Hotel Astoria

Clean, modern, and elegant, but the staff did try to scam us out of 200 ron.

The hotel was very clean.

We were exhausted when we arrived after check-in time, and they flat-out refused to let us put the child down to sleep. There’s nowhere to wash off after the beach, even though guests are told not to bring sand into the room, and the beach next door is unsanitary. At the restaurant, buns on the menu turned out to be a slice of toast with sugar, and portions were small. There’s no guest kitchen to heat food. Beyond sleeping and eating, basic facilities are missing, like a service kitchen, games room, or children’s playground. You can see the lack of interest everywhere.

I was here for a work trip and stayed on the ground floor. The old hotel has been renovated, and the rooms are clean, with only the basic equipment you’d expect from a three-star place. Breakfast was poor, the dishes weren’t very tasty, and even the coffee was bad. You can book a room without breakfast, which is what I’d recommend.
