Powered by AI
Hotel Chiqui enjoys a fabulous location right by the beach, with some rooms boasting balconies and sea views. The rooms are modern and comfortable, and some guests have been upgraded to rooms with especially nice views. Many guests appreciate the generous and delicious breakfast. While some found the room decor a bit standard, the location close to the beach and within walking distance of some attractions makes it a worthwhile choice.

i liked the sea view from the room a lot. the hotel restaurant was good, i had dinner there twice. the location is great, it is right across from the beach.
the pool didn't have parasols which wasn't great for fair skin. the breakfast offering never changed it was a bit disappointing. the hotel felt cold, even though there were radiators everywhere.

The dining room offers wonderful culinary options. The food tasted excellent. The staff were both friendly and professional. The breakfast had an extraordinary range of food. Filtered water exists on each floor and refillable water bottle provided.
The parking requires to check in prior to accessing, this is a little inconvenient. It's necessary take the lift to reach the rooms, but park requires use an outside access.

location was good. it was a ten minute bus ride to the center. there was plenty parking available on the road when the car park had no spaces. the road outside remained quiet. easy access was possible along the sea front to bars.
the room lacked tea or coffee making facilities. the toiletries seemed of poor quality. i also noticed some frayed towels.

The room had a sliding door for the bedroom. This meant I could easily maintain a cool temperature. The bathroom was also large and spacious. AMAZING!!!
I only went swimming once because there was nowhere to put my things or sit after swimming to dry off.
