Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mixture of good and not so good points. The location is excellent, close to everything in Bocagrande, making it convenient to explore the area. However, the rooms had a musty smell and were full of mosquitoes, which was quite unpleasant. The service provided by the staff was satisfactory, but some areas like housekeeping and laundry need improvement. The dining experience offered healthy dishes, which was a plus, but the facilities could use some enhancements. Overall, it was an average stay considering the value for money.
Despite the convenient location close to everything in Bocagrande, my stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms, while tidy and spacious, unfortunately had a musty smell and were invaded by mosquitoes. The service provided, including housekeeping and laundry, was satisfactory. The dining experience focusing on Greek traditional products was a pleasant surprise. However, the facilities in the hotel did not meet all expectations.
