Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were under refurbishment, which made them a bit moldy and damp, but they were packed with facilities, and I could access the beach at a neighboring property. The view of the pool and sea from my room was mesmerizing. The service was top-notch with friendly and helpful staff willing to go the extra mile. The location, although hit by a storm during my visit, was amazing with vast garden areas that could use some more furniture. However, the main facilities were a bit of a distance at the Danat Resort. The dining experience was lacking, especially since my last stay, with not-so-impressive grilled dishes. Overall, the facilities were decent, but improvements could be made.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. I loved being able to use the beach and facilities of the neighboring resort, but the cleanliness of the rooms left much to be desired. The newly renovated room was comfortable with a lovely bed and fast Wi-Fi, but the presence of ants near the work desk was unsettling. The staff, unfortunately, lacked courtesy with no warm greeting upon arrival.
My stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms were modern and overall clean and comfortable, with a large comfortable bed. The staff was so accommodating and friendly, making my experience even more enjoyable. I loved the location, just a few km away and clearly visible from the beach, providing a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The dining experience was really yummy, and the facilities were top-notch.
Despite some issues with humidity in the rooms, my stay at the hotel was enjoyable. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, although a bit damp at times.

The hotel provides very clean and comfortable rooms, but there are differences between deluxe and standard rooms. The rooms can feel strangely humid even with the AC running all day.
The hotel offers a mix of pros and cons. While the rooms seemed a little damp and had a strange smell, they were fully equipped under refurbishment, with access to beach facilities at the neighboring property. The service was attentive and even included special treats from the reception staff. The location is convenient to the beach and ferry port but lacks additional facilities. The dining experience had room for improvement with cold food and limited variety.
My stay at the hotel was a delightful surprise! The rooms, though not large, were nice and equipped with all amenities, exceeding our expectations. I would have loved a room with a door opening up to the outside. The service was exceptional with a very friendly and accommodating staff. The location, while suitable for my trip, could use some maintenance and renovation. The dining experience was superb, featuring complimentary meals but with some disappointing cold options. The facilities were top-notch, adding to the overall experience.
The hotel offers basic but necessary facilities, with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff is very friendly and helpful, proactively offering services like packing a breakfast box. The location is remarkable, close to the ferry port, but experiences issues like noisy air conditioning and weak Wi-Fi in certain rooms. The dining experience is average, with limited variety but fulfilling options at a reasonable price. Overall, a decent place with some minor drawbacks.
The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms look new and are very good, but unfortunately, they are not clean, with dirty carpets causing unpleasant odors. The staff at the reception lacked basic courtesy. However, the service provided includes a complimentary upgrade to a chalet with great amenities, making for a pleasant stay overall.
