Stunning views, weak on privacy and upkeep
Two nights as a solo traveller at a premium rate. The view is spectacular, the bathroom excellent, and I liked the free use of a bicycle and quad bike to reach the private beach. Breakfast is included; dinner is pricey at around 30 euros a head.
My main issue: staff entered my occupied room twice without permission. The first time the front desk knew I was inside, as I had just checked in. I had headphones on and did not hear the knock, but no answer is not permission. Nobody explained the do-not-disturb switch at check-in and it was not set when I arrived. I spent both days uneasy, unsure if someone would walk in while I showered or used the pool. They apologised within minutes and asked before entering afterwards.
Coordination was poor. Three different staff asked me separately about the same takeaway breakfast. The daily group activities never took place, and a tennis game I was personally offered was never arranged.
Upkeep lets the place down. The slope behind my private pool was overgrown with weeds, and a large yellow FALL HAZARD sign sits right in the view; I covered it with a towel. The cushion on the swing bed by the restaurant was badly torn.
Two stars. At this price the basics must work: explain the door switches, never enter an occupied room without a clear yes, deliver the activities you advertise, and keep the grounds tidy.
