I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On one hand, the rooms were spacious and clean with a lovely sea view, and the amenities like the pools were quite enjoyable. However, I faced issues with the service, particularly during my squash booking, which really put a dampener on my stay. Overall, it was comfortable but not without its flaws.

We had quite a mixed experience at the hotel. On the positive side, the spacious rooms were a highlight, and we were pleasantly surprised by our unexpected room upgrade. However, the incessant noise from the air conditioning and the lack of poolside amenities did dampen our stay. Additionally, the rude service we received at the pool bar really left a bitter taste. Overall, it was a decent place to stay but with notable areas for improvement.

I had a wonderful experience at this hotel, especially with the spectacular views from our corner apartment and the spacious layout that accommodated my family comfortably. The staff were genuinely friendly and offered great local dining recommendations. However, the indoor pool, while nice, felt smaller than expected, and I did find the kitchen area in need of a bit more space for cooking. Overall, it was a pleasant stay on a lovely island.

I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The location was fantastic, close to local restaurants and a bus stop, and I enjoyed the sea view from my apartment. However, the service could improve, especially regarding the towel situation and hidden fees for amenities. The facilities, while generally good, had some downsides with the pool access not consistently available. Overall, it was a decent stay, but there's definitely room for improvement.

Rooms

The apartment I initially got had a lack of windows that made it feel dark and musty. After moving to another room three days later, I was happier with a much more spacious apartment. However, some of the amenities, like the towels, could definitely be refreshed.
Service

The staff were generally pleasant and helpful with requests, but I faced issues regarding towel service that wasn't as frequent as I'd hoped. I also had to deal with some confusion around room servicing.

The hotel is perfectly situated near supermarkets, restaurants, and a bus stop, which made it easy to explore the area. I appreciated being away from the noisy parts of the resort, yet close enough to access them when desired.

My experience at this hotel was quite mixed. On one hand, the location is fantastic and the ocean view was stunning, making the stay enjoyable. However, the attitude of the receptionist was disappointing and left a sour note on my visit. The accommodations were decent, yet they could have improved their customer service to make guests feel more valued.
