Poor stay

Our shower leaked all over the bathroom floor. We reported it to the reception and they said they would look at it. They didn’t. Every time we had a shower it was a falls risk. There was dust on skirting boards. One of the receptionists was playing video games and seemed more interested in that.

Having specifically booked a sea view room, we were given a tree view room with a glimpse of the sea (partial sea view rooms were available when booking but I chose the full sea view). Hotel said they were sorry but couldn’t accommodate our sea view booking as they were fully booked. Amenities in room: shower flooded bathroom floor every time, bedside lamp was broken (reported when immediately but not fixed during 5 night stay). Staff were very pleasant and professional however. Overall disappointing that we didn’t receive the room we booked.

NO balcony when booking sea view!!!

We were a couple on a romantic trip, paying extra for sea view when booking the room, and then we get ........a WINDOW? For us, sea view would always include a balcony - even just a small one, but not at window!! We asked to change, but no other option than on the 1st floor with no sea-view because of the trees. e ended up checking out the same day and found another lovely hotel.
