“Stunning Location”

The 1 bedroom apartment was large enough & had good facilities for self catering.

The 1 bedroom apartment was large enough & had good facilities for self catering. The area is very steep & not suitable for older less mobile persons due to the many steps down to the hotel, beech & pool. The swimming pool is very large with lots of sunbeds, although during our stay the pool was quite dirty with lots of algae on the sides & bottom. The hotel facilities are available to the apartment guest at extra charges which is nice.....we used the Piano Bar & although expensive the staff are very attentive & professional, just as you would expect from a 5****** hotel. There is a clean beach which is split in half....Half public & the other half for the hotel. You can rent sunbeds at the same cost as hotel guests & order drinks etc via the hotel staff to be delivered to the beach. There are small motor boats for hire & the hotel will arrange excursions from the private jetty should you want this service. The surrounding areas & beaches are stunning. We recommend this place if you have a car to travel out with because apart from the hotel facilities there are no other restaurants or bars in the area. Overall we had a lovely weeks stay & would probably return when we have recovered from all the steps....LOL

“Excellent location but apartment to improve”

The location is excellent, meaning the beach and the swimming pool, and the vicinity to Palau is very convenient. The apartment on the other hand would be a 3/5, the furniture is dull, the table outside was made of plastic, the kitchen is very small, the fridge was noisy, the main window didn't hav… more

Greet location and stunning views but that's where the positives started to run dry. Nice apartment, not stunning, but no real complaints about the accommodation. Bathroom has had a revamp and is really nice, bedroom comfortable but as other reviews state kitchen and lounge area plus balcony all feel a bit tired. This hotel shares access with 5* Capo D'orso hotel but don't think for one second it shares anything else. We were told certain aspects could be used but in reality they can't. We tried to access the sea from 'their' side once and you'd think we were illegal immigrants the way we were ushered away! Did manage to get a drink at the bar one afternoon but certainly didn't feel welcome. Chose to eat in apartment or offsite the entire week so cannot comment on food facilities. Beach is in two halves. Free half, pitch on sand not beds or shades. Other side is $40, which seems to be the going rate across the island. TOP TIP - Buy a fold up umbrella for £25 form the nearest supermarket and enjoy free beach days! Pool was nice an quiet when we were there but not open all day (if lifeguard off duty). Summary Ok but let down by hospitality and exclusivity of neighbouring hotel. I didn't expect a champagne lifestyle but I didn't expect to feel quite so unwelcome.
