basically a bidet with a shower curtain. We were barely welcomed when we arrived. George (manager/owner) pointed us in the direction of our room, from reception, with a shrugged “enjoy your stay”. I thought was odd, but gave the benefit of the doubt. Following morning, I gave my breakfast plate back, said thank you, smiled etc. The woman (assuming owner’s wife, as she was completing bookkeeping etc) would not EVER make eye contact. *The incident that sealed this review* That evening, my boyfriend and I had been out majority of the day, went to dinner and we came back quite late. My boyfriend was playing a bit of music on the balcony. A young man came running to the balcony and said could you please turn it down. Of course. The song changed, the young man then came running back out, now shouting, “I told you to turn that off, if you don’t, you will leave”. He’s not changed to music off and not down? My boyfriend and I didn’t want to have a shouting match up and down the balcony, so we went to apologise down in Reception. I am not confrontational at all; I don’t like drama and never want drama. We apologised and I tried to explain, we were going to bed and lets move forward. He did NOT want to listen, especially to me. He was inconsolable. He explained that he’d called the Boss (George). I said it wasn’t necessary, we were going to bed. He said that he knew BAD people and we should beware. We were then greeted by George, he told us to sit down - like school children. And he explained the no music, British people ruined that for the hotel a long time ago(we are also British). We accepted we were in the wrong for that and I proceeded to apologise for the waking him up. BUT his son? The young boy, was threatening and I felt unsafe. It never needed to escalate to that. George said lets forget, everyone apologise to each other. “But if I hear anything more from you two, you will be asked to leave and I know all the hotels round here; no one will take you” another threat. As much as I wanted to leave, I was too scared that he would have called other hotels. So we decided to stay. But we stayed out all day, everyday. We only came back to sleep and shower (in the bidet with a curtain). I would never recommend this place after the way we were treated. It is something I have never experienced in my life. It was mortifying.
