Guest reviews
Pleasant
The property seems to have had minimal maintenance for a very long time. The room had a good bed, a big couch and a well
Liked: The location is excellent.
Disliked: The room was not secure. The door to the common balcony could not be locked. It wasn’t really able to be closed properly.
Very nice
Liked: The hotel is directly across the road from the beach and the sea but the hotel has a lovely pool outside too with plenty of sun loungers
Give this one a miss no joke
Liked: No hotel info in rooms. Doors that squeak, toilets that don’t flush, electrics that don’t work with bare cables hanging, no where to hang clothes other than in shower.poor breakfast offering -fried eggs served as omelette,no tea making in rooms. No excursions no advice from reception. Pool cold and bar looks like it was a 70s smokers pub. No lifts to top floor restaurant!
No towels for swimming pool
Liked: Booked to swim. Had to pay cash, machine didn’t work Toilet had no paper. No towels given.otherwise fine
Liked: It was adequate for the €75 we paid for the bungalow for a night while we got a feel for the area. Our "bungalow" was dated, the sliding door didn't fit the frame properly anymore. There was a plug in wheely radiator (minus 2 wheels) available to heat the room. We did sleep ok in a comfy bed. It was not too much of a step up from a hostel environment. All of the security and concierge staff were absolutely wonderful., considerate, conscientious and kind. It's a shame the powers that be havent invested in this property
Disliked: It is obviously a property that was built in the 70's and noone has done a single thing to it to bring it up to date never mind maintan it.
Go for location
Liked: Close to beach and souk
Disliked: Cold, door locke not clean enough. There was a power outage.
Good to know
