The property is on a good location and its beautiful

Staff, rooms and location
Breakfast is not a bufet. You have to say how many sausages and how many tomatos you would like to have and it can make you uncomfortable. They have a very poor selection of breakfast choices and some were out for a few days.....

The hotel makes a very good first impression. From the outside, the property looks modern, well maintained and attractive. The reception area is welcoming, and the breakfast area is spacious and overlooks the swimming pool, creating a pleasant atmosphere in the morning. The pool itself is nice, with sun loungers and umbrellas available for guests, and the hotel also offers a small private beach area and a bar. Breakfast is served at the table on request and was one of the highlights of my stay, with good quality food and generous portions. The restaurant and bar are also convenient if you prefer not to leave the property in the evening.
While the common areas are attractive, the rooms are quite disappointing by comparison. They feel old, maintenance is below expectations, and cleanliness could be improved. Basic amenities such as soap, toiletries and towels were provided in very limited quantities, which is surprising considering the price of the hotel.
Storage space in the room is also poorly designed. There is no practical area to place and open suitcases, so guests are forced to keep luggage closed and access belongings as needed. Electrical outlets were limited and relied on a shared extension strip, which was inconvenient. The lighting inside the room was also inadequate, making the space feel dark and less comfortable.
Another disappointing aspect was the complimentary water policy. Two bottles of water are provided on arrival, but they are not replaced daily. Guests are expected to refill them themselves, which feels out of place for a hotel in this price range. Small details such as sufficient towels, toiletries and daily water replenishment should be standard and should not require guests to ask.
Finally, travellers should be aware that the beach and sea conditions are significantly affected by tides and wind, at least during July, which may impact the overall beach experience.
Overall, the hotel offers attractive outdoor facilities and a pleasant atmosphere, but the rooms do not match the standard suggested by the common areas. For the price paid, I expected newer, better maintained and more functional accommodation.
