This is my second time stay here, last time it was bad - this time it was worst. I booked it because there was no other hotel that was available in that area. In the night it rained heavily and water was splashing inside the room from through the window. The curtains were broken. The staff were nice but this is hotel is overpriced for what it offers. The staff though nice, did not know clean practices, they were using no gloves when then were preparing food for breakfast in the buffet area. Please do something to Feedback the hotel or rate them as 1 star hotel.

Like: Location walkable into town and the rock carvings. On a large plot running down to the sea and huge pool. Cottage was spacious with view over golf course to the sea. Staff friendly and helpful. Large comfortable bed. Dislike: Sunbeds need renewing. 2 of stairs into pool broken. Litter not cleared away.No chairs/ sun beds on the beach and unfinished buildings next to the beach. Resort needs some TLC which may have started as lobby area being renovated.

We stayed for four days. On Day 1, we were in room number 317, and the next day, we moved to room 316. The AC was noisy, the TV and intercom were not working, and the floor tiles in room 316 were broken. Additionally, the doors were in bad condition, and we found torn towels.

The guests wore masks but the staff in the restaurant didn’t. The check-in was confusing but quick. When we ordered food in the restaurant they took more than an hour to bring the food and brought the wrong dish. So we went outside the resort to have our meals after the first day. I will most certainly avoid this resort in the future.

Worst stay.

The stay has been the worst. We were shifted to another room stating electrical fault and after we shifted the same room was allotted to someone else. The néw rooms ACs were not working. Till late 11:00 PM hotel couldn’t find a remote for the ACs. The room being closed didn’t have windows so that fresh air could come. The hotel staff didn’t have any technician to mend the AC. We were forced to sleep in hot and humid situation. It was the worst experience and worst holiday. The support staff are useless and unsupportive.
