Very good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
Renovated rooms are nice-they have a lot of events there so loud music till midnight-really nice pool area and bar-they have loungers on the cliffs but you have to pay extra to use them. Good breakfast-Would stay there again.
The hotel is unsurpassed for views and amenities, but if you want to dine or shop anywhere else without a car, forget it. We loved our short stay here, but it’s not in a very convenient position.
The hotel stands at a very prominent location overlooking the sea. It is a big hotel but spread out. The pool is probably one of the best I've been in and the staff very attentive around the pool and pool bar.
All the staff were very friendly and helpful throughout the hotel.
We fund the breakfast was disappointing, more because of the quality of the food rather than quantity. It's worth getting a room overlooking the sea, I wouldn't like to be facing inland or on the ground floor.
A very nice hotel with excellent service. A beautiful pool and private access to the sea!!
The hotel is slowly showing its age and could use some TLC. The access to the rooms with electronic key is terrible. You must try 5 to 10 minutes sometimes just to access the room. Also the rooms and hallways are quite noisy. It is very easy to hear all conversations in neighboring rooms.
In spite of the minor issues, a wonderful hotel that I would highly recommend!!!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
The hotel has a very nice location in front of the sea with access to the water what is a great aspect. The room is spacious but not well maintained and no renovation was made. The amenities are very few compared to a 4 stars hotel and it doesn’t offers an iron if you need or any other option. The breakfast by the sea is nice feeling but the food selection is poor. The bar was a nice highlight. It opens until late and with nice selections of cocktails and snacks.
The property was wonderful and easy to get to.
My only complaint was we had dinner at the restaurant and felt we were snubbed as we did not take all 4 courses. The wait staff became dismissive with us and did not offer great service or experience.
The staff was super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent and plentiful. Our room was spacious and the view was great. We would stay here again!
Great hotel with lovely rooms and friendly staff. Easy access into sea via steps with lifeguard present for safety. Large 28m pool with good depth and very clean was also great for swimming. Pool bar had a huge range of cocktails and complimentary snacks were a great idea. Room large, very well presented and clean. Breakfast was generous and had something for everyone. Parking was a little difficult. Limited space, very tight access from top level. Took some getting used too. Hotel was very good value and we would stay again.
Staff made our trip wonderful, shout out to Valerio. Matteo and Alexandro. and Antonino., Keep up the good work.

Great times
It was an amazing property. Very clean and mostly comfortable. Only suggestions is to fix the air conditioner and maybe a more modern couch.
You staff was incredibly
Helpful
The room was very clean and comfortable, and the hotel is beautiful but very much like a maze to get from the room to other locations. Breakfast was nice, pool and outdoor areas had excellent views. There are very few dining options within walking distance, and was not impressed with the onsite restaurant. You have to get transportation to go anywhere which is expensive, but the trade off is that the hotel is quiet and out of the crowded areas. Staff was helpful and friendly.
Pros
Location, staff (specially Margarita serving breakfast), cleanliness of the hotel rooms
Cons
Hotel is very tired and in desperate need of renovation. Although the shower was clean, the mould in the tube made me feel uncomfortable. The rooms can use a few things such as a place for me to use my own hairdryer, apply makeup and box of tissues. Bathrobe wouldve been fab.
One of the biggest disappointment is not having coffee/tea making ability in the room.
All facilities including the pool, sauna ... We're closed. Due to lack of carpeting, I was able to hear people in the corridor and the cleaners outside of my door in the morning.
