The worst thing guests say

Several guests felt it did not match a 4-star price. In October 2025 a group of three said the standard was far below 4 stars, and in August 2025 a guest called the food and service poor for the price. In August 2024 two families with young children said the restaurant was closed at 2 PM and they were told to order delivery. Older reviews from 2019 to 2023 mention unchanged bed linen over a week, a dirty pool and website photos that did not match.

Insider tips

• Check restaurant opening hours before you arrive, since a family found it closed at 2 PM.
• Ask whether linen is changed during a longer stay.
• The beach is a 5-minute walk.
