Reviews and Ratings
I had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms in the main lighthouse were gorgeous and spacious, with stunning views that made the experience worth it. The service was exceptional, although we had a small hiccup with the entry passcode. The location is beautiful, with a hidden beach nearby, but it can be tricky to navigate during certain seasons. I also enjoyed lounging by the infinity pool in the morning sun, though the dining options could have been better as there was no breakfast provided.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location near a hidden beach and spacious, clean rooms. The staff was genuinely friendly, always looking to make my experience special. However, I did experience some hiccups, like not receiving the passcode for entry, which led to a funny trek up a dirt road. The dining options could also use some improvements.
The hotel is situated in a secluded area, accessible via a gravel road, but it boasts a stunning hidden beach nearby. The rooms are spacious and clean, however, they could use more amenities, and I faced some hot water issues during my stay. The staff goes above and beyond to make your experience special, although there was a hiccup with our entry passcode that made accessing the hotel a bit inconvenient. Overall, it’s a unique place for special occasions, but consider the price, which seemed a bit high for some aspects.
The hotel offers a unique and secluded experience, perched on a hill with stunning Mediterranean views. The staff was incredibly friendly and always aimed to make our stay special, despite some minor service hiccups. The rooms were spacious but could use more amenities for added comfort. Overall, it's a great spot for those looking to unwind, but it has a few quirks that might need addressing.
I had a great experience at the hotel overall. The location is truly unique and offers an amazing view, while the rooms were comfortable. The staff was polite and professional, but it was a bit inconvenient that they forgot to send us the entry passcode. Dining could use some improvement, especially with a more varied breakfast menu. Still, the pool area provided a lovely atmosphere to relax in. For the price, it offers good value, though some amenities were missing.
