    gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous

    The Honeymoon Suite was absolutely stunning, featuring a spacious balcony with breathtaking sunset views. The large bathroom and separate dressing area added that extra touch of luxury to our stay. Breakfast was delightful and the distance to the beach was just a lovely two-minute stroll!

    totally recommend ❤️❤️

    spacious room
    great wifi
    comfy bed

    I loved the spacious Honeymoon Room with a generous wardrobe and a comfy sofa. The bed was firm with great pillows and the wifi was terrific. It’s in a safe location, just a short walk to the beach and restaurants.

    smelly room
    lack of service

    What a disaster, the honeymoon suite smells like stale smoke. how romantic right? staff were friendly but completely absent when you need them. i almost considered a good review, but the breakfast was nothing more than a pathetic, silent hostel vibe. they should really offer a complimentary upgrade for this sort of experience.

    The Honeymoon Suite offered some pretty magnificent balcony views that made waking up each morning a real treat. The overall spaciousness of the room was great, making for a cozy atmosphere to relax after long days out.

    The cleanliness left much to be desired. There were visible stains on the curtains and even hair left in the bed and shower—definitely not what you'd expect for a honeymoon suite. mold and smoke odors permeated the room, creating an unpleasant environment that overshadowed the nice aspects. Breakfast was a bit dodgy, too. the offerings were minimal, lacking staff presence to replenish items like milk and orange juice, which felt more like a hostel breakfast than a hotel experience. The time constraints on breakfast service made it tricky for earlier plans, and navigating the steep stairs without an elevator was a hassle, especially with luggage. despite some highlights, it missed the mark on many levels during my stay.

    breathtaking views
    luggage handling

    Loved my stay in the spacious Honeymoon Suite with breathtaking views from the balcony and a super comfy bed that made it hard to leave! The small outdoor pool and cozy sun terrace were perfect for lounging after a day of exploring. Only downside was having to carry my luggage up a few flights of stairs, but it was worth it for such a great experience! 😊
