Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a prime location just a couple of minutes from the beach and within walking distance to local restaurants. The staff was incredibly warm and welcoming, making for a pleasant stay. However, the dining options were a letdown, particularly during dinner, which lacked freshness and variety. The pool area was on the smaller side and often crowded, making it less enjoyable than expected.
The Smartline Mediterranean has its ups and downs. While the rooms are clean and equipped with decent amenities like fridges, the dining experience falls short, particularly regarding the quality and temperature of the food. The staff were welcoming, but some instances of service inconsistency left a sour note. Overall, it’s an affordable option if you’re looking to chill out, but be prepared for the dining to be a bit lackluster.
I just returned from a stay at the hotel, and while there were many highlights, a few issues stood out. The cleanliness and overall maintenance were commendable, and I enjoyed the convenience of the nearby beach. However, the dining experience left much to be desired, especially for someone looking for a variety in evening meals. Overall, it was a pleasant stay, though there's room for improvement.
