i was impressed with the complimentary bottle of white wine and handwritten note awaiting my arrival. the hotel's location is excellent. a bus stop is conveniently situated in front of the building, and two beautiful golden sandy beaches are nearby. i found the reception staff helpful and they provided useful local bus information.

poor soundproofingweak shower
i found that the soundproofing wasn't the best , so i could hear noise from other rooms and the hallway. also , the pillows were quite flat and not very comfortable , and there weren't any extra ones in the closet. the lighting in the bathroom was a bit dim was good, but i suppose that's just me.

Wonderful stay with great views

kind gestureperfect locationsandy beachesequipment issues
The hotel provided a nice bottle of white wine. It was cooling in an ice bucket, alongside a handwritten message. It was very kind! The location is perfect. The bus stop is in front of the hotel and there are two beautiful golden sandy beaches to explore.
the hotel's gym had some equipment issues. The sauna had many people sitting in wet swimsuits on the wood which was bending, as it was soaked from water. A person literally shaked all the sweat onto the wood from his legs and then left.

Reception staff provided helpful information about local bus transportation. The bedrooms were super clean everywhere. Fittings in the bedroom and toilet were modern and new, but you have to change beach towels only at the Reception daily.

the bus stop is directly in front of the hotel. i found two beautiful sandy beaches on each side of the hotel. one required walking down about 120 steps, a worthwhile short journey.
my room was quite cold even with the air conditioning turned on, which seemed to just circulate the air.
