Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms suitable for families but lacks luxury. The staff is accommodating and friendly; however, there were some issues with changes and refunds. The location is by the beach but may be affected by wind. The dining options are monotonous with limited variety. It has notable local decorations and palm trees, yet cats may roam around.
The hotel is literally on the beach, offering a nostalgic old-school vibe with a huge beach area, but there are some concerns about security and maintenance. The service was a mix of unprofessional behaviors and overcharging incidents. The location, while picturesque with local decorations and palm trees, could be affected by seaweed. The dining options were quite repetitive and cost-optimized. Overall, it's a place with charm but room for improvement.
Staying at this hotel was overall a pleasant experience. The rooms were hot throughout my stay but had a stunning sea view and direct beach access, although not suitable for a family of three anymore. The location was very nice, right on a beautiful white-sand beach and close to the poolbar, but with some cats roaming around the eating area. The dining options were monotonous with limited variety. The facilities were adequate, with some room for improvement.
