vue magnifique, hôtel superbe mais dommage de devoir payer les transats même pour 1 h. La piscine du Spa est très belle mais également payante l’avantage c’est qu’on n’est seul. Chambre très petite mais propre. Personnel agréable sauf au petit déjeuner où vous avez l’impression de les déranger.

Horrible customer service. This was our sixth time staying at the hotel within 2 years and it was my birthday. The hotel did not provide any gift upon my arrival. We had asked for a late checkout at 1pm instead of 11am three times before arrival but they did not respond. There was a big thunderstorm the day before our arrival and our flight was delayed. I had asked for a refund but they waited unusually long, almost a day, to get back to me with a No. On the checkout day, they called our room 3 times to strongly remind us to checkout. This is the experience that we received after paying €450 per night. One of their receptionists was also extremely rude to me on the phone and when I went for breakfast, he didn’t greet good morning like how he did with other guests. The room was nice but basic. They don’t have hair shampoo and conditioner (only combined hair and body gel). The private beach was nice but Wi-Fi throughout the entire hotel was very weak. Well sadly not be coming back.

I had a fantastic stay at Hotel Continental even during the offseason! Our room had panoramic ocean views. The property was well-maintained, peaceful, and had all the amenities needed for a comfortable and relaxing getaway. While it was a quieter time of year, I actually appreciated the tranquility and had a great experience exploring the area without the usual crowds. The staff was incredibly accommodating, ensuring everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. If you’re looking for a serene retreat, this place is a hidden gem no matter the season. I highly recommend it and would love to return!
