This resort is a bit of an enigma. When you look close enough there is plenty to moan about. The wifi-signal is rubbish and seems only to work (somewhat) outside your room, the bathrooms are not very clean and are more or less falling apart, the beds are not that great (although we’ve had worse in Italy), there are no comfy cushions in the outside furniture on your terrace, the pool has ******* closing/opening hours and so on, and so on… But then again, much can be forgiven. Breakfast is excellent (albeit there is no fresh orange juice) and eggs are cooked to order. For dinner you have a choice of two restaurants, one of which is -very romantically- located at the resort’s private little harbour. Staff throughout the hotel are very friendly and they go out of their way to make sure your every whim is catered for. The views over the bay of Marinella are beautiful and the gardens are luscious, immaculately kept and a joy to look at. This place is not cheap, but there are many similar resorts in this neck of the woods that easily charge you double the amount you pay here. Make sure you have a room with sea-view though! Then go sit on your private patio, have a drink and watch all the little boats and mega-yachts float by. Bliss! Disliked · Quite a number of things unfortunately: Wifi-connection is of poor quality, the rooms and bathrooms could definitely do with an upgrade, and are not kept very clean. Daily maid service is a quick in- and out job. Make up the bed, provide clean towels, a quick sweep with a broom and hey presto, the room is clean again (don’t look under the bed though, and certainly don’t inspect all the different nooks and crannies in the bathroom). The decision to shut down the swimming pool between the hours of 1 pm and 3.30 pm is baffling. Service at the restaurant was immaculate for three nights in a row, but on the 4th night it was Murphy’s Law all round. Beware! There is a lot of climbing to do, to get to and from your room. The whole place is filled with steps and stairs, so anyone less mobile could be facing a bit of a challenge.
