Annabelle

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we arrived at the hotel the staff were fantastic. We had a lovely room overlooking the Mediterranean and could not have asked for more. The hotel is clean and maintained very well. We dined in the Amorosa Restaurant on two evenings during our stay as the food was truly excellent. The waiters were very knowledgeable about the wine and the food and provided a unique experience to us both and very kindly introduced us to The Executive Chef Samuel who served to us one evening the most delicious Steak Tartate on Bone Marrow (my favourite dish). I highly recommend this restaurant for dinner if you like something a little different and enjoy different flavours - a real gem. Thank You Amorosa - We will be back!"

"The hotel is beachside and was renovated in 2026. You get everything you want from a beach hotel here. It was nice to have a walking path along the beach in both directions, right and left. The beach is mainly sandy. The hotel has a restaurant that provides buffet-style service all three times. The only thing is that it does not change the breakfast dishes, so you eat the same meal every day. Rooms are excellent. The air conditioner works only if you close the poerch/balcony doors. Staff is excellent. They speak English and Russian and perhaps many other languages. The hotel was crowded, indicating that it was an excellent and lovely facility. Tonya was outstanding at the Reception. Recommend!"

"We booked for a return visit because we had such a wonderful experience last time. This time was no different in regards to the staff , however we did have an issue with our room. The staff was incredible, we was moved to a temporary room over night when they became aware of the problem and the next morning we had a phone call from the manager who apologised profusely. We was then offered (which we very gratefully accepted) an upgraded room at their sister hotel - The Amavi Made For 2 their 5 star adult only hotel. We had pre booked a couple of facials in, which were not only incredible but very reasonably priced for the service. The issue we had would not stop us from booking with them again, I would again like to really thank the staff who helped us during our stay and the general manager who arranged for our transfer."
