Lato Boutique Hotel

Lato Boutique Hotel

8/10 Good
"We had a nice room with a balcony and view of the harbor. We were disappointed with the breakfast. We arrived soon after breakfast had started and even so all of the hot items were cold. Cold eggs and meats the are intended to be served hot should be. It really had the potential to be an excellent breakfast as there were plenty of options. We didn’t dine at the restaurant as there were no gluten free options for me, but that worked out wonderfully as on the next block is a fabulous restaurant called Veneto 1860 Bar & Restaurant. The menu was extensive with gluten free items identified on the meal and the view was perfect of the fortress and harbor. Also if you need laundry done, there is a wonderful drop-off service across the street and a few doors down. They will even drop-off your laundry to the hotel. We were able to get same day service at a very reasonable price."

"The staff was excellent. We really like our pool view room (quiet). The included breakfast was good. We had one dinner at the hotel restaurant and it was very good. The internet is poor and the tv channels don’t have many (news outlets only) English options."

10/10 Excellent
"We had an absolutely wonderful stay at Amirandes Hotel and would highly recommend it. The hotel itself is beautiful, and our bungalow room was lovely. We especially enjoyed being able to walk straight out and look at the sea. The main pool is huge, with plenty of space to relax, and there are lots of activities available throughout the week. We particularly loved the padel, olive oil tasting and pottery making. I also had the signature massage, which was a full-body treatment. I love a massage, and this was probably one of the best I’ve ever had. The poolside team were always so smiley and attentive, regularly bringing us drinks and making us feel very well looked after. The cleaners were equally friendly, and our room was immaculate every day. We ate at the buffet most evenings, but we also visited Blue Monkey. If you are staying on a half-board basis, they offer a €20-per-person credit against the bill, which was a lovely bonus. The food there was delicious. The buffet staff were extremely friendly and attentive, and we especially loved the pancake lady! The morning team were also fantastic, taking our coffee orders as soon as we sat down. Every member of staff helped make our stay so enjoyable. We would highly recommend Amirandes Hotel and would love to return."
