Lovely welcome and all staff friendly. Very clean but tap in bathroom being eco friendly very annoying! Unfortunately our stay was spoilt by an outside event taking place next door to our room that kept us awake until after midnight. They did offer a massage the following day but the damage had been done otherwise it was a lovely place to stay.

This is a truly special property. Fantastic service, beautiful accommodations and a 3 minutes walk(downhill) to the beach. My only concern is that I booked and paid for a superior suite and was given a smaller room than I paid for. The room was enough space so I didn’t complain but I would have preferred to be informed and compensated for the smaller room.

A Great Experience

The hotel itself is beautiful, well-maintained and spotlessly clean. There is a sense of space and lots of little areas you can take yourself off to for a little bit of privacy. Everyone who works at the hotel is friendly and authentic and without a doubt it is the Team at the Irida which made our stay that extra little bit specials. Always welcoming, willing to help and professional. We loved our stay.

Great value & setting, stylish with lovely staff

We really enjoyed staying here, two of us in a more roomy apartment. The refit of the place is very chic but it retains the warm of a family run business The communal areas are very well cared for and the pool / sun lounges perfect for lazing around. Good chill out music and lovely views make for a relaxing spot and a short walk in the evenings to all the restaurants along the beach Wifi is good in the communal areas but did not work well for us in the room but with new European rules on roaming it wasn't a problem Do bring basics like washing up liquid cloths and tea towels if you plan to eat in as there is really nothing provided. Cutlery crockery and glass is limited to the bare minimum. Very much enjoyed our stay, very few Brits lots of Dutch and Russians staying and all nice people.
