Bella Vista Beach Hotel and Studios

Access to the beach was close although not the best one. The bars and restaurants were close and walkable. The bus was easy to catch outside at the end of the road of the property. Spotlessly clean and an exceptional warm welcome.

When we were shown to our room i was expecting a brightly decorated room with a view of the sea as per brochure, we got a room at a different location a short walk away which was noisy and grey inside the balcony looked over an abandoned unfinished overgrown building which was not the best vista certainly not the Belle vista we were expecting. The rooms were clean but grey and basic. The shower had a curtain which did nothing, every shower flooded the bathroom area, which meant we had to wait for it to dry overnight. We slipped quite a few times. Our room safe failed to work, we did report this and it still didn't work, the girl never came back to sort it, so we left it. We were given 2 free breakfast vouchers to try which I thought was very nice touch however it was appallingly run. Staff approached us said we would have to wait until told to queue as was busy , then we would be allowed to approach a small buffet which was all cold, meats , some cheese cold hard boiled eggs and toast. It seems they cater for mainly the Russian market. And when I asked for a hot egg she said as much. Because the staff start at six in the morning cleaning, we were woken to noisy trolley being pushed, doors banging and talking. I got no rest. I was asked why I did not complain. Because I was hoping by the 3 rd day it would be quiet. And they would have not changed a thing anyway because that staff start early and finish by 12 and that is what they told me so changing rooms would have made no difference.

The location was great, near restaurants, car rental and pretty much in the center of all activities. The breakfast was simple but all you want to start the day off right.

We stayed in a room next to the reception and near breakfast area. This was pretty loud in the early morning.
