Avoid this hotel. The hotel is not maintained and the basic functions, heating/cooling, lack of cleanliness, plumbing and response to immediate and continuous issues was poorly handled. We had to leave. We were moved from 2 rooms on the 3rd floor with overwhelming moisture and cooling failure and a disgusting mildew odor. There were casual efforts to open windows and spray something that did nothing. The moisture and mold issues were obviously li standing. We were moved to other rooms on the 1st floor and then to two alternative ones on the 1st floor, with the same issues with plaster and light fixtures literally falling off the wall due to moisture. The doorman actually tried to bring us into and occupied room and the women was shocked, and scared. The rooms are actually falling apart. The staff is clearly expecting these concerns but they truly have no ability to fix the issues. They say ownership have been notified of the extensive issues and they “seem to do nothing” . The staff is helpless to correct any of it . We had to leave. We may or may not get our money back but the place is uninhabitable and should not be rented until overhauled.

The hotel is right on the beachfront in a wonderful location. The staff are fantastic - friendly and very welcoming. Food was expensive but great. The only real downside was that my ground floor room with a patio had a lovely view of the sea but no patio furniture at all so nowhere to sit and enjoy the view from the patio. Wifi was good, which was essential as I spent a lot of time working in my room. I will definitely return!
