Excellent throughout. Close enough to enjoy the city center (15mins by car) and beach (20mins by car), without getting caught up in the hustle and bustle of crowds. Exceptional staff, both caring and informative.

Nice room with surprise second floor snug. Location was remote, more than expected, with roads/streets not pedestrian friendly. Gym very well equipped, but cannot see why not open earlier or later than 7:30am to 7:30pm. A/C turned off overnight and so too hot in the morning. Restaurant limited in choice of foods, but free shuttle to Oritigia is good. Needed to eat out on most nights and not always preferable. Appeared to be staff limited, with people not available at pool bar or Gym/Spa at all times. Check out was just transactional.
