Reviews and Ratings
The hotel seemed more up to date but felt a bit tired in reality. The rooms looked more luxurious than they were, so I felt like I might have overspent for what we got. The breakfast service was slow, and the overall ambiance could do with a little TLC due to poor lighting and lack of power points. On the positive side, the en-suite was great with modern facilities.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and aging facilities. The room had a large, super comfy bed and a sofa, but it definitely needed some updating and a deep clean. The service was friendly and welcoming, with Massimo going the extra mile. While the location had its charms, the nearby construction site was a downside. The dining experience left much to be desired. Overall, a decent stay but with room for improvement.

On the bright side, the service was exceptional, with attentive staff going the extra mile to assist guests. The location offered easy access to beautiful beaches and hiking trails, but the dining options left much to be desired with limited choices. Overall, the hotel is in need of a renovation to match its potential.
