Distinctly underwhelming, overrated and overpriced hotel. Here’s why: 1. We stayed one of three nights at room 11, one of the most expensive ones, an ‘Atlantic Deluxe’. One of the stone walls was paper-thin, so we could hear every little noise from the neighboring room. TV set, talking on the phone, coughing, even yawning. Upon brining this up in the morning I was told I would get feedback from the ‘management’, which was conveniently absent from the location. Even after 3 days no comment, no free drink from the bar, no soup of the day on the house. Simply unacceptable. 2. The premises are home to an epic population of house sparrows. The males chirp from the break of dawn to the end of dusk, without a single break. Some people may perceive this as romantic, but in fact it is very annoying. Since the doors to the rooms are very light (not to say cheap), even closed windows will not help since the noise will come in through the badly fitted doors. Further, these birds poo around the whole area and this is not taken care of. The birdlife around the hotel is house sparrows only, no biodiversity whatsoever. There are ways to keep these populations at bay, but the hotel does not care. In fact, they frame it as ‘birds singing in the countryside’. Which is simply false because you will not find any house sparrows away from human settlement. Again, the ‘management’ was not available to talk to. No drink from the bar, no soup of the day on the house. And they wouldn’t let us cancel the two remaining nights (zero refund). 3. The spa is a joke. They did the absolute minimal setup so they could call it ‘Nature and Spa’. The so-called Turkish bath is hardly lukewarm and there is no way to rinse the surfaces with water. In general, the spa area is tiny, and it is passion- and lifeless. 4. There is more like you cannot go for a walk without driving and mediocre breakfast, but I will stop here. Summing up: If you want to overpay for a hyped up, ridiculously expensive and epically house sparrow infested place, do so but it is very much not recommended.
