Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms with a beautiful backdrop of the Med offered spacious accommodations with amazing views and the perfect position for a gorgeous sunset every night without fail. However, the layout may not be suitable for families with young children due to safety concerns with having the child sleep on an upper floor with many stairs.
The hotel had spacious rooms equipped with everything needed, but cleanliness was lacking and the lack of sunlight was a downside for me. The service was friendly, but didn't fully capture the holiday vibe. The location was wonderful with comfortable sunbeds and great views, and the dining experience was of a very high standard. Overall, the hotel provided a mix of positives and negatives worth considering.
The hotel offers beautifully decorated and modern rooms that are even better than in the pictures, impeccably clean, but the upper floor setup may not be ideal for families with children due to safety concerns. The service is exceptionally friendly and attentive, always ready to improve. The location is outstanding for those seeking exclusivity and privacy, but the area around Stalis Beach may not be the most pleasant. Dining is a top-notch experience with a wide variety of high-quality food options. The facilities are well-maintained and offer a great range of services.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with shadowed private pools and beautiful styling. There are lovely little touches on arrival, and the rooms are cleaned every day, enhancing the stay. However, the area around Stalis Beach is not the nicest. The service is kind and professional, making the experience pleasant, while the dining options are rich and diversified. The location, despite the surrounding area, is beautiful in every way. The facilities are well managed and offer plenty of variety.
The hotel rooms are very nice and super clean, with a downside of not having a sea-side view and being not suitable for children due to safety concerns with stairs. The service was a mix of rude behavior when providing feedback and great, friendly assistance. The location offers wonderful views of the beach and town, though some improvements in customer service are needed. The dining experience is fantastic with plenty of high-quality options available. The facilities are top-notch, providing a great overall experience.
