We did NOT stay here as it was disgusting. There was no toilet seat in the ladies toilet. The pool was green & you definitely wouldn’t have risked going in it. There was 1 member of staff serving drink but the owner/receptionist wasn’t even available. In talking to other guests (bless them! They were stuck there for a week!) there was no hot foot available & it’s a very long walk back up (very very steep!!) into town for food. Until the owner is prepared to spend some time/money on this property I would avoid like the plague. The whole road leading to the hotel was under construction also that we hadn’t been warned about so had to abandon our car and drag our cases along an unmade road. The list goes on…. I am just glad we were only booked in for 1 night as they wouldn’t cancel our booking either.

Good family friendly hotel
Very peaceful hotel on the beach. Family friendly hotel, good swimming pool. Recommended.
Déception à tous les étages. Nous en voulons à Hôtel.com de ne pas vérifier l’état sanitaire des hôtels de son catalogue.
Une décoration pré an 2000, un wifi déficient, une climatisation qui ne fonctionne pas…etc…
Seuls points positif : la situation de l'hôtel ''les pieds dans l'eau'' et les services rendus par la jeune fille de l'accueil qui d'ailleurs parlait.
Points négatifs : la chambre (n°240) pas digne d'un 4 étoile, très petite et sans confort, sans aucune insonorisation, mobilier désuet, matelas sans âge, drap et intérieur des placards mal odorant. Le système d'évacuation d'eau du lavabo de la salle de bain était cassé et celui de la douche était bouché. Pas d'eau chaude à la douche et 2 ampoules Hs lors de notre arrivée (ces 2 points ont été réglés dès le lendemain).
- le petit déjeuner est médiocre (pas de pain seulement des toasts froids), jambon de pietre qualite et impossible d'obtenir du lait chaud car la machine ne fonctionnait apparemment pas (à croire qu'il n'y avait pas de micro ondes en cuisine...). La dame s'occupant du petit déjeuner était mal aimable et sans aucun sourire.
- l'ensemble de l'établissement n'est pas du tout entretenu (joint de piscine sale, moisissures noires apparentes, contour de piscine en plastique pour évacuation de l'eau cassé à de nombreux endroits, aucun coup de balai passé sur la terrasse,...)
Nous avons réservé environ 80 nuitées sur hôtel.com ces dernières années et c'est la 1ere fois que nous sommes déçus, d'autant plus pour un hôtel qui se dit 4 étoiles mais qui n'en vaut pas plus que 1,5 voire 2 !!!!
Cerise sur le gâteau, à notre départ, on me demande si je paie en carte bleu alors que tout avait été réglé lors de la réservation...
Dålig information om allt, vi fick gå med altl bagage 230 meter p.g.a. vägarbete. När vi kom till receptionen och skulle checka in så fick vi en kortnyckel utan den lilla pappersfickan där man normalt skriver in rumsnummer, tur att man inte har alzheimers sjukdom. Väl till rummet så fick vi inte havsutsikt som vi hade bokat, tillbaka till receptionen och få ett rum med havsutsikt. Väl inne så finns det glasdörrar med fantastik utsikt, det tråkiga att dessa var låsta med en gammal skruv som var extremt svår att sätta tillbaka . Vi frågade när restaurangen hade öppet, det blev tre olika svar och det sista var att den var stängd för kvällen. Hela Hotellet var extrem eftersatt vilket är tokigt då läget vid havet är magiskt. På deras hemsida ska det var ett 4 stjärniga hotell men tyvärr inte värt mer än två stjärnor. Läget däremot är femstjärnigt.
- due to road work no access to hotel by car
but got help from stuff
- receptionist looked to be drunken
- hotel very close to train tracks with all the noice
- pool was green and filthy
- rooms are not better than the pool but had nice view from balcony
- stinky bathroom (sewage) and room was flooded in insecticides (got headache)
- hard and crunchy bed
- everything tired old and filthy
- very high room rate for this! We booked and payed two days but left after one night. This place is just disgusting and a scam!
- dangerous access to the stone beach (not suitable for a swim)
esperienza da non ripetere, nessuna sorveglianza notturna e nessuno da chiamare in caso di emergenza (il numero era staccato). Per un mancato funzionamento della chiave elettronica siamo stati costretti a passare la notte in auto. Unica cosa positiva la presenza del receptionist, cordiale e paziente nonostante l’accaduto
La struttura è molto bella, peccato perché necessità di diversi lavoro di manutenzione, partendo dai bagni delle camere, le sdraio, gli ombrelloni. Mancherebbe poco per renderlo veramente eccellente.
Ma nel complesso è molto bello
