Fantastic beach hotel, did not disappoint
Having done plenty of research (based on location, facilities etc), this hotel delivered on my expectations. I had booked 5 nights a Deluxe Sea View, had asked for first floor though don't know where these rooms are located. They delivered on great view, room 241. Very spacious, light & bright, excellent shower, 2 bottles drinking water every day refreshed.
As I had read many reviews also I knew what to expect so was not disappointed, for the price too, it delivered.
The only negative was there was no choice to dine in the hotel in the evening except where we had breakfast which is huge and impersonal. On that note, breakfast was a bit disappointing in quality, food very slow to re-fill. Staff sourly and unfriendly. You can order fresh cooked eggs. Once we ordered 2 poached eggs.... a very miserable looking chef delivered it to our table.... uncooked and inedible!
On the positives.
- Reception staff welcoming and helpful.
- Stromboli pool bar, beach staff were friendly and efficient.
- the pool is gorgeous quite large and warm, sea is crystal clear. Plenty of sunbeds.
- the garden / landscaping is immaculate, hats off to the gardeners. The only thing though is the trees growing up the building, should be significantly trimmed as half the view was blocked
The finale..... oh my gosh, the sunsets, absolutely stunning. Lovely places to sit and enjoy an aperitif and watch the sun going down. One evening we were there, a saxophonist was playing.... what a great choice, created a great atmosphere, it was very special.
Final shout out in particular to Stefano at the Stromboli bar in the evenings... he was charming, efficient and remembered what we liked to drink. Also to the lovely Oksana who made up our room and always greeted us with a smile and made sure we had everything we needed. It's these personal touches from the staff that help make our stay special.
If it was easier to get to, we'd be back. If they opened Stromboli in the evening (lovely menu), we'd definitely be back!
