Worth weighing

4 to weigh
  • Value score slightly lower than other categories — While still good, the Value rating is a touch below Rooms and Service, suggesting some guests may feel the price is a bit high for what they got.
  • Pets are not allowed — The hotel does not permit pets, which may be a drawback for those traveling with animals.
  • Check-in window is relatively narrow — Check-in is available from 15:00 to 23:59, so late-night arrivals may need to plan ahead.
  • Some reviews mention a limited sea view depending on room — While some rooms have beautiful sea views, others may face the mountains or inland, so not all rooms offer the same vista.
