Hotel review I would never return This is one of the more challenging reviews I’ve written. Ordinarily there is a clear cut case making a place top rated or consistent poor performance to deserve 1 or 2 stars. However here it took me a while to get to the final rating. What was it that bothered me when a lot of the staff is sweet and attentive? The hotel is clean and overall it works? And while breakfast is disappointing in quality the included ‘a la carte’ option I tried was not bad at all. So what is so wrong that we wished we stayed somewhere else? After three nights I realized what haunts this location to the extent that I’ve settled on 2 stars only. It’s the ‘money first, guest second’ attitude of the entire operation. An attitude that that must be driven by the owners. It’s the breaking down of items, even simple safety items on stairs and lights, the phone in your room, the lock on the bathroom door that are not repaired. It’s the design shower that sells well on room pictures, but overflow when you use it. It’s the selling of an infinity pool that looks out on the ocean, but in reality you stare at the SUV parked in front of it. It’s the 10 o’clock opening of the swimming pool, two hours after many guests would want to enter. It’s the late start of breakfast to ensure the tourist have already left for their trips and won’t eat. It’s the serving of mini water bottles in the room, one sip and they are finished, then charging for additional water. It’s the charging of pool towels with 10 euro each. It’s the lack of healthy, or even normal options in the breakfast buffet, such as fresh fruit or any charcuterie. It’s the lack of parking on site that’s never discussed. No one is helpful where you can then park. It’s the tiny room with the tiny bed that is sold as a double bed. It’s the charging of the entire stay upon arrival, before you see your room and know what’s wrong, while you could have cancelled with one nights charge had you not shown up or left immediately. REFUSE TO PAY UNTIL YOU SEE YOUR ROOM. THEN ONL PAY FOR THE FIRST NIGHT AND THEN DECIDE. That attitude of ‘let’s maximize our profits and think of guests second’, which perpetrates the entire hotel operation, makes that we will never come back. Rather we will chose one of the many other hotels or Airbnb in the city, which at same price or cheaper, provides double or triple the value. It’s all in the attitude.
