  : Amazing sea view, with a nice pool and private beach. Perfect location, near the port and the bus station. Clean hotel.
  : Breakfast was correct but could be better, with fresh juices. An iron and boiler in the room would be great to have.

  : Recently done up, large comfortable room. Private beach and large pool both with comfortable loungers. Beautiful views, clean water to swim in in the bay. Parking on site. We got an end of season deal on the room rates.
  : Where to start with this hotel! It clearly has had a lot of investment in it in the last few years, at least in the physical infrastructure. However, it is yet to decide whether it is a luxury hotel or at least how to achieve this.Each example is relatively small however they are numerous and we will only list a few, although they may sound petty they would have really put us off had we paid peak season prices for the room.Breakfast was poor quality, served in a cramped space which resembled a rugby scrum, hot food was served on heated dishes, but the heat was not turned on on any day. Coffee was reminiscent of the drains and when we asked for a espresso from the bar area it was initially refused (although we paid for it).The beach was strewn with litter and the instagram worthy bean bags and sun loungers by the pool were all stained and well-loved. The pool we witnessed being cleaned, however it was frequently quite grubby and heavily chlorinated. The decking around the pool creaks comically loudly, even audible from the top floor of the hotel, representing the diligence with which it was laid.There were a vast number of beautifully situated tables and chairs around, but nearly all were dirty with either crumbs, yesterdays cocktail glasses or they lacked the cushions to enable you sit on the idyllic love seat.We were advised not to eat at the restaurant by the restaurant staff, citing their inability to provide any fresh food. (It was end of season, but we were told on multiple occasions that the hotel was full!)Receptionists were sparse, universally unhelpful, unavailable for check in or check out.The room was really lovely but certain things let it down. Although most of the furniture appeared new some had clearly been recycled: the table was so damaged it made us thing reminisce of stag and hen do rooms with the paint half peeled off. It wouldnt have taken much to rectify.

  : Our room with a balcony incl. 2 sunbeds was fabulous and we enjoyed the beautiful view over the sea. The bed was very comfortable. We stayed 6 nights and breakfast was ok. The sea was clean and very nice to swim in. We liked the fact that this hotel didn't play load music all the time. Nice pool with plenty of sunbeds.
  : Our room included a small refrigerator, but no water kettle, so we weren't able to make tea or coffee in our room. We asked for 2 room keys but were told they only had 1. The beach in front of the hotel had pepple stones which made it very difficult to get in and out of the sea, especially for all the older guests. The hotel should make it possible to use the ramp that was blocked off and add a hand rail. Recommend swim shoes for anyone wanting to use the beach here. We stayed at the end of the tourist season and this seemed to be an excuse for a lot of things. They only offered drinks at the bar (no snacks) and was told to buy them from the local supermarket. The hotel was built in 2015, so there are a few maintenance issues that should be addressed, like the creeking boards around the pool which echoed up to our room on the 4th floor.

  : Very beautiful building, although without name whatsoever. Maybe its size makes up for it . Long story short, the building is an architectural marvel, kudos to the architects. There is a fine balance between metal, wood, glass and vegetation all throughout the property. The reception girl on arrival was kind, although a bit overworked. The Spa is a very nice and necessary addition. The temperature in both the hammam and finish saunas are excellent. Good shower comsmetics. The only downside are the rather restrictive working hours, only from 16:00 till 21:00. Should be 22:00, at least.
  : - There are some members of staff who are rude and don't speak a word of English. They tarnish the image of the hotel. - The water in the swimming pool has some acid smell and sticky texture. No idea what it is, maybe some chemical. It is clean otherwise. - No long chair anywhere in the Spa - You won't find most of things you find in 4 star hotels such as bathrobe or toothbrush but that doesn't matter. - The breakfast was quite a disappointment. Very limited choice of everything. Pancakes not available every day. Not a SINGLE natural juice. There is no Nutella, but some cheap inedible local stuff. Staff eating in the same area after guests. Very early finishing time at 10:00. - The personnel at check-out was total chaos, a bit chubby girl. I wanted to extend my stay, shown my reservation. She insisted on changing me the room, to another room of the SAME type, cause there is some group coming . I don't understand, what is the difference if the rooms are exactly the same, except that i'm gonna spend 1 hour moving rooms? She had it written in the system which room goes where and she just wouldn't do otherwise, she was just mentally stuck. At the end i was really disgusted by her handling of the situation that i simply cancelled my reservation. That's 100 Euros less for the hotel due to her disorganization and inability to think clearly & improvise. - The card in the room is necessary for EVERYTHING to work. Even A/C plugs. Meaning, if you left your mobile/laptop to charge while you're on the beach, on the brekfast or on a walk - tough luck, it'll be as empty when you come back.

  : Views from room, size of room and comfortable. Gym and steam room great with sliding windows to bring in fresh cool air.Proximity to the beach and water front
  : Staff never around and a little rude at breakfast.Standard of breakfast poor and carnage when indoors as not sufficient space for all to be in one small dining area.Swimming pool looked good but chemical volume and smell was bad and probably why not many people used it including me a pool swimmer.Beach beds cleared away in the morning with no option to locate one which I found crazy as leave some out for guests.Appreciate it was coming to the end of the season but people still wanting to use hotel facilities and was told one evening I couldnt order food in restaurant or hotel room as too many people coming for dinner that evening!!!
