a fair experience
breakfast selection ocean view uncovered windows lacking housekeeping
i enjoyed the breakfast selection. it had a lot of variety. the views from the room, pool and lobby let you see the ocean from pretty much everywhere. i do think this aspect is picture perfect and very nice.
the curtains do not cover the windows properly. daylight woke us up early every morning and it was a problem for multiple rooms. the housekeeping missed some spots too. i saw my daughter's marks on the mirror that stayed there the whole time.

The hotel gardens were well kept and manicured. The beaches offered many lovely sunbeds, both singular and double, at a good price. The hotel is located outside the main town, so a taxi or a thirty-minute walk is necessary.

excellent stay at this hotel
great selection sea view friendly staff excellent housekeeping
abaton is a beautiful hotel. restaurants offer a great selection of food and drink for everyone. all the staff were friendly and helpful i liked buddha bar and the housekeeping staff. our thalasso sea view room was spacious and clean. housekeeping was there twice a day the hotel, gardens and beaches are well maintained. the hotel is outside of town so a walk into the main town takes thirty minutes or you can take a taxi.
every morning i woke up at 7am because the daylight came into the room. the curtains do not cover the windows properly so the light streams in, and i used pillows to try to block it. i complained a lot, but the only answer was to give us more pillows.
