Stayed for 4 days very beautiful place to stay, fresh air and friendly staff. Fresh towels everyday. Gym room was good. Pool was nice too. Only gave 4 stars due to noise from other tourists in the hotel, too noisy late at night, when trying to rest. I would stay here again, thankyou.

The dinner, views and staff were all amazing. Property is showing its age but i have read in other reviews that the managers have a scheduling of works to assist. Well worth supporing through this. Super quiet and peacful!!
Beth, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Most unhygienic and dirtiest place
An honest review with photos for proof! This place should be shut down as it is so unhygienic. They portray it as “4-star” resort and we had “deluxe” room which according to the receptionist was their best room. But it was a nightmare. Extremely dirty, mould on carpet, curtains and walls. Uncleaned bathroom drawers with hair and stuff! And worst of all a terrible smell from kitchen exhaust which came right through the gaps in the door. We complained but the receptionist said he is fully aware of the problem but nothing much can be done and he said it is what it is!!! We had fully paid accommodation for 3 nights but we checked out after 1 painful night. We have reached out to manager and even general manager but no response yet! It is unbelievable that this place has such a high rating on hotels.com. Feels like a scam.
Catarina, 3-night trip
