A disappointing stay at a once fashionable hotel trying to maintain its past glory.
There was a time when distressed, shabby-chic furniture was an acceptable look, but when it matches the distressed and shabby state of the room it must be time to change.
My ‘deluxe’ (sic) room #211, apart from a comfortable bed, has few redeeming features to warrant the €370+ stated tarrif.
There is no evidence of overall care to repair the chipped, damaged dated paintwork and furnishings or even to hang the curtains correctly on the rail.
The bathroom suffers from not looking very hygienic – with cracked and stained? flooring (not a good look in a bathroom), water damaged, rotting woodwork and a very unappealing bath/shower with a faulty shower, together with low quality towels and toiletries. It is easily surpassed by an IBIS or a rural LOGIS.
I did not try the restaurant, having been frightened off by the low standard of the lunch served at the pool bar.
At €14, it is hard to imagine such an ill conceived and badly presented dish as ‘Like a ratatouille’ (not) being served in a French restaurant. This comprised - half a very small aubergine, partially scooped out and griddled, with 3 small cubes of feta and a scattering of chopped white lettuce (iceberg I think, certainly not mache, mesclun or frisse) with no dressing or a hint of those wonderful, traditional Mediterranean flavours.
A full refurbishment of this hotel accommodation is long overdue, or an acceptance to reduce its rating.
