Not a “resort”. It was an average hotel. Rooms were clean and bedding was very comfortable. The outdoor amenities were a mess. Grass was not kept up. Pool area was a far walk and no umbrellas / bar / music. Hot tub was broken. Over priced for this hotel. I give it a 4/10

The location is challenging to get to but the property with the 2 pools overlooking the water is worth the drive. Some updating is required especially in the hallways to the rooms. Rooms are updated and beautiful. We needed a light replaced and a slow water faucet to be fixed. The reception is very helpful and accommodating. Very knowledgeable about the island. Breakfast is a buffet and not worth it if you are expecting a North American standard.

Reception/service was very thorough, but facilities (a main draw) were closed for a private event. The other pool/jacuzzi was not functioning and there didn't seem to be any urgency to address/fix it. Doesn't live up to resort as the name suggests

Disappointing

We are disappointed with our stay. We rented a duplex with partial seaview. Upon our arrival, air con & phone did not work. Balcony sliding door cannot lock, the locker/safe was broken. Ventilation throughout the building is poor. We can smell breakfast bacon in the elevator and our 3rd floor hallway, even after lunch time. We found a cockroach on the first night. We did however, receive excellent service from Maria (front desk staff). She worked very hard to try & fix all the problems. Without Maria's help, we will not be able to complete our 4 nights stay at ANC. We cannot thank her enough. She is an asset to ANC.

Das Frühstück war jeden Tag sehr reichhaltig. Der Kaffee war eher durchschnittlich und der Kaffeeautomat streikte hin und wieder. Das Zimmer war gut ausgestattet! Leider war das gesamte Hotel sehr hellhörig. Knallende Türen leider zu oft, besonders bis spät in den Abend. Die Aussicht vom Balkon war atemberaubend.

Super freundliches Personal, aber das Meiste musste man mehrfach ansprechen. Die Zimmer sind toll, auch die Miniküche nutzbar, aber der Herd hat nicht genug Power um eine größere Menge Nudelwasser zum Kochen zu bringen. Die Anlage ist ganz schön, nur das Frühstück ist ausbaufähig. Der beworbene Whirlpool hat leider wenig Power, nur eine Funktion und kein Licht.

Struttura moderna e accogliente in buona posizione per visitare l'isola. Molto bella la zona piscina e la vista che si può godere dagli appartamenti vista mare e piscina in cui consiglio di alloggiare. Quelli al primo piano hanno un patio con accesso diretto in piscina, mentre al piano superiore sono più grandi e dotati di un bel terrazzo vista mare. Personalmente non consiglio le camere con vista giardino. Ottima colazione varia e di buona qualità. Ristorante interno all'albergo provato solo una volta a pranzo molto carino e valido. Staff cordiale e disponibile. Ci siamo trovati bene e mi sento di consigliare la struttura sia a chi vuole esplorare l'isola come noi, sia per chi preferisce rilassarsi in albergo. Parcheggio esterno presente (si può entrare nel condominio per scaricare i bagagli) ed aree comuni molto curate.
