Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a superb location, just a stone's throw away from the sandy beaches and ideal for enjoying the beautiful cliff walk. The rooms were incredibly old-fashioned but quiet, and the jacuzzi was fabulous with a big mirror with lights. The service was very accommodating and friendly, although they missed ensuring sleep comfort for their guests. The dining experience was good but sometimes felt rushed. The hotel facilities, such as the steam room, jacuzzi, and sauna pool, were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were spacious and clean, but a bit noisy. The service was excellent and the staff were friendly. The location was convenient, near the beach, but some aspects were not as expected. The dining experience was enjoyable with good food. The facilities were adequate but not exceptional.
The hotel room I stayed in for two days on the first floor was a bit run down and didn't seem like a good value for money. The setup with a corridor, a double room at one end, bunk beds at the other, and a bathroom in between was not ideal for sharing with friends, as it felt cramped. Despite that, it was clean and tidy; I might consider returning next year.
