“Secluded Hotel with Excellent Service and Historic Charm”

A tasteful hotel with high-level services in a secluded location with a beautiful beach overlooked by a 14th-century castle.

A tasteful hotel with high-level services in a secluded location with a beautiful beach overlooked by a 14th-century castle. The staff's approach and competence were excellent; the hotel's amenities are not the newest, but this did not affect the quality of the stay. Dining was buffet-style and of high quality. The beach below the hotel is not very large, but even in July, it was not crowded. It is sandy, though access to the water is complicated in several places by rocks and stones, but there is a marked corridor free of obstacles. The seabed is sandy with minimal flora and fauna, making swimming safe without the risk of encountering jet skis or similar nuisances. Some might consider the hotel's isolation its weakest point - you need a car to get anywhere. Within walking distance, I found only one restaurant and no grocery stores. The hotel helped me arrange a car rental, but this service is not common in this part of the island, unlike in many other European resorts.

“Disappointed”

On arrival we were greeted at reception by a rude and unhelpful receptionist who insisted we had to pay an additional tax for ‘service charge’ of €25 for the first night and €20 per night thereafter. We knew there would be a government tax of €2 per person per night, which is standard everywhere. W… more

On arrival we were greeted at reception by a rude and unhelpful receptionist who insisted we had to pay an additional tax for ‘service charge’ of €25 for the first night and €20 per night thereafter. We knew there would be a government tax of €2 per person per night, which is standard everywhere. We have never heard of this before and was told this was for beach/pool towels etc, which should have already been included. We could not get our key until we paid this which is unheard of as usually service and tax charges are paid at the end of your holiday. Needless to say we took this up with our holiday provider who refunded the amount. There was no porter to take your luggage to your room and was just pointed in the right direction, not the service of a 4 star hotel! Had a terrible noise in our room and had to be moved and kindly upgraded. Trips non existent as there is not enough people to go on them. Beach is very small and covered in seaweed, and lots of rocks going into the sea, there is a walkway but no directions and no one to advise you of this. The beach attendant swept the sun beds but not the seaweed, which would have made the beach a lot better. The rooms were clean but no telephone, coffee machine or minibar, I can only assume these were in the suits. Plumbing in the rooms not good, lots of gurgling noises when you use the shower and toilet. Food was excellent and the dining staff very good and continuously topping up the food. The location is very remote and you definitely need a car, no restaurants or supermarket near by. We hired a car which the hotel organised and decided to see the sights ourselves. The hotel could be amazing but needs a lot of work and I would definitely not class it as a 4 star hotel.
