My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room I had overlooked the front road, making it noisy at night with constant car passing sounds. Although not as luxurious as other rooms, it did have a useful kitchenette. However, it felt cramped compared to the room I was expecting.

The hotel offers a stunning sea view and is perfect for early morning walks along the beach front. The rooms, while spacious, overlook a busy road leading to noise disturbances during the night. The service is friendly and attentive, although there was a lack of assistance with luggage. The dining experience was enjoyable with friendly staff but limited breakfast options. The facilities are modern, but some aspects are worn-out.

My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing. The room was impeccable, one of the best I've ever experienced worldwide. While the exterior didn't look inviting, it offered a basic place to clean up and sleep in a generally upscale facility. The service was fantastic, with friendly and helpful staff despite some minor issues. The location was perfect for attending a wedding nearby, very peaceful, secure, and convenient. The dining experience was really nice with interesting options, but service took a bit too long. Overall, a great value for money stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of great location and some drawbacks. The rooms were not as luxurious as expected, and the noise from the front road was bothersome, but the downstairs room lacked the charm of the upstairs one. However, the service was excellent, with beautiful and professional staff eager to assist. The location was perfect for a holiday, offering a peaceful and secure environment with a breathtaking sea view. I had an enjoyable dining experience with mouth-watering dishes. Despite some room issues, the facilities were satisfying.

The hotel rooms were spectacular, with amazing food and a central location, although a bit noisy at times. However, the initial room had a bad mold smell, but the staff promptly addressed the issue and moved us to a better one. While lacking face cloths and slippers, given the luxury status, overall our stay was delightful.
