"Great hotel, great location. All of the staff, reception, breakfast, restaurant, bar were very attentive and service was always with a cheerful smile! Beautiful room with a lovely view of the ocean."

"Clean, convenient hotel with helpful staff and good amenities. I made used the Spa, which I enjoyed and thought was well maintained (€25 fee for 90mins)."

"All good. Now using up to make 25 characters"

"Hotel clean and functional, but rather dated as other reviews mention. Plenty of secure parking available on site off-season. Pool area looked okay, but didn't take advantage. Breakfast not of great quality, and breakfast supervisor man rather hostile and peculiar, overly protective over his seating arrangements with multiple guests being relocated having sat at the "wrong table"."

"Booked this hotel with my brother to celebrate his engagement. Being a Marriott, we had solid expectations… which were quickly “adjusted.” First thing: they charge for everything. €10 just to get room service, and a note in the room basically warning that bringing in outside food could cost you up to €200. So yes, your Lidl sandwich might be a financial risk. We booked mainly for the pool (it’s the main photo). Got there in April, 24°C, ready to relax… only to be told it’s closed because it’s “not warm enough for the locals.” Apparently this happens a lot, the disclaimer is there, just buried at the bottom. Then the deposit: €50 per night, so €150 total. My brother got charged €400. Staff admitted it was a mistake, but the refund only came at the end of the stay, not ideal. Room phone was broken, but we did get a free upgrade after asking to move, which was probably the highlight. Other quirks: “free” gym you can’t use unless you’re a Delta member, and shared balconies where you can enjoy your drink alongside someone else’s TV. Breakfast was great. Dinner? €25 for a small pasta. Also odd for allergies: clear labeling at breakfast, but peanuts everywhere at dinner and €10 to remove ingredients. Overall: decent hotel trying to feel luxury, while charging you for breathing too enthusiastically. Would I stay again? Only if I skip the snacks, forget the pool, and watch my bank account closely."

"Room was not very nice, buffet was was ok but crazy, server was not very friendly, beach was nice. "

"Very nice beach at the hotel and very friendly and helpful staff. There is not much around, so either have a car or be prepared for limited dining options. Breakfast is not worth the cost. "

"The property was in a great location and it roughly takes 30 minutes to walk to the marina and around 15 minutes to the local restaurants (It’s 30 euros one way to the marina) The bathroom was very nice and modern, however, the bedroom was slightly dated and the mattress was not the most comfortable. Also the tv in the bedroom was not a smart tv and there were no English channels. If the bedrooms and TV were modernised I would stay here again. "
