The pool is great, and the rooms are okay, with the beach nearby. Service feels a bit restrictive: air conditioning costs extra, and you have to make a special request to have towels and toilet paper changed.

The shower had no enclosure and drained badly, so I had to use the floor towel to stop water spreading across the bathroom. Even taking a shower comfortably was a problem. The first night I arrived at 1:00 AM, but was charged the full amount. Before the trip, I messaged the hotel on Booking.com to ask if I could check out a little later because my return flight was late. They never replied. Even a polite offer to store my luggage or try to help would've been appropriate. Their silence should have told me what kind of treatment to expect, but I stayed positive and tried to give them the benefit of the doubt right until the end. During the stay, staff repeatedly made me feel watched and uncomfortable, even though I only used the hotel to sleep and didn't go to the pool or have breakfast. They confronted me several times, including at around 10 or 11 PM when I was simply walking back to my room. It felt deliberately provocative and deeply inappropriate, at times verging on hostility or even discrimination. One evening they stopped me to ask why there hadn't been a head towel in my room. I explained that I'd left that morning with wet hair. On day two, I asked for a mini shampoo because they'd only supplied one small bottle on day one. I was told I wasn't entitled to one until housekeeping came on day three. They eventually gave me one, reluctantly, only after I insisted and explained how unreasonable that seemed. It felt like they were doing me a personal favor. When I asked for toilet paper after the roll I'd been given got wet, I was told they couldn't provide it outside cleaning hours. The next day, only half a roll was left. One staff member said, “There are rules in this country,” which felt unnecessary and possibly discriminatory.

I've travelled since I was 17 and have never had a hotel experience this unsettling. This was by far the worst and most uncomfortable stay I've had. I don't recommend it. The treatment felt unpleasant, inappropriate and controlling. Staff came up to me late at night, around 10 or 11 PM, as I was returning to my room, seemingly to provoke a confrontation. It felt deeply inappropriate, and possibly connected to racism or a disturbed mindset. Behind reception there was an interesting photo, and the atmosphere felt like a bizarre mix of a Nazi camp and a retirement home. I've never experienced anything like it.

The room had been renovated and had nice furniture, and the sea is very close. It's a nice, quiet hotel, with a great pool in the garden behind it. The staff were nice and neutral. Breakfast is simple but enough. My only complaint is that the glasses could be made of glass instead of plastic.
