-
Are the prices always the same even if the date changes?Prices vary based on various factors which may be seasonal, day of the week, occupancy status of the hotel, promotions, particular fairs in the city and more. The advice, to see the prices, is to enter the dates of your stay and make your own comparisons.
-
Is breakfast always included?No, it depends on the rate and whether the structure is organized to offer it or not. Check carefully before booking what is included and what is not and what type of service is offered.
-
Can I make special requests?Of course, when booking you will have a field where you can write directly to the property and make your requests. These will be evaluated by the Hotel who will respond directly to you. MeTour is not responsible in this decision-making process.
-
What types of beds will I find in the room I booked?The type of bed is usually specified in the room sheet. If you have any special requests or needs you can indicate them at the time of booking by writing them in the "special requests" field which will be forwarded directly to the property. In this process MeTour is not responsible.
- What is Paga in Structural and what are Payment Pre-Authorisations?
When you book, some facilities offer the possibility of paying directly at the facility. In these cases you will simply be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the booking, but without any charge. The sum will be taken from your credit card only in the cases provided for by the policies and conditions relating to your booking. In other cases, when the Partner does not adopt automatic availability and booking systems, but confirms reservations "manually", then you will be asked to insert your credit (or debit) card to guarantee the reservation, and then be directly charged at the same time as the Partner confirms the booking (within 24-48 hours). At that moment you will receive an email with the booking confirmation and payment.
-
How do I know if my card has been pre-authorized?By consulting your credit card balance you will see that your available balance will be temporarily reduced by the amount of your booking. In other cases and depending on the policy of your credit card circuit, you may also find an entry in the monthly summary of card movements: "pending operation". The pre-authorization block, depending on the situation, will be maintained according to the policies and terms and conditions of what has been booked.
-
How can I cancel or change my booking?Easy, enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can modify or cancel your booking. Remember that changing dates or canceling with a refund request depends on the rate you chose when booking.
-
Can I transfer my reservation to another person?For this request, contact the property directly which may have a specific policy in this regard or may need further data on the person to whom you want to transfer the booking.
-
How can I get help with my booking?Enter the customer area with your credentials and from there you can contact us or by writing through our contact form specifying your booking number and the reason for the contact request. We recommend that you also leave a telephone number where you can be reached in case of need.
-
Are there taxes, local charges or extras to be paid directly on site?They are normally clearly indicated in the property sheet or added during the booking phase depending on local regulations or the facility's policies. But even if not clearly indicated, payments may be requested directly to the facility for any tourist taxes, local charges or extras not included in the rate. The advice is to read everything carefully before booking or writing to us through our contact form.
-
Are small pets allowed?It is often clearly stated in the property sheet and for this reason we invite you to carefully read their policies. Where not indicated, we invite you to contact us through our contact form for more information.

Covid 19 Reservations/Cancellations/Changes of Dates/Refunds:

For reservations made we advise you to keep in mind the risk related to Coronavirus (COVID-19) and related government measures.

Soulless place not 5 star
Not a 5 star hotel and in need of refurb/ updating. Bathroom old .Rooms lovely view and clean , just not up to the standard you would expect. Restaurant was like a factory canteen free for all! No atmosphere to the place cold and clinical. Sprawling no central hub. Would not return to this hotel.

Review dated 05 Ott 2024
Average, not 5 star.
Please don't book this hotel because it claims to be five star-it isn't, the honest opinion of a 76 year who has been travelling for 50 years plus are as follows. Firstly the pro's: 1. The hotel has a wonderful location with stunning sea views, the sunrises and sunsets from our eighth floor 'superior' room were amazing
2. The staff were outstanding, friendly, polite and helpful.
3. Convenient location on a bus route.
However
1. The hotel is dated throughout, old fashioned and badly in need of a refurb. The bathroom in our room was like something from a 70s porn set with mirrored walls and an antiquated shower head above a worn bathtub. The furniture was worn, cheap and tacky but the worst feature was the bed - it had the hardest mattress I have ever slept on which made my old bones ache so much I actually had to take painkillers each morning.
2. Breakfast was okay but the food at dinner was awful -repetitive and recycled, the same rehashed food would reappear almost every night.
3. This is a large hotel and the facilities are very spreadout, be prepared to do a LOT of walking between them and your room.
Overall, it's okay but only average - please don't book it for a special occasion, no way is it 5 star and you would be sadly disappointed.

Review dated 04 Ott 2024
Disappointing
As many have previously opined, this is not a 5 star resort. It is outdated, shabby and care worn. The only saving graces are the fantastic staff, the view and the location. The food offering was very disappointing, lack luster and often tepid or cold. When the hot question of the evening was whether the tomato soup was going to be on offer then you can guarantee your expectations are not going to be met. To add insult to injury, you were charged for water. Definitely not the Peninsular in Hong Kong or the George V in Paris. On a positive note, breakfast was acceptable. Would I return? No, not to this hotel or to the island as this was my second and final visit.

Disappointing experience - definitely not 5*
This hotel is definitely not a 5* experience.
First of all the positives:
The beds were extremely comfortable. The rooms were large with plenty of storage. Air con worked well. Beautiful views and rooms were quiet.
The bathroom towels were clean and of good quality. The shower was powerful (although not particularly user friendly being over a bath) and hot water was plentiful.
The safe was free of charge (sometimes hotels charge an extortionate amount for a facility which doesn't cost anything to run apart from a battery)
The drinks were reasonably priced.
The pool restaurant was enjoyable and seemed popular.
The pool sunbeds were comfortable and plentiful . The swimming pools were nice and it was a bonus being able to access the sea.
Suzie who was on the egg station at breakfast was a delight.
Now the negatives which unfortunately outweigh the positives:
The reception we received was not friendly - there was no welcome drink which you would expect at a 5* hotel. Staff were surly. Apart from a tiny piece of paper stating the restaurant times we were given no other information about the hotel. When we asked later about the spa, dining alternatives, timetable for water aerobics etc the information wasnt explained very well at all. There was no information in the rooms at all apart from the room service menu options.
The rooms were tired and dated, as were the bathrooms. The robes were past their best - washed out and the one which was meant to be white a dirty grey. The tea tray was poor - two or three teabags and a couple of sachets of coffee. No choice whatsoever. There was nowhere to plug the kettle in apart from on the floor. No mini bar and only one small complimentary bottle of water.
The pools themselves were nice but the area around them was just concrete. Some greenery or plants dotted around would have made such a difference. The restaurant chairs on the pool level were grubby and rusty.
The communal areas in the hotel were depressing. The decor was dark and uninspiring. The tub chairs were shabby. There wasnt really any nice place to sit together and enjoy the view. The entertainment was very uninspiring - apart from one night when there was a good trio of musicians, otherwise the atmosphere was totally lacking.
The restaurant was average. The food was okay generally. The waiting staff were not too bad at breakfast but the evening ones need some tuition. Every night without fail we had to eat our meal surrounded by the dirty plates from our previous course. There seemed to be no organisation whatsoever. Crockery and plates were dropped every night. All in all a disappointing experience - and an expensive one. There is scope to make so much more of the setting and the views but all in all the atmosphere was just depressing .
We would not recommend this hotel.
