Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that provide a good place to enjoy a weekend break, although they lack privacy. The staff are very friendly and cater to every need, making the stay more convenient. The location is ideal for team building activities near Dreamland Aqua park but lacks sufficient lighting. The dining options are average with limited choices, considering the room rates.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, tidy, and clean, with a lovely large terrace offering views of the pool and the sea. However, the service was inconsistent, ranging from kind and polite to not very helpful and sometimes even rude. The location was nice for outdoor activities but needed better upkeep. The dining experience was average, lacking variety in food options. Despite some areas needing improvement, the facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel was quite spacious and comfortable, though not extremely clean. The service could be more helpful and sometimes rude, but they religiously did their job. The location, while good for relaxation near the sea, could do with a few upgrades and lacks furniture and tidiness. The dining experience had its ups and downs but was almost like having a buffet on your table. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were not convenient as they were cold, but on the bright side, they were also very comfortable and excellently neat and clean. The service I received, especially from the restaurant I ordered food from, left me with no regrets for choosing this hotel. The staff was so cooperative in meeting my needs. The location was nice, allowing for some outdoor activities around the resort, but it could get noisy during Friday post breakfast. The dining experience was a letdown with very limited options, lacking freshness, and an unwelcoming attitude from the staff. On a positive note, the facilities were decent for a pleasant stay.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and well-furnished with a beautiful balcony overlooking the sea, but unfortunately, the pool was not clean. The service was very friendly and accommodating, although it was not very helpful at times. The location was good for relaxation and offered a nice BBQ spot by the beach, but some upgrades could enhance the overall experience. The dining could have more variety, but the fresh salmon was a standout. The facilities were adequate but could be improved.
