The worst thing guests say

The most common complaints from guests are that the rooms do not match four stars, that the menu repeats, and that breakfast or dinner is limited. Several 2025 and 2026 reviews gave 3 stars, citing room standards, the repeating menu or the building. Older reviews mention noise from a diesel engine in 2024, loud party music in 2023 and a shower that would not hold its temperature in 2022. A 2024 guest also said pool access fees were high.

Insider tips

• Ask for a room away from the power equipment if noise matters.
• Check what is included before ordering half board.
• Check pool access fees for off-season stays.
