There were no bottle openers or door hangers to say ‘do not disturb’. The beds were horrible, didn’t have a good sleep. We also went to celebrate our engagement, nothing was said or done. It was advertised that there would be a boat to the beach free of charge, not the case €7.50 each. ##### Andrea Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carmina Jul 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Excellent Excellent , they give a upgrade with views, we not accepted for that 😀✨ ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b1a05ac3-c509-427f-89b9-530d5934aae3-1752914733432.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Carmina Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JOLINE Mar 10, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful property! ##### JOLINE Stayed 1 night in Mar 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Harvey Feb 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Staff most accommodating and friendly. ##### Harvey Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrea Oct 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Great entertainment and bar made great cocktails!

Not our sort of place and wouldn’t return . ##### Jonathan Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Peter Jul 15, 2022 Disliked: Staff & service #### 3 star quality - pretty average Beautiful buildings and location but, sadly, only a fraction of what it could be. Breakfasts are very mediocre (even the orange juice is processed) and staff generally not interested in service with a smile. The pool is woefully small for the size of the hotel and the name “eco” is just greenwashing. ##### Peter Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Penelope Feb 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Spa treatments expensive especially when the time was shorter than promised ##### Penelope Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Serene Aug 6, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Consider Carefully Before Booking Be aware that this is not a desirable location for couples or adults looking for a peaceful place to stay. It clearly caters to families and should be advertised as such. Children were running around (literally) unsupervised while parents relaxed at the pool, bar or dining areas from morning until after 11pm. The condition and cleanliness of the hotel was poor. The shower did not drain resulting in deep standing water while using it and had mold and mildew, and the bedroom floor was sandy/dirty upon arrival. Parking was extremely limited and we and many others were parked in areas squeezed into corners and other non-designated parking areas (we saw a car that was hit because of this). Last and probably most importantly, our experience was that front desk/concierge staff were not helpful or friendly when we arrived, when we brought the shower issue to their attention, and when we checked out. Maybe we could feel better about the experience as a whole if it was an inexpensive stay, but ironically we stayed at many other hotels on our trip that were less expensive and absolutely amazing. I should add that we are not complainers or high maintenance and make efforts to be friendly and go with the flow so it took a lot to write a very honest review that hopefully might help someone else make a different decision about where they stay. ##### Serene Stayed 1 night in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer Oct 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Breakfast is amazing.
