The Hotel itself was beautiful. Our room was beautiful. The pools were beautiful. Unfortunately the staff I really didnt like the way my wife and I were treated. Repeatedly, I was asked what room I was in. At breakfast, walking in and out; it was exasperating and very distasteful. When we wanted to have a 2 family members over into our room for a little bit, they told us this was not allowed. Even before check out, we needed to keep our infant baby for ONE HOUR, and they told us we actually couldn't have our infant daughter in the room with us. Unbelievably ridiculous! Maybe, I may come back one day, but no time soon. Very disappointed. By the way- we own property literally across the street from the hotel. We only booked here for a while to enjoy ourselves and experience the hotel. We didnt need to book. Just for a nice time. Again, very disappointed.

We chose this property because of the swim up pool and that was very nice indeed. However we are accustomed of clorinated water and our pool was not also our pumps were also not working to circulate the water either. The property is beautiful though the rooms need to be updated. However, the most unfortunate part of our stay was the dining experience. While the servers are excellent and very attentive I was served undercooked chicken for lunch and my wife got food poisoning from breakfast (we think it was the bacon, that was the only thing I did not have and in retrospect it did not look very fresh). For both incidents we received a very friendly apology. We did not ask as it is not our custom but would recommend that the hotel offer a better response to such incidents, like some type of compensation.

Extremely Disappointed. Not worth the extra money.

They gave me a room with the dirtiest water I've ever seen. It was completely brown and the towels turned brown when drying my hands. When I complained, they told me they were aware of the issue so why was that room not removed from the system? The next room they gave me had no hot water in the morning. The beach is full of stray dogs and the staff kept giving them water so surely they'll not leave. They wanted to charge me €60 euros (!!!) for the airport transfer when the usual price is no more than €20 for a 25 mins drive. Also they charge for room service even though their restaurant takes ages to prepare the food. Housekeeping lacks attention to details too: no toilet paper and water and towels replaced irregularly. Given the price they charge for their rooms is extremely high as it's marketed as a high level resort, these things shouldn't happen. It's extremely disappointing. On the plus side, the room is clean. I will certainly not be back and pay the extra money for this disappointing service.
