Reviews
Hier is de aangepaste review: We stayed here for several nights, and to be honest, it was a bit disappointing overall. The one real highlight is the hotel’s location, which is excellent. The rooms are decent, but the shower only had cold water. We reported this several times, and each time we were told, “It’s fixed, sir, you can take a warm shower now.” Unfortunately, that was never the case. The staff at the reception seemed uninterested and not particularly welcoming. On the other hand, the breakfast staff were very kind, friendly, and made a much better impression. The food in the restaurant was also quite disappointing. Most of the dishes lacked flavor and didn’t live up to expectations. The only exception was the pizza, which was actually very good. Overall, it’s an outdated hotel in a great location.
I had a fantastic stay at Odjo D'Agua Hotel! The central location made it easy to walk to shops and restaurants. The hotel features several well-maintained pools and direct access to a beautiful private beach. I always felt well taken care of, with attentive staff and multiple dining options. Safety is a top priority here, which added to my peace of mind. Overall, my experience was delightful, and I look forward to returning!
Good hotel in a very good location. Nice selection at breakfast and you couldn't ask for a better view whilst you're enjoying it. All sunbeds and pools are open to residents at no charge. An arm band is provided at check-in to stop confusion. We had a "sea view" room and weren't disappointed. The picture is taken from the chairs directly outside the room. The reception and bar staff are welcoming, speak many languages and are happy to help at any point through your stay. A big thank you to the cleaner's who provided fresh bedding, towels and everything else we needed every day, whilst being so subtle we hardly noticed them coming in and out. I'd happily recommend this hotel to anyone. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Super professional experience from start to finish. The space was spotless and very clean, which made me feel comfortable straight away. Tania took the time at the beginning to check for any allergies or sensitivities to products, which I really appreciated. The massage itself was excellent — I booked 30 minutes but it honestly felt closer to 45, without feeling rushed at all. At the end, she also gave thoughtful recommendations tailored to my needs. Great value for money (30€ for 30 minutes) and I would definitely recommend.
