This hotel is beautiful, nothing is too much trouble, the breakfast is lovely , the pool is fantastic, and everything is spotlessly clean. The only downside is the price of the pool side bar for drinks , way to much
Second visit to Essence Boutique this year.
The staff were amazing as usual. Great chilled vibe. Lovely relaxed breakfast experience.
We love the pool area. No mad dash for sunbeds
Can also recommend the massages!
Stayed 5 nights. Very helpful staff on reception (thank you Patricia for all your help pre-arrival and during my stay), and in the restaurant. Extremely clean, modern hotel and room. Minibar prices very reasonable. Breakfast was excellent (although no porridge). Buffet dinner was smaller compared to the larger hotels I usually stay in, however, it had a broad selection of food which was of a very high quality - top end… I looked forward to the dinner each evening. Also, a very good selection of budget to high quality wines at reasonable prices.
There is a rooftop bar but it’s only open certain days.
The pool is relatively small but the temperature of the water is perfect - cool and refreshing but it doesn’t take your breath away on entering like some hotel pools. Nice sunbeds, and food and drink waiter service around the pool. Never a problem finding a free sunbed.
The gym is very small with only three items of cardio equipment. The hammam steam room is open for one hour per day (4pm) - it’s just ok, not too steamy.
Great hotel location, only 2 minutes walk to the beach front. And 8-10 minutes to the shopping centre and Nogalera Square with its bars and restaurants.
In summary, I was very impressed by the hotel, the cleanliness and high quality service and room comfort. Even though I prefer a hotel with a good gym, I intend to return for another short break in the coming month.
Quite simply , wonderful. Very friendly staff , lovely relaxing pool area. Great choice for breakfast.
Great hotel near beach. Brilliant air con and clean rooms. Cosy beds and lovely pool and staff.
