Séjour super les chambres sont très confortables et modernes ! Hôtel proche des commodités ainsi que d’un arrêt de bus. Le bar propose d’excellents cocktails et le restaurant offre une nourriture variée et de qualité. Juste dommage, la plage à cette période de l’année n’est pas très belle à cause des algues.

Struttura decadente, cibo terribile, però gentili

Appena si arriva si è ben colpiti dall'ingresso pulito e curato. Buona accoglienza e check-in. Camera con bagno terribile e desueto. La prima sera, purtroppo, abbiamo mangiato lì. Veramente terribile la qualità e la varietà. Purtroppo la stessa cosa al mattino: abbiamo preferito fare colazione fuori. Struttura che avrebbe delle buone potenzialità, ma andrebbe ristrutturata in toto.

Viihtyisä ja persoonallinen

Hyvin hoidettuun putarhaan sijoitettu kahdeksan taloa, joissa kaikissa oma rauha ja näkymä merelle. Huoneet sekä terassit tilavia ja persoonallisesti sisutettuja. Säilytystilaa oli ruhtinaallisesti. Erittäin siistiä niin kuin koko saarikin. Ruokapaikkojen vähäisyys hieman harmitti.

Resort molto confortevole. Ottimo il cibo.

l'hotel è dotato di ogni comfort con camere spaziose e molto bene arredate. L'ambiente e l'atmosfera complessiva è molto piacevole. Staff disponibile e gentile. La nota più positiva è l'eccellente cucina, variegata e di ottima qualità. L 'unica nota negativa è la spiaggia, pressoché impraticabile soprattutto per le alghe. Tuttavia, se si dispone di mezzo di trasporto per visitare l'isola, è una struttura davvero consigliabile

Graziosa struttura tra le palme sul mare

Splendida settimana con staff gentile e attento, camere grandi, accoglienti e pulite, spazi comuni ben tenuti. La cucina per lo più internazionale di buon livello e curata anche nella presentazione. Ottimo il sevizio navetta gratuito, per noi inaspettato, che tutti i giorni traghetta gli ospiti dell'hotel nelle spiagge più belle. Vacanza da ripetere per la bellezza dei luoghi e la qualità del soggiorno.

Ein Take Away mit angeschlossenem Resaurant in ca. 15 Min Entfernung. Meer bzw, Stand ist sehr schön und man ist fast alleine aber zum Baden leider zu seicht.

Be aware of high humidity and mold in the rooms

The hotel was most likely very nice a few years ago, but now not maintained as desired. Our room smelled really bad of mold and the humidity in the room was very high, which gave us a pretty bad experience with the hotel. When informing hotel management about this, the response/support was more or less non-existing. In addition, the pool area can be better maintained - has a good potential. Sun beds and mattresses are very worn. Food is pretty good and the drinks tasteful at the bar, especially the fruit drinks in the evening. Fresh fruit not available during day time - negative! Only buffet food in the evenings and not possible to order from a la carte menu - negative. So, overall experience: not very good, but the potential is high to do something really good.
