The worst thing guests say

In August 2026 one guest said the service was not friendly or attentive for the price, and another said they were charged an additional couple of thousand euros over their dog. In May 2025 a guest said phones in the room went unanswered for over an hour. Several low ratings are from beach bar and restaurant visitors about drink prices, wrong orders and slow service, from 2019 to 2026. A January 2023 guest was woken by a jackhammer at 6:00 AM with no warning.
