Positive Reviews
positive:
Very nice pool and terrace
The huge pool terrace was by far what guests most appreciated about Kentia. They described it as the perfect place to relax and catch a few rays of sun. Or perhaps take a quick refreshing dip after a long hot day on the beach.
positive:
Very friendly and accommodating staff
Again and again guests commented on just how friendly the staff were. But beyond that, they were also described as willing to go the extra mile to try to make sure their guests had everything they needed for their holiday.
positive:
Good bars and restaurants nearby
While most guests found the food at the hotel to be quite acceptable, many had not opted for full board, and were happy to find that there plenty of great restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Very awkward Wi-Fi
Guests did not seem very happy with the Wi-Fi at all. For a start, there was a lot of confusion about whether it was free, or attracted a charge, with the rules unnecessarily complicated. Secondly, once logged out one would need to physically log in again, which guests found most frustrating.
negative:
Not enough sun beds
A couple of guests travelling during the busy months report that they had trouble securing a sun bed when required. There did not seem to be enough for the number of hotel guests, and there was also the contentious issue of others “reserving” them with complicated towel placements.
negative:
Beach a bit too far for some
While the beach is described as being about 15 minutes away on foot, this was too far for some who felt that it meant they couldn't just pop there and back when they wanted to.
