Very good

Exceptional

Pleasant

Liked: There was no air conditioning at the time because they said they still had heat on, so it was very hot and stuffy. We had to sleep with the patio door open and there was a wedding at the time so it was VERY loud until late. Overall the facility was beautiful and clean.
Disliked: Clean and beautiful. The included breakfast was amazing!

Very good

Liked: In general a nice hotel, partially renovated. Very nice restaurant as well.
Disliked: From the pictures I thought that there was a pool and wellness area and massages too, but massages had to be booked and a mobile masseur would come to the room (if available) and the pool area was closed due to the season.

Nice stay, few small touches...

Liked: It was a short but nice stay! Well located, with parking and swimming pool!
Disliked: It was my partner’s birthday (they knew) a small amenity in the room would have been appreciated. Additionally, I believe that complimentary water should be provided, especially at a 5-star hotel.

Exceptional

Liked: Breakfast e reception

Nice destination but beware.

Liked: The hotel is beautiful and located by the beach. We were booked for two nights and both nights the racket from private parties was unbearable. We had to change rooms to try and avoid the noise of loud music . The hotel admitted that it was a bad choice but the damage was done. If you intend to book there check that a party isn’t scheduled for your stay. A compensation was given but we left tired for our next day drive.

Very poor

Very good

Disappointing, feels like scam, it's...

Liked: - Some nice staff- Free bikes for usage
Disliked: Below are the reasons for my early departure and dissatisfaction:- Room lacked basic amenities, including:No robes, iron, or tea/coffee kettle despite being advertised as a 5-star hotel.No free bottled water in the room, no cotton swabsOnly bar soap instead of liquid soap, which is uncommon in high - end hotelsNo iron or bathrobe - had to request them from receptionOnly one access card for 2 guests, need to request additional one.Misleading pool facilities:- Pool water was not heated, despite it being advertised as heated on Booking.com.- No working jacuzzi or hot tub despite expectations.- It's more like wedding facilities than holiday stay, seasonal one which is not mentioned, for a winter tem everything is limited or closed around.- No transfer services or excursions available at reception, which is unusual for a 5-star hotel.- No welcome guide or informational materials:Had to manually note mealtimes as no schedule was provided.No brochures for spa, solarium, or massage services.- Disappointing breakfast options:Very limited variety, no pancakes etc. not 5 stars one as expected.- Hotel looked outdated, including rooms and exterior.- Mould in the bathroom, poor drainage, and flooding due to misplaced fixtures.- No car rental options offered.- Weak WiFi signal in the room ( 2 bars from 5).- Fridge was overstocked with overpriced drinks, leaving no space for personal use.- It is not beach front- Middle of nowhere where most shops are closed for a the winter time so you can not trust google maps, coming around 2 pm you need to wait by 6 until pizzeria is open.- We had deluxe room, rooms looks damaged, balcony window handle was damaged and need to use much force to close it or open.Most important it's 3, maybe 4 star hotel, not even near 5 stars.
