Popular Pittulongu 4-star Hotels

This is NOT a 4-star hotel. The hotel policy is to charge the guests as much as possible and hide/avoid to communicate fees and restrictions. Choose another hotel where you will not get so disappointed and better value for your money. Some examples: - Sunbeds in the garden were not allowed to be used by other guests than those who had ”superior rooms”, even if no one used them. They were reserved for these rooms all the time. Lots of people, including us, were very surprised and disappointed when finding out this. - To get a pair of sunbeds and a parasol on the hotel's ”part” of the beach costs EUR 30/day! There was no information about this beforehand. - The hotel pretends it's a private beach, but it's actually a small part of a public beach only marked with two short ropes. The hotel's ”part” of the beach is maybe 30-40 meters long. - If you go to the other part of the public beach, the sunbeds are cheaper. If you walk 10 min to another beach, the fee for 2 sunbeds and a parsol is EUR 18/day ! - The public beach was cleaned every day, but the hotel didn't clean it's ”part”. Nor did the hotel clean it's garden/lawn. - The pool is very small, maybe. 5x5 meters in an oval shape, with only 7 sunbeds (!!!) for all guests (approx. 100 hotel guests). The pool area has a view over the road going between the main building and the annex and restaurant on the beach side of the road. - The (standard) rooms are quite small (no upgrade was possible to make although the hotel didn't seem to be fully booked). They are very humid; our clothes in the closet got humid and towels, bathing suits, etc. did not dry during the day or night. - Breakfast; a small buffee, tasteless juice made of concentrate, powdered eggs, tasteless cheap yoghurt, canned fruit (only melon and sometimes pinapple were fresh). The coffee machines often broke down and it took forever to make a cup of coffee. The cleaning of the room was though very good and the reception staff very friendly and helpful. I would say the hotel standard is 2,5 - 3 stars, but considering the hiding of information of additional high fees and restrictions and limitations for the guest before arrival, the value for money is poor. It's a pity since the location is very nice and it could be a very nice 4-star hotel. But the owner/management choose to be greedy. Shame on you!
