a summer stay

credit conceptfriendly stafftasty optiongreat team
I found the concept of a credit of €25 per person daily practical. This could be used for dining. The bar and restaurant staff were friendly, always providing great service. Breakfast was good, with many fresh and tasty options available. The team genuinely cared about guests, so I liked it.
I noticed the hotel lacked quality in my opinion.

The restaurant staff coordinated well and displayed kindness. Every meal was a pleasure. Front Office Manager Jelena Bojanić contacted me to correct reception issues. This was a good point. Staff tried their best, they are very nice and friendly.
Facilities

The hotel has many places to chill, including areas around the pool and by the beach, that I liked. The outside swimming pool pleased kids, especially. There are well-organized spaces in the pool zone, including comfortable seating and private areas.
Location

The hotel is in a beautiful spot with a short water taxi ride to the town. The location is excellent, near many restaurants. The hotel's proximity to the shoreline allows for pleasant, well-lit walks with many people around even in the evening

Awesome Hotel with Great Amenities!!!

quieter beachvegan optionspool baractive optionsrestrictive policy
I loved the access to a quieter beach, perfect for escaping the pool crowds. The breakfast was AMAZING!!! It had a huge variety of vegan and gluten-free options, great. The pool bar allowed me to sip cocktails while enjoying the sun and view. I also really liked the many activities available to stay active.
The policy against moving sunbeds was a bit restrictive. Staff told me I couldn't adjust my spot even slightly for shade. This was inconvenient, especially when trying to find relief from the sun.

I noted a slight issue with some guests reserving loungers very early, a minor inconvenience.
