Reviews
The basic rooms are extremely tiny. There is not enough room to open 2 suitcases in the room. Considering that they are charging 700+ euro+/night during high season, this is not acceptable.
The walls are also super thin and you can hear everything going on in the hallways and the adjacent rooms.
We wanted a toothpaste and the ones they gave us had expired in 2021!
There is a huge hill/stairs at the hotel entrance and no shuttle whatsoever. A small golf cart would've made everyone happier, but again customer service is not really their top of mind here.
Breakfast: The options are very limited and taste bad. The smoked salmon was black and about to go bad. Some of the tomatoes had already gone bad!
I am thinking that with the Google reviews and the 5 stars, this hotel ran a very good marketing campaign to achieve its status but it certainly does not live up to it.
We were very unhappy - definitely stay away from this property.
Upon arrival we had realized that the next 5 coming nights wouldn’t be as described by the hotel.
The premises were completely outdated, it felt like timetravelling back to the 1970’s;
The smell, the furniture, the old dirty dusty carpets full of stains, the decoration, the TV and most importantly the bathrooms (shower inclusive stains of mold) and the outdoor pool/beach area that needs a serious maintenance and makeover.
Charging people around 1000€ per night for a deluxe double room during high season and marketing an illusion of a 5 star palace hotel is just inappropriate.
On another note, the staff is really helpful and tries everything to make the guest’s stay as pleasant as possible.
Overall the hotel could have much more potential if the management would reconsider their current mentality and reinvest to catch up in time and hygiene.
We would certainly not recommend to visit this place.
The old town is a walking distance of around 5-10 minutes depending on your pace, and you just need to walk down the steps and on return it’s a few steps uphill .
Great people great service . Thank you .
