I would give this hotel a mixed review. Lots of great things overall though: good food and drinks, beautiful interior and grounds, love the easy access to beach and the yard with beach chairs, wonderful salon and spa. Our room was so disappointing though. The hotel has a very luxurious feel, but it’s an instant let down when you enter your room. The mattress was so hard and uncomfortable, old flat pillows, only instant coffee, no face cloths. It just felt like a very basic and cheap hotel room.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
The double room we reserved and pre-paid, had garden access, but smelt of damp/mould/mildew with an acrid cleaning chemical odor note Accepted another room, even though it was at a lower tarrif and had a sewage smell in the bathroom, the Manager demanded we sign a NDA document, and never offered to compensate in any way Despite staying almost a week and paying for a second room (occupied by family members), the Manager treated us with distain, and avoided us on check-out. One doesn’t need this arrogant attitude and rude approach when paying good money for a below-average Hotel

Nice Adult only hotel

The hotel is at the quieter end of the resort overlooking a beautiful wide sandy beach. We had a large clean bedroom with a big comfy bed and a good sized bathroom with powerful hot shower. Nice side sea view though the balcony is small in comparison to the bedroom but adequate. Tasty breakfast in the dining room overlooking the sea and lots of choice. We would definitely visit again.

Great adults only hotel overlooking the ocean

Really enjoyed our 10 night stay at the Oriental. The hotel enjoys an enviable position above the pristine beach with plenty of tables, chairs and loungers. There is an intetesting all day menu available & an extensive evening buffet. What stood out most though were the staff. Always smiling, helpful & ready to serve. We will definitely return.

Had a fantastic vacation in a beautiful and well-maintained hotel with a great location, just outside the hustle and bustle but close to the nightlife. The staff was very friendly, and the service was excellent, even during a power outage. Plenty of relaxation options available at the beach, in the spacious garden, and by the pool. The breakfast was extensive with various options, including those for special diets, and the buffet dinner offered ample choice, including vegetarian dishes. Despite the high rating (9.5), there were a few minor drawbacks. The bathroom showed some imperfections such as cracked tiles, poorly applied sealant edges, and discoloration of the grout. The lunch was also considered pricey and of lower quality (hard bread), as was the expensive and not very tasty coffee outside of breakfast. Summary: Fantastic vacation in a beautiful, well-maintained hotel. Great location, peaceful yet close to nightlife. Very friendly and helpful staff with excellent service. Plenty of relaxation options (beach, garden, pool). Extensive breakfast and good buffet dinner with many choices. Positives: Service, friendliness, hotel appearance, location, buffet selection, relaxation options, general hygiene. Negatives: Bathroom imperfections (cracked tiles, poor sealant, discoloration), disappointing and expensive lunch, expensive and not tasty coffee. Tips: Use the Bolt app for parking, try the homemade iced tea, visit the local restaurant La Bruschetta (cash only)
