Reviews and Ratings
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were perfect for relaxing pre-dinner drinks on the veranda, and the bedrooms were super comfortable despite being a bit small. The service was top-notch, full of historical charm, and they even arranged a gluten-free breakfast for one of our group. The location was a mix of old glamour and convenience, close to key attractions and with free parking right down to the ocean. The dining experience was sumptuous and varied, offering a great start to the day with delicious coffee and pastries.
I had a wonderful time at the hotel. The rooms were nice, clean, and the air conditioning worked well, making it the perfect place to relax. However, the 'balcony' was poor. The service was accommodating and pleasant, although the property could use some maintenance. The location was good, away from the hustle and bustle, but a bit far from the center. The dining experience was really great with a variety of food options. The facilities were well-kept.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were a bit strange with uncomfortable chairs and huge tables, but they had a lovely balcony to enjoy. The service was a bit rude regarding a bottle of water, but overall helpful and the facilities were comfortable. The location was a bit out of the way for walking, but the atmosphere was exotic. The dining experience was poor with limited options, and the hotel seemed a bit generic despite fresh products.
The hotel had modern and smart rooms with a balcony overlooking the Mediterranean and the old town. However, the view was awful, and I had to ask multiple times for basic amenities like ice, tissues, and soap.
I felt like I was in a movie when I entered the room with the perfect temperature thanks to the automatic air conditioning. The sea view overlooking the gardens and ancient quarry was breathtaking, and the room was spacious with a hydro bath offering a nice view. The hotel is a gem, but the limited dinner menu may not suit everyone's taste.
