Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were amazing, very clean, and serviced each day. The staff was kind, caring, and hardworking. The location was great, about a 10-15 minute walk from the old town along the seafront, offering a peaceful setting yet still close to restaurants. The dining experience, unfortunately, did not meet expectations. The facilities were well-maintained, providing a pleasant atmosphere for guests.
I felt like I hit the jackpot with this hotel. The rooms were spacious, well decorated, and had a beautiful view of the sea. The staff went above and beyond to help, especially with our young son. The location was a dream, offering beachfront access and easy walks to local cafes. However, the dining experience fell short and left us craving more variety. Overall, a fantastic stay with just a few hiccups.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positive and negative experiences. The rooms were perfectly arranged and clean every day, offering plenty of space to relax, but I did find some hair in the bath tub. The location was beautiful and comfortable with great views, although there were issues with the staff's responsiveness at the beach area. The service was friendly, especially the bar staff who could guess our drinks, but I was disappointed with their lack of local information and the inability to provide a pot of tea. The dining experience was average with a standard offering that had good elements but didn't fully meet expectations. Overall, the hotel offers a comfortable stay with friendly service, but improvements are needed in some areas.
The hotel offers stunning seafront views and spacious rooms, although cleanliness could be improved. The staff, especially Naima at the reception, was exceptionally accommodating. The location is perfect for beach lovers, but the strong Atlantic wind can be a downside. Dining options are tasty but somewhat basic for a five-star hotel.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was spacious and came with fantastic amenities like a walk-in closet, extra pillows and blankets, and a cozy couch. The staff was incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure our comfort, even arranging for a doctor to visit the property swiftly. The location was perfect, just a short walk from the beach and the old town, offering a peaceful setting yet easy access to restaurants and attractions. The dining experience was satisfactory, and the facilities were well-maintained.
The hotel offers breathtaking ocean views and comfortable rooms but requires a bit of walking around. The service is exceptional, although there were some issues with communication. The location is peaceful and convenient, though not without hiccups. Dining options could be improved with more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor drawbacks.
