Perfect place, just some concerns

We had a great time in this hotel, we used the jacuzzi and took advantage of the beach access. the only thing is the security of the hotel- in the middle of the night we heard someone trying to come inside our room- i know this is out of the hotels control but maybe add some fences or gates to the rooms or a guard

Pessima esperienza! Attenzione!!!!

Spero proprio che la mia recensione possa aiutare altri turisti ad evitare la delusione totale che abbiamo vissuto noi. Abbiamo optato per questa struttura per la descrizione e le foto illusorie postate da loro immaginando di trovarci in una camera sul mare con privacy per un soggiorno romantico. Per questo abbiamo deciso di pagare una quota pari ad un 5 stelle per trovarci in un incubo!!!! Le camere hanno vista palazzi e la jacuzzi esterna è di fronte al ristorante non permettendo un minimo di intimità. Essendo arrivati molto tardi ci siamo fermati la prima notte, non abbiamo chiuso occhio per la scomodità del letto… Il lavandino otturato, la iacuzzi era sporca, pochissimo spazio per le valige e i panni, non c’è la possibilità di un caffè la mattina in camera non hanno il bollitore e il bar di fronte apre tardi, neanche un portaspazzolini, insomma un incubo. Abbiamo chiesto di poter pagare per la notte e lasciare la camera ma ci è stato negato, hanno preteso L’ intero saldo fregandomene delle problematiche riportate. La struttura vale al massimo 50 euro a notte, altro che luxury… meglio in campeggio!!!
Ecco la vera visuale che offrono le camere con jacuzzi !!!

Ενα καταλυμα για το απολυτο λιωσιμο.

Απο τα λιγα καταλυματα που βρηκαμε που να προσφερει αυτην την ιδιωτικοτητα πανω στην παραλια. Ωραια ανακαινισμενα δωματια. Για ενα ζευγαρι ειναι πολυ καλη επιλογη, μιας και προσφερει τους χωρους που χρειαζεται, με το τζακουζι, την πισινα μπροστα (αν και μικρη δεν νομιζω οτι χρειαζεσαι κ κατι παραπανω) και εννοειται τη θαλασσα μπροστα. Στα αρνητικα της υποθεσης, ειναι οτι η θαλασσα ακριβως μπροστα δεν ειναι ευκολα προσβασιμη, μιας και εχει μεγαλες πλακες κλπ οποτε αναγκαζεσαι να μπεις απο λιγο πιο δεξια ή αριστερα και να περπατησεις πχ 100 μετρα (ενταξει δεν εγινε και κατι απλα περιμενεις οτι δεν θα χρειαζοταν αυτο), καθως και βγαζει αρκετα κυμα με αποτελεσμα καποιες μερες να μην μπορεις καν να μπεις. Προφανως δεν φταιει το καταλυμα για αυτο, αλλα η τοποθεσια του. Επισης το εστιατορια/μπαρ διπλα ειναι υπερβολικα αργο στο σερβις και αρκετα ακριβο (σε σχεση με τα της περιοχης) - εκαναν πανω απο 1 ωρα και τις 3 φορες που φαγαμε εκει, για να μας φερουν το οτιδηποτε. Μπορει βεβαια να ετυχε, απλα αυτο βιωσαμε. Στα θετικα της περιοχης, εχει υπερβολικες επιλογες φαγητου-ποτου, σουπερμαρκετ ολα σε λογικες τιμες με αποτελεσμα να μην χρειαζεται να κουνηθεις καν απο το μερος για να πας καπου αλλου. Γενικα ειναι ενα καταλλυμα που σου προσφερει το απολυτο λιωσιμο (να μην χρειαζεται να κουνηθεις για πουθενα) απλα δεν παντρευεται η τιμη με την ποιοτητα μιας και το θεωρω υπερκτιμημενο.
