GGuest UserThe sea view from this hotel is beautiful, and the property is quite large, giving it a real resort feel. There are about four or five restaurants, but the food is a bit monotonous and average. If you're not too picky about food and just want to sunbathe, enjoy the sea view, and swim in shallow waters, then it's a good choice.
Regarding the discrimination everyone is concerned about, it definitely exists, and it's specifically targeted at Chinese guests. When dining at the Asian restaurant and another nearby one, there were several ****** waiters. They would serve white guests with a smile, proactively asking what juice they wanted, but completely ignore Chinese guests or pretend not to understand what juice they were asking for. It's not overt discrimination, but you can feel the subtle bias everywhere.
From the moment I checked in at the front desk with my Chinese passport, it seemed the differential treatment began. I visited in early June during the off-season, and the hotel was noticeably empty and quiet. Yet, they insisted that buildings 3 and 4 were full and that only a ground-floor room was left in building 5. The front desk staff's attitude was also very poor. Only one gentleman during checkout and a lady named Riwan, who spoke excellent Chinese, treated Chinese guests well.
It's not about tipping! Because most of the white guests I observed were 'poor whites' who didn't tip anyway – wealthy whites would be in Southern Italy, not here. Yet, the staff treated them much better. For Chinese guests, they would rudely shout 'China, China, nihao' and try to scam more money. Sigh, there were still some staff members who had good attitudes and didn't discriminate. There was also a bellboy who proactively smiled and helped me; I tipped him because I felt his service was well-deserved.
In summary, that's my experience. Many Chinese tourists choose this place, roughly half of the total guests, paying the same price, but unfortunately not receiving equal treatment.
