the room was clean and nice the staff were excellent , breakfast was very good the poo; in the room and the sea view was wonderful ,
the restaurants were very tasty except the WOW restaurant that was very very expensive (we had to add a lot , even we paid HULF BOARD )
BONY FISH WAS EXCELLENT
BUDHA WAS EXCELLENT GOOD VIBES.
We had a lovely week at the Abaton. All the staff were really friendly and helpful particularly when on departure I discovered I had left my straighteners in the room. The staff went above and beyond to locate them…which they did.
We did half board which was really handy and the restaurants and food was amazing and in a beautiful setting. The hotel is in a great location and if you don’t fancy the pool there was plenty of beds on the beach. All in all a very restful week and the weather was gorgeous!
This property was absolutely gorgeous and perfectly placed. Easy 15-20 min walk to the downtown area. We enjoyed relaxing at the hotel, the beach was gorgeous and warm, the pool temp was perfectly maintained, the rooms were great! When we wanted to experience a more lively atmosphere we took a walk downtown and enjoyed the nightlife
This is a fabulous 5* gem, and we had a great time. Positives: Stunning hotel, extremely cleanl, lovely bedrooms with comfortable beds and showers, lovely happy friendly staff. A hotel with great ambience, luxury all neatly bundled up into a lovely package and we'll be back again soon. Also so quiet, even though the hotel was not empty. Negatives - 5 restaurants, unchanging menu, even in the main buffet restaurant, so choices were lacking by the end. Rooms were not serviced if you missed the early morning rounds. Having returned to our rooms in the afternoon/evening, our room would not have been cleaned - this didn't phase us that much. Overall: We visited end of September (after school holiday period) when the weather was turned cooler and windier. The pool was too cold to enjoy and was avoided by most guests. A regulated pool would be much better. Same for the bedroom pools - we didnt use ours as the water was on par to having an ice-dip. This was the same for many of the other rooms we could see.
Great stay.
Food very good.
Staff excellent.
Room beautifully kept.
Pools lovely and cold and refreshing
Communal areas stylish and clean
View and grounds stunning
