Pour un trois étoiles et pour le prix payé. Il serait impensable d’exiger plus. La vue de la chambre était exceptionnelle, l’emplacement de la salle du petit déjeuner était avec vue sur la mer et la bouffe était très bien et variées. Le service au front desk ainsi qu’au chambres était vraiment bien.

Huge cockroach and droppings in the shower, front desk sent a custodian to kill it but didn’t offer a change of room or cleaning of shower. Very different experience than when I was there 2 years ago. Building and rooms are old and dingy, mold in bathrooms, etc. But they offer a nice buffet breakfast.

Make sure you book the right hotel, it was advertised as on the beach but when we arrived, to the hotel on the beach unknown to me and my daughter, the staff at the reception told us it’s not that hotel but there sister hotel up on the hill about a minute walking distance. That’s when our nightmare began. The room was like a dungeon, it had an awful smell and we found silver fish crawling around the bathroom floor. We asked to be moved and was told no rooms were available in the beach one but would be moved to the same type of room on the 1st floor. Same disgusting smell. The male staff was so rude huffing and puffing when i told him this was unacceptable and false advertisement. I asked for a manager and was told I’d have to wait until tomorrow to possibly move hotels. I looked online and saw that they had 3 rooms available after being told no availability as they didn’t want to upgrade me to a sea view room. I ended up paying to upgrade as it was disgusting having to spend one night let alone 3. It was a much better room but the hassle and false advertising they agreed with in the end is not exceptable.
