My stay at Pearl Beach was fantastic, highlighted by an amazing sea view from my room and wonderfully clean accommodations. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel welcome throughout my visit. While I enjoyed the delicious food variety, I wish the pool had later hours for evening swims. Overall, I had a great experience here! 🌊🌞

My stay at Pearl Beach was a mix of relaxation and fun. The location right across from the sandy beach was perfect, and I loved the friendly staff who treated me like family. However, I was left wanting more from the dinner experience, especially when it came to complimentary drinks like water.

My stay at Pearl Beach was pretty solid overall. The location was excellent, right across from the beach, but the restaurant could get pretty noisy and chaotic at times. The food was tasty, especially the pancakes in the morning, though I did have to wait for some dishes to be refilled. The room was clean but definitely needed some upgrades, especially the bathroom, which was a letdown.

Rooms

The room was clean with regular sheet changes, but it felt a bit outdated, especially the bathroom. Water pressure in the shower was weak, and it took ages to rinse off. I also wished there were more drawers for storage.

Staff were generally lovely, especially at the pool bar and reception. They were helpful and friendly, but I did wish some restaurant staff would engage more with guests.

Location

The hotel has a fantastic location, just a quick stroll to the beach. It's a bit of a walk to the old town-around 25 minutes-but taxis are only 6 euros, which is super convenient.

Dining

7.0

The variety and quality of food were good, though the restaurant space felt cramped and needed better flow. Breakfast had lots of options, but dinner sometimes lacked immediate refills and the dessert selection could improve.

Facilities

6.0

The pool area was nice, though a bit chilly, and I didn't care for the early closing time. I also found the evening drinks a bit pricey. Access to the beach was a huge plus, but paying for sunbeds felt a bit unnecessary when free options were available nearby.

I enjoyed my stay at the hotel with its beautiful sea view room and a diverse breakfast selection. However, the beach service was a significant disappointment due to a rude staff member, which overshadowed some of the positives of my experience. The hotel's location near the beach and the friendly staff made my stay enjoyable overall, but the issues with the beach area certainly left a sour note. 😎
