Reviews and Ratings
I had an unforgettable stay at the hotel, with breathtaking views of the sea and a serene atmosphere. The rooms, although a bit cold, provided all the essentials needed for a cozy stay. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable experience. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, just a short walk from town and the stunning Karraspio beach. The dining experience offered tasty meals overlooking the sea. The facilities were adequate, enhancing my overall stay.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel overlooking the sea in its beautiful garden setting. The rooms were spacious, with a lovely double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen area, and a large sitting room in a glass veranda. The service was exceptional, the location stunning, and the dining experience delightful. However, the price was a bit higher than expected, and the lack of some facilities was noticeable.
The apartment was spacious, with a lovely veranda that provided plenty of room both inside and out, making it perfect for what we desired. It was an easy walk to town. The double bedroom, bathroom, kitchen area, and large sitting room in a glass veranda were great features. The service was very helpful and went the extra mile to meet our needs. The location, attached to our apartment, offered a stunning view from the sun loungers overlooking the beach and island, making it spectacularly beautiful. The dining, although a bit basic, offered tasty options. Overall, a great choice for a stay in Lekeitio.
