![]() ![]() However, the one time we dined there was a mixed experience. The breakfast was pretty good, as were the cocktails we ordered. ![]() If you’re planning on a relaxing soak there then think again: the two main air jets are on such a high power setting it’s like an under water volcanic eruption is taking place underneath you. There is also an artificial beach (that we didn’t visit) and a jacuzzi. To their credit they made an effort to find some for me and my partner within 20 mins. The day we went to the pool we were told there were no cushions for the loungers because they were being washed - seemed to be a pretty inconvenient state of affairs during the day. And the options are limited to essentially hanging around the pool. It is a pretty isolated place so unless you want to jump in a taxi or walk at least 30 mins in the heat to do something you’re stuck in the hotel. On the way to the lift you’ll pass one of the least impressive hotel gyms you’ll ever come across - it looks like a scrapyard for gym equipment. It’s unusual to arrive at a hotel and have to descend a few floors to get to your room, but that’s more to do with the design of the building that tries to overlook the sea. However, it’s a pretty weird place and I think we were both in agreement as we left that had we known then we would have chosen somewhere else. The staff on reception were friendly and helpful (particularly when my partner hurt her foot and needed a plaster), and there were definite attempts to accommodate our unusual requests like bringing us a corkscrew to our room (although this was to avoid a ridiculous $18 corkage charge by drinking our wine in the bar). I don’t think the hotel is that bad, it’s just quite basic and a little weird. I have to assume they have awarded themselves this status. It is amusing to walk past the various signs around the hotel which boast that it is a 5 star hotel.
