Property was nice. Room was nice and clean. Staff was rude and i booked this Property only for the swimming pool. It was closed and no body give us update or notice. They didn't compensate. Terrible experience. I could have booked same kind of rrom somewhere else with half price that i paid them. Apart from that breakfast was good. Cleanliness was good

Whilst the property was fine, they arranged on ground transport with a mob of shysters. We arrived at arranged meeting place, all staff were playing with their phones and none seemed to be our booked transport. None of them had our names registered in their system. 1 said they could take us, but to wait, never saw them again, then a second did the same and after 20 minutes we took a taxi (at half the cost of the booked transfer). On arrival at the hotel, transfer had called the hotel to say WE were a no show. Hotel staff then blackmailed us into paying the Euro 60 by refusing to hand our passports back until we did. After some discussion and return of passports, hotel staff paid half and only half back. Every where we went in that area, someone was after a piece of the action, wanting to sell us something we didnt want at exorbitant prices. Counterfeit luxury goods (watches, bags etc) abound. I would not go there again.

This hotel has potential but lacks investment
The hotel turned out to not be what was advertised at time of booking. The pool, spa and gym area is rundown, and clearly needs investment. If this had been rectified prior to my arrival then I would be giving this hotel a 5 star review.

The hotel rooms are very old specifically the washrooms. The hotel management scheduled maintenance work at night and the noise from maintenance drilling and cutting kept me and my sick kids awake all night prior to our flight. When i called the receptionist he refused that there work happening and when i kept calling he finally accepted that construction was going on. Terrible experience. Also the location is tough for the taxis to get in.

Stay as far away from this hotel as you possibly can. First the room. The mattresses are hard like concrete. I even switched my room and still unbelievable uncomfortable. There are no lights on the room besides the end table lamps. The room phone was not working, so you can't call the front desk. The bathrooms are moldy and the sockets ripped out of the walls. I wish I could attach the pictures I took. Then, the pool and sauna area. It's actually nice down there. The pool super cold but manageable. One evening I went to the pool and then the Turkish bath. As every time, I lay face down on the middle table relaxing. I did notice somebody walk in but didn't really pay to much attention. All of a sudden this dude starts rubbing my back. I was like woooooo hold on. Stop! I got up and this dude was completely naked with a hard on standing in front of me. I got really mad and walked outside after he told me common just one time only one time. I told the pool guys and management. Nothing was done any this guy. They seen him so why not address this. Then I switched hotels and as I'm standing outside this hotel talking to the taxi guy, talking about the price I'm putting my backpack in the car and as I'm want to put my suitcase in, he speeds off with all my money, passport everything gone!!! Please stay away from this hotel.

I feel that you have miss sold this hotel. You have listed it as a 4 star hotel with spar. I dont see a spar down stairs. The pool has broken lights. The jacuzzi doesnt work. The pool fountain is broken. The pool isnt even heated. The steam room is broken. The GYM is out of service. The hair salon isn’t in service. The Turkish bathrooms look dirty. The only thing down there that was working until today was the sauna. And now that doesn’t work any more !!

Where to start, bed too hard, quilt too heavy, pillows clumpy. The shower oh the shower, black mould everywhere, broken and missing tiles, leaking hose. The toilet bowl directly in front of the basin making the sink unusable. The shower door opened outwards which left no room to enter. What a game, I had to stand on the toilet out of the way, naked, open the shower door and enter that way. The breakfast very limited. Luckily that was it, the sevice was great and the evening restaurant was to die for. Everything we ordered was cooked and presented to perfection. Very tasty and moreish. We avoided it thinking the food elsewhere would be better yet all along the best was right upstairs.
