“Faulty Light, Sleepless Night”

The closet light repeatedly switched itself on and off throughout my first night, flashing across the room and waking me up in alarm. Even removing the key card did not switch it off. Maintenance fixed the fault the following day, but my sleep was already ruined. When I requested a rate adjustment, duty manager Esther Bruna deflected responsibility, claiming I should have reported it during the night. Expecting guests to relocate at 2 AM because of the hotel’s own electrical failure is unreasonable. Even more disappointing was management’s refusal to acknowledge the impact. A hotel should take responsibility for its shortcomings, not blame its guests.

“Hotel was very quiet”

Hotel is nice, views are amazing, staff are lovely. It was the last week of the season so we were expecting it to be quieter but there was no atmosphere in the hotel at all. The bar was empty in the evenings.

“A relaxing week away in a decent hotel.”

Had a wonderful stay at the Albatross for a week. It’s towards end of season so not too busy but we had decent weather and the hotel, which is adult's only, was great. The staff were all warm and friendly and the location is a decent base to get anywhere on the island with the regular and cheap bus services with stops right outside the hotel. The hotel has a decent pool and spa but it is all salt water so that needs bearing in mind. Just a short walk away are a couple of decent coves with sandy beaches which are nice to visit and relax on. All in all an excellent stay for us and I’d recommend the hotel.

“October R&R stay”

Really enjoyable stay at the hotel. We loved the breakfasts which had a wide variety of choice. We also enjoyed the indoor swimming pool, jacuzzi and sauna, which came in handy when the weather was inclement. All the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. We’d certainly stay here again.
