St Anastasia Hotel

Could be an incredible hotel but it’s totally mismanaged and the staff is inept (I wanted to put another word but I’ll be nice). I chose this place because it looks charming on the photos and secluded with no kids. The reality is that it’s like staying in a stranger’s home and he doesn’t want you here. The maids do a good job and that’s about it. The kitchen is a complete disaster with one cook who’s overwhelmed trying to make a hundred different dishes and one waiter who doesn’t have a clue about being a waiter. Other workers are just sitting around smoking and don’t have the gumption to help the clueless waiter.

Generally felt disappointed. What I liked: - the amazing view - the nice personnel: we arrived early and they prepared the room very quickly for us - very well maintained garden and common area - parking is convinient, plenty of space What I did not like: - the website is misleading about the interior: the one we had was not the cheapest option and still was very narrow and difficult to walk inside - these are rather wooden bungalows, without any noise isolation: one can clearly hear people and pets in the other rooms - bathroom was full of black mold, no sound isolation too if you are looking for privacy - the moist inside the room can be felt and smelled - 3 of the electricity sockets were not working: I've been told this was done on purpose, to prevent issues with the system overload - no beach or swimming pool: our mistake, we should have researched better - food in the restaurant was with decent quality but way too expensive - insects are everywhere and are literally going to the eyes, mouth and nose when you walk outside - while garden is really beautifully illuminated, the light goes straight into the room: curtains are very thin, thus a challenge for those who prefer to sleep in dark environment - we found the bed and pillows very uncomfortable, but this is rather a personal preference and judgment Conclusion: too pricy for what we got
