FANTASTIC Honeymoon Stay!!!
attentive staffvery nice detailsea viewgreat experience
We just returned from our honeymoon break and were COMPLETELY amazed! The staff was attentive. Nothing seemed too difficult for them. I upgraded to a side sea view room, and it was worth EVERY penny. The attention to detail throughout the hotel is very nice, exceeding all expectations.
The hairdryer required a VERY firm grip to operate consistently, which I found difficult.

The hotel is right by the sea. The hotel is near the old town. It is entirely flat from the main road to the hotel entrance, so accessibility is GREAT. The hotel has a splendid position with good sun loungers.

There are two pools with a jacuzzi, alongside a quality spa on site. The gym has a amazing view, and there is a ramp to access the pools EASILY. Lifts are available to reach the bedrooms and the promenade.

Mixed Feelings about the Stay
poor trainingslow service
I found the service inconsistent. Some staff were great. others seemed poorly trained! Getting a simple coffee at the Levante restaurant was a challenge. The staff really struggled with my order. I asked for a specific type of coffee, but it was wrong twice. It took ages to receive drinks.

The breakfast buffet had many options.
I encountered issues with the QR code ordering system at the pool. It felt impersonal! and the service at Levante restaurant was slow. It took ages for drinks. A simple Calypso coffee proved to be a challenge for the bartender. The replacements were not what I expected. apply, twice. -.
