“Beware of construction noise”

Doublecheck that the reconstruction is completed before you book. We could hardly stay at the hotel daytime because of the noise. Hammering, drilling made it impossible. The restaurant was closed, the gym party closed. The hotel did not inform us in advance about the ongoing construction work. Not acceptabel.

“Avoid!!!!”

Great location and a great sea view but the greats stop there! Currently being refurbished so incredibly noisy with drilling and banging. Fresh smell of paint and fire doors jammed open. Also fire alarms covered up with tape. Breakfast was awful with no crockery available and food that looked like it had been there for days. Really disappointing as first impressions design wise was good. No real apologies for the state of the hotel, breakfast or noise. Book somewhere else if you can, also the refit is pretty shoddy so won’t last long looking new.

“Outstanding Breakfast!”

While the hotel was good, the beach view rooms were under renovation so we had a very nice pool view room. The standout feature of this hotel was the griddle station at the breakfast buffet, where the ladies made fresh omelets, bhgigir, and mesmen to order. Be sure to have those if staying at this hotel!
