In brief
What works, what to weigh
+
Strengths
4 reasons to book- Outstanding staff service — Guests repeatedly praise the helpfulness, friendliness, and attentiveness of the team, from the receptionist who remembered names to those who arranged a private breakfast.
- Sea views from many rooms — Deluxe Twin, Triple, and Executive Suite rooms offer sea views, and several reviews call the seascape from balconies 'amazing' and 'the highlight'.
- Clean and relaxing pool area — The seasonal outdoor pool overlooks the water, with sun loungers and a sun terrace. Reviews note it as clean and perfect for relaxation.
- Fresh, varied breakfast — The buffet breakfast is described as having a huge variety of fresh and tasty options, with staff willing to cater to individual needs.
–
Worth weighing
4 to weigh- Mixed value for money — While the value rating is decent at 8.3/10, some guests who paid more felt the room quality or experience didn't fully match the price, with one review rating the stay just 7/10.
- Some rooms lack full sea views — Double Rooms come with partial views only, so if a full seascape is important, you'll need to book a higher category.
- No dedicated parking — The hotel doesn't list private parking, and while one guest found nearby parking, it's not guaranteed on-site.
- Distance to key sights — The Monastery of 40 Saints is a 25-minute walk away — fine for some, but not a quick stroll.
