아방 마르 파로스

My rating is an average of 5 stars for the staff/service and 1 star for the room (there's no 0 stars which is what the rooms deserved). The staff was friendly, attentive, and eager to help. They responded to the WhatsApp chat very quickly and did a good job a of arranging reservations and transportation for us. But there's no reason a hotel room should be that small. I was at a holiday inn express in Hong Kong 6 weeks ago that was bigger than the Avant Mar room. They don't lie about it, they tell you upfront that the room is 26m, but a 'luxury' hotel should not even offer a 26m room. If the hotel was on the corner of 5th Avenue and 57th st. in Manhattan, I could understand. But in the middle of nowhere how much money in land could you actually be saving by squeezing so many rooms onto such a small parcel of land? Unnecessary. The room doesn't have a bathroom, it has a shower that they somehow shoved a toilet and sink into. When you're brushing your teeth, you're brushing your teeth in the shower. When you're using the toilet, you're using the toilet in the shower. It's just a showerhead in the middle of the room. When you go to brush your teeth an hour after showering your feet are wet because then entire 'bathroom' floor is wet because you're brushing your teeth in a shower. When you're using the toilet your feet get wet from the shower water. When you shower you soak your toiletry case because the countertop is 24 inches from the shower head - EVERYTHING gets wet when you shower. It's so small that when you shower you have to put the tiny garbage can in fronlnt of the toilet and when you want to use the toilet you have to move the garbage can to underbthe showerhead. You can't live out of your suitcase because there's not enough floor area to lay the suitcase down. The 'closet' is 1 small shelf below the hanging clothes. So we had to stack 2 people's clothing 10 layers high to get it all in. And then the 2 suitcases sit literally in the doorway for the rest of the trip because that's the only floor area in this shoebox they call a room. You're dodging suitcases every time you walk in and out of the room. The pool and pool area were great. We ate at the Nobu restaurant one night and that was fabulous. The breakfast sad a bit sad. There was no buffet, just bread and butter and jam and the breakfast menu was very limited. But the orange and Grapefruit juice they serve at breakfast was probably the best I've ever had.

We really enjoyed our 3 nights here. The room was small but suitable for us since we travel carryon luggage only(no storage space). Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was very small with weird setup with shower not enclosed so showering meant flooding bathroom. Anna and her staff were all very hospitable and willing to help with anything. Included breakfast was good. Beach chair setup was nice and good service there and at pool. Easy short walk into Nauossa, many shops and restaurants.
