Rachoni Imperial

This could have been an excellent hotel with a fantastic view, a lovely beach, and all the necessary facilities if they had invested in the room's furniture. We stayed here for three nights with breakfast included. We chose a sea-view room, offering a beautiful view of the sea, the beach, and the pool area. However, the room could sometimes be noisy due to guests drinking near the pool area, where the beach bar and tavern are also located. The room was "almost clean" because when we arrived, we found ants all over the place. Fortunately, we had bug spray and managed to get rid of most of them. While the sheets were white and clearly washed, they were stained. The furniture was old, made of imitation leather, and was all torn apart. It was evident that there had been no investment in the furnishings for a long time, which was really disappointing. On a positive note, the bathroom was nice and clean, the towels were also nice and clean, and the room size was good. It was great to have a balcony with a sea view where you could enjoy relaxing drinks. We had some issues with the air conditioning and called the front desk, expecting a quick response. They did not come promptly, but my husband managed to fix it by resetting a fuse. When we called back, the receptionist mentioned that this was a common issue, and they would have done the same thing. The breakfast was nice but repetitive, and the coffee wasn't great, though there were fresh fruits and pastries available. The pool area was pleasant, though sometimes non-guests stayed there despite it being forbidden. The staff did their best to manage this by issuing bracelets to identify hotel guests. The pool and beach are free for hotel guests; otherwise, you need to pay between 20 to 25 euros, which you can use for orders from the beach bar. The staff can also reserve the best seats for you at the beach or pool. The pool is not very big, but it's clean. You can order good food from the beach bar or dine at their tavern near the pool. For 17 euros, you can have a buffet dinner at the hotel restaurant, though I recommend the tavern over the hotel dinner. You can also get beach towels with a 30-euro deposit, refunded upon checkout. The staff is great and always friendly. This hotel has great potential due to its lovely beach, but it could be much better with some room investment.
