TL;DR
Quality varies widely: some hotels fix issues promptly (leaks, room changes), others ignore complaints like no hot water for 7 days. Standard rooms typically include AC, fridge, hairdryer, and TV.
The hotel has a villa where guests are sometimes moved at no extra charge. It is located about a 10-minute walk from the main building — availability can be checked at reception.
Based on guest observations, the hotel appears to deliberately assign less desirable rooms (lower floors, view of a fence) while keeping better rooms (4th floor, sea view) empty, apparently hoping guests will pay to upgrade.
Construction work was ongoing at the hotel in June. One guest was only relocated after a prolonged dispute and involvement of the tour operator.
A room upgrade to pool view was granted without any fuss — just asked at reception and they agreed immediately. During peak season the hotel fills up, so it's worth checking room change options early.
After being moved to a different floor, there was no hot water for 7 days straight. Staff showed no concern and ignored complaints. A separate issue: staff entered rooms without knocking, which was very uncomfortable.
A city-style hotel with no large grounds — just a pool and bar area. Checked in mid-May when the hotel was about 20% full: quiet and spacious. The room had a ceiling leak, but after declining a room change, staff repaired it on the spot. Standard rooms come with AC, fridge, hairdryer, and TV. Food is tasty and home-style, but meat options are limited to minced (meatballs, stuffed eggplant) and chicken — no cuts of meat or seafood.
