Vila Arial

I had a really pleasant stay in this lovely room. It was clean, comfortable, and had a warm, welcoming feel that made it easy to relax. They served good breakfast too. The location was great, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what I …

We had a lovely stay. We were accommodated in Vila Anel, a second building in the complex. Initially, we had an apartment that we hadn't booked (it lacked a balcony), but this was changed after two nights. The spacious apartments were clean, the kitchenettes were poorly equipped but functional. The beds were a bit worn. The staff were consistently very friendly and attentive. Breakfast cost €5 per person and was very tasty and plentiful. Overall, very good value for money.

The lofts are truly beautiful! Spacious, very cozy! Everything you need is there! We even had a washer and dryer! That was a lifesaver, as we arrived in October and the weather was a steady 22-24°C, but the laundry wouldn't have dried that quickly. Really great! Comfortable and, above all, CLEAN beds, floors, and bathroom. Everything is very modern. A great kitchen with a clean refrigerator. Even a smart TV and a large sofa! (See video) For breakfast, you have to walk about 200 meters around the corner from the small loft complex to the Arial Hotel rooms. But it all belongs to the same landlord! There, everything is freshly served to your table in the courtyard or winter garden: a plate with a fried egg, sliced cucumber and peppers, a piece of feta, and a basket of white bread. A jug of milk, a jug of orange juice, a bowl with a packet of sweet spread, and a plate of fried pancake-like "bread" (supremely delicious). You could always get as much fresh coffee and tea as you wanted from a small counter! It's great to have everything freshly served to your table every morning. Even though we're total buffet fans, it was always far from strangers messing around with the food beforehand. If we ran out of milk or the delicious fried "bread," you could easily ask for more. Everything was brought immediately! It's a shame that with so much charm and ambiance, breakfast was somehow the same every day. No sausage or cheese, which was kind of okay, as you still felt full but not overeaten (which you do quickly). Still, we would have liked some variety and (or fresh) fruit. Well, that would have been too boring for two weeks. But all in all, it was really nice there. One point deducted, however, is the location of the lofts. You sometimes feel like you're walking in the middle of a ghetto. To get directly to the beach, you have to cross the main road and past some pretty ruins and a lot of trash. And there was so much trash on the beach too... It's a real shame. However, if you walk up the street to the right of the loft complex into the city center (20 minutes on foot, 10 minutes by car), you'll find a really great beach and amazing views. With the sun and palm trees, everything feels like a version of Miami!
