Nice Adult only hotel

The hotel is at the quieter end of the resort overlooking a beautiful wide sandy beach. We had a large clean bedroom with a big comfy bed and a good sized bathroom with powerful hot shower. Nice side sea view though the balcony is small in comparison to the bedroom but adequate. Tasty breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea and lots of choice. We would definitely visit again.

This hotel is in great location. Direct beach access via a stair way . Close to town but away from the noisy night life so great balance . We had an early check in offered to us which was kind . The interior of hotel has a unique design - it would be great in the winter months with a pretty interior fountain and seating . We had half board at a great price included in our package. The full price listing at 29 euros each was very expensive in my opinion and you could eat out locally for a lot less . The restaurant had a lovely view and outside seating. All the staff in this hotel were friendly and helpful. Very limited parking but we got free parking on the road in a walkable distance.

This was one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever stayed at and we’ve travelled extensively. The view is worth a million bucks. The interior of the hotel is gorgeous. The breakfast buffet is incredible. The food is delicious and the pianist who plays during breakfast is really, really good. Overall I would definitely recommend this beautiful hotel.

Nice stay.

The room was nice. Large, a sofa, twin beds pushed together. Nice bathroom, nice large balcony looking with great view of the beach and the ocean. The layout of the hotel was weird, not an easy flow. Large dining area with buffet breakfast and dinner and live music with a set play list.. We are not fond of buffets so the food was on par with our expectations. The staff was good but not exceptional.

Fabulous

From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome. The staff in this hotel are all so friendly and helpful. Our room was bright airy and spacious and also had a balcony. The bed and pillows were comfortable. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, and a pianist playing every morning. We enjoyed a few of the Theme nights and found the dishes very authentic. Architecturally, the hotel is stunning. It is in a quite area, has its own access to the beach and is close to bars and restaurants. All in all, we had a fabulous stay and hopefully we will return.

First class in every aspect. Staff were brilliant and the property is as described. Rooms were spacious and very comfortable. We would recommend the half-board option, simply because of the quality of the food and its price. There are plenty of food options elsewhere but you couldnt beat the quality and service. Highly recommended.
