a fair experience
breakfast selectionocean viewuncovered windowslacking 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.

great selectionsea viewfriendly staffexcellent 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.
