Location is excellent (for my purpose). Foods were good. However, insufficient Parking Space for vehicles.

There was some confusion on initial check-in. I was asked to submit a CC for payment even though I had informed them that I had booked and paid through a travel website. Even after a manager was called, it took a few minutes to clear up the confusion. I was given the wrong type of room (reserved and paid for Twin Superior) but was provided a regular Twin. Called reception to complain and was then given the correct room type. Staff was very friendly and courteous. Hotel is clean. Free WiFi a bonus. Biggest complaint was the bathroom. Water pressure was relatively low and shower water temp choices were either hot or very hot. Toilet flush was weak. Food and beverages are quite pricey. Overall, hotel is over-priced. Nothing extraordinary about the hotel. Would stay there again because of location and staff. Outdoor terrace and poolside provide excellent sunset views.

Great Hotel for the location. Located on the sea with grounds, bars and pools that take advantage of the location. Rooms were modern and large and clean. Buffet breakfast was OK. Service and maintenance were slightly lacking (security lock broken off the room door, iron board with melted holes in it, no iron, 2 calls and 40 min to get an iron, long checkout process (20min). Location is pretty remote so not much nightlife or other restaurants located near by, and its a long trip (40min) from the airport.

Our second extended stay within a month. Looked forward to getting back to this Doubletree after our intervening travel. It felt like coming home.

Came for an overnight stay only (layover) but wished I'd have stayed longer. They upgraded me to a very wonderful room (No. 902) which was on top floor, had sea view and was massive. Although TV didn't fully work, they had a fantastic patio to watch the World Cup. And pool looked tremendously inviting. Also great setup with business center available 24 hours and also very good food at acceptable prices! Also look forward to the wonderful cookie @ reception!
