The Lady who greeted us was so lovely we’d been travelling for hours and our room was ready so she let us in a little earlier than booked. The view from our room was mountains and ocean, couldn’t ask for more than that. The swimming pool was lovely as were our rooms. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable.

Amazing location and views to die for. Staff were exceptional. Lighting in room was insufficient, one main light and lights above bed very bright. Needed option for muted lighting, bedside lamps perhaps. I do also find it irritating when I book for three people and the room has not been set up to account for an extra person re: towels etc. shouldn’t have to request extras.

New hotel
New hotel with modern decor located on the beach with views from the upper floors. Unfortunately the downside to my stay was being allocated a room next to the lifts (noise) despite the hotel being almost empty (winter).

The location of the Sudima is great, amazing views of the water. Facilities beautiful, very clean and tidy. The staff there a fantastic, very friendly and accommodating. The only negative was the room has no windows that opened which for us felt a little claustrophobic, we asked the staff if there was anyway we could change to a different room and they could not be more helpful. Within minutes we had a room with a sliding door onto a balcony which was amazing with beautiful views across the water and a spectacular sunrise. Will 💯 stay again and definitely recommend to anybody
