To positives; Nice grounds, I was there in winter so place was relatively dead, not many restaurants open etc. But it was nice to walk to 2 beaches very close buy. Nice morning buffett THe negative: This is supposed to be a non smoking in the rooms hotel(not sure how well this was enforced) but apparently allowed to smoke on balconies. If I had known that I probably wouldn't; have stayed there. My room had not been smoked in but the ventilation system would bring smoke into the room from apparently adjacent rooms.I am highly sensitive to cigarette smoke so I requested a room change that was granted so that was nice. But haviing to deal with the smoke temporarily was definitely a negative for me.

This is an older resort that has been well cared for and updated. It is only a few steps from a beautiful beach. Be aware that you need to establish a line of credit with the front desk if you want to charge things to your room.

A really lovely place to stay. Our room, on the top floor, had wonderful sea and coastal views. Great walks to the beaches and plenty of sunbeds in the gardens. Indoor and outdoor pools. Great staff too. We had one silly problem as, on day one, their credit card system would not work so our purchases of drinks was not recorded! Eventually they did get it to work.

Loved every minute

Loved it here. Our room was spotless, serviced every day and very well equipped. Paid extra for sea view and so pleased we did. The location was stunning and within a few minutes walk of excellent beaches and restaurants. The hotel food was really good too. Without exception all the staff were friendly and welcoming. Would come back in a heart beat.

Good for price

Overall our stay at the Pentasa was good. The breakfast had a good selection but you need to go early if possible to avoid waiting for a table. The location was good and easy access to the beach providing you have no mobility issues. The indoor pool was great especially as we had a particularly rainy day but the pool could do with being a few degrees warmer as I found it uncomfortable. The steam room was lovely. The rooms could do with a bit of an update in decor, we had the superior suite which had a queen size bed and roll out bed from under the sofa. This was comfortable enough for my daughter but you could not sit comfortably on the actual sofa itself. Our fridge did not close properly but was not an issue for us as only stored drinks in this. The kitchenette was basic but again had no need to use this. The view from our room was lovely. For the price I paid I thought it was good. I would return again but would like to see some improvement to the rooms. It would also be nice to be provided with a do not disturb sign for the door to avoid being disturbed by the cleaning team when you showering etc. Also only on street parking available.
