Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A AThe territory of the hotel is a real botanical garden, it provides shade and relaxing atmosphere during the "hot" hours. There live about 10 cats. About 70-80% of the guests are Germans, the other come from Russia, Poland and England. Not many children (of those mostly small babies), hardly any teenagers, mostly people of 50-60 y. o. Acually this is a wrong place for teenagers for there is no entertainment for them at the hotel. This is a place for people seeking a quiet relaxing holiday.
Location
The beach is rocky, the rocks are with seaweeds. There is also a small sandy beach which is suitable for children, however it joins the public beach (there is no border, fence).
I had a plastic bag of my baby's clothes (in the bathroom and it disappeared. The reception was not very willing to cooperate and asked me to "please come again next morning" 3 (!!!) times! When I finally got really angry about it they apologized and gave me a free lunch and a long stay (till 2: 30 pm) at the day of my departure.
Gastronomy
The breakfast was the same for all the 14 days!!! The dinner food changed slightly. However the fish was delicious all the time! I guess the food is too spicy for children.
Sport & Entertainment
The pools are a piece of art - they are hidden under the palms and other trees.
Room
The main building roooms, I guess, are too noisy because of the restaurant on the ground floor and evening entertainment programs at the pool. The bungalows which have an exit to the pool can also be disturbing for the pools are noisy and sometimes people are swimming after 8: 00 pm (though it is prohibited). Keep in mind that there is a disco at some place near the hotel and twice a week they have a dancing party which is very loud, however it is usually over about 11 pm (especially it concerns bungalows 200-300 - to the left from the main building)
Tips and recommendations
Well, ultimately we had a very relaxing holiday and were sorry to leave!
