Listed as a 4* Hotel, I would say it makes that rating, room bathrooms maybe need a facelift but otherwise we had a great stay, beds very comfortable, we had a sea view suite (434) so lots of room. We went B&B and breakfast was plentiful and tasty, I can’t comment on other meals as we went out every day but looked nice. Staff very friendly and helpful, even the room cleaner had a smile everyday. Reviews say towels left on sun beds but we didn’t see that and always got a couple regardless of time we went down. If I had to find a negative, prices at the pool bar are a bit steep. Great Hotel & staff, already planning return next year. Well done Viking. Simon & Helen

Room rating overpriced
Ended up having a great week due to the area and the beaches . Basically we were offered an upgrade and had to pay 300 euros more to be put into what was called a Superior room which basically turned out to be the floor above were we had booked . What is not made clear is any room that you see in the picture of the hotel facing the sea is a suite anything else is side view or the other side by the front door garden view .I was under the impression we would be front facing the sea after a conversation with the hotel via whattsap when really it was never going to be there .Side view is where we were put and fortunately had an amazing view of Eco Beach well worth a visit but do not be fooled into booking more for these rooms as all side view had this view and the same generic layout as shown all over the website. Save you money and just book a side view room as the 300 euro extra we paid to be on the next floor made our holiday get off to a disappointing start and we felt cheated. The rooms have a kitchenette however no utensils, plates etc or even cutlery were provided . We muddled through but feel after paying nearly 2000 euros there should off been more on offer.The hotel was acceptable but in parts in need of modernising and general maintenance needed in the room we stayed in .

Terrible ... not a 4 * ... not even close
The hotel claims to be a four-star property, but it barely deserves two stars. The only positive aspects are its location and the beautiful view from the pool. The hotel itself is old, poorly maintained, and has an unpleasant smell. The rooms are very uncomfortable and not properly equipped for a comfortable stay.
The location, the view, and the friendly staff are the only redeeming qualities. Aside from that, the experience was terrible.

Great stay !
Very friendly welcome to the hotel by all staff. On our first night we discovered a leak in our bathroom and was moved to another room the next morning with no hesitation. My daughter unfortunately was ill whilst on holiday and the hotel staff were very good at giving advice as to what medical treatment we could opt for. In the end we opted for a doctor to come to the hotel to treat my daughter. The dr arrived within a Couple of hours and was able to treat my daughter. Thank you to the staff who facilitated this. This hotel is very relaxed, we only had breakfast at the hotel and ordered snacks from the bar at lunchtime. Everything was tasty. The hotel was very clean and spacious. Although the hotel is little out of the way we never had any trouble ordering a taxi to take us to our location. The beach’s beside the hotel are little gems. I would definitely come back to this hotel for a relaxed chilled stay with friendly staff.
