Bellevue Hotel & Resort

It was written that it has an own beach just for guest which was our main criteria for booking since we were looking for some calm beach experience, but unfortunately they only provided deck chairs & umbrellas at a public beach where lots of people were (which is not a big problem actually, but it was just not what we have expected) - especially many thai women providing unhygienic massages. Please be careful in the water! There were lots of jellyfish around the beach as we walked around the water. The hotel itself is a small but very cozy one with super friendly employees! We have booked a room with balcony and seaview (in the 3rd floor, but you could not really see the sea, but the pool and the other guests eating at the terrace). The best way to reach the hotel is by car since the area is a very small quiet place. Most of the guests were Russians with many children. The breakfast was rich with live cooking (pancakes, etc) outdoors and good coffee. BTW, you have to pay 5€ extra to have them change your beach-towels daily, so make sure to keep them clean if you plan to use them.

We arrived at Hotel Bellevue, it looked pretty with white plants up the stairs and surrounded by trees. Greeted by staff who checked if our room was ready and offered us a drink outside, very relaxing with smooth jazz background music. The reception staff kindly took our bags to our room - when we got into the room we were a bit shocked and disappointed. We had also been told we had been upgraded to a sea view room... The bedroom was very outdated and small but yet the bathroom was modern. We couldn't even see the sea, just the trees and the pool (which was still pretty). We asked if we could upgrade as it wasn't the photos we had seen in the brochure or online of modern bedrooms.. We were told that they were the executive rooms in the other building and would need to pay more to upgrade. We didn't upgrade but still had a pleasant stay at the hotel. There were quite a few families with young children/babies and also couples. This hotel is appropriate for a relaxing stay by the pool and beach. If you would like to explore you either need your own car or use public transport/taxis. My friend and I are in our 20's and were looking for a mix of relaxation and being able to go to restaurants and bars. We felt really far away from nightlife, would often use the bus to go out to the town and then get taxis back to the hotel. It seemed safe for us.

We've been here the second time. The hotel is very clean and lovely. The pine trees, the pool, and the dune make for a very beautiful panorama. The sea is also just 1 minute away (across the dune) and there are free chairs/umbrellas for hotel guests. I would say it's perfect for quiet couple vacation (also with small kids). The reason why I gave a "low" room comfort rating is because a) the rooms are rather small, and b) because I really dislike the typical Italian "one thin sheet instead of a proper blanket" approach. Even when it's warm, I prefer a cozy and comfortable blanket over a sheet. This is just a small dent though and overall, this is a clear recommendation and surely not the last time we've been there.
