"Not the type of hotel for us."

"Børnevenligt personale men utrolig høje priser på restauranter i forhold til byen"

"We stayed in a premium suite with ocean view balcony. The pools and buildings are very nice, and the staff are plentiful and helpful. But the resort is isolated, and the resort seems to discourage guests from leaving. The "concierge" seemed completely unprepared to help. She could not recommend any restaurants in town, or recommend any tours. She could not help with public transportation or private car service. Our best help came from taxi drivers. They promoted a "movie night", but would not tell us what the movie would be until that day! Most of the guests appear to be older couples and their adult children, who just plan to lay on the beach and eat. The "gym" facility was a joke. A small room totally out of scale to the resort. The slate floor in our room was filthy. Every time we walked on it in bare feet, our feet became black. The private beach area attracts plastic waste. The sand was covered in plastic trash and plastic was floating in the water. This is a general problem in the Meditteranean today. Meals were very expensive. The lunch buffet was 41 euro per person. In addition, I arrived to lunch wearing a t-shirt and swimsuit, and was asked to go back to my room and change into shorts. They had no problem with the young woman wearing a thong and mesh cover up. I expect more for what we paid, at what was presented as a luxury resort."

"Da vi ankom, var kortet til vores værelse ikke i den anviste boks. Efter et kvarters ventetid kom ejeren. Han forklarede, at der desværre var et problem med det værelse vi skulle have og vi derfor var blevet opgraderet til et større værelse med privat pool. Det så som udgangspunkt fint ud, men desværre viste det sig, at poolen var møgbeskidt og efter min vurdering sundhedsskadelig at hoppe i. Der var en slimet belægning hele vejen rundt i vandkanten og der var sand på bunden. Badeværelset var stort, beskidt og så var afløbet i brusekabinen stoppet. Derudover var der en muggen lugt på badeværelset. Da vi vågnede om morgenen og trak gardinerne fra, faldt der to kakerlakker ned på gulvet. Så pakkede vi sammen og tjekkede tidligt ud. En skuffende oplevelse, som kunne være reddet af en omgang rengøring. "
