Amarildo Essence Hotel

amazing view, clean and comfortable, good location, spacious

shower - the whole floor was wet after showering

Bright and airy with lots of natural light but good curtains for night time. Plenty of space and in a good location with covered parking just a 5 minute walk from the heart of the action on the beach front. Responsive host. I had been previously worried about the air con not being available in the bedrooms as mentioned in other reviews but I would happily confirm that the apartment was pleasantly cool in even 35 degree heat and we were not uncomfortable at all but you would need to leave bedroom doors open at night. I would happily stay here again. The host lent us a beach umbrella. There was also a cleaning done every other day and plenty of toilet paper.

clean,cozy and great staff! would recommend a minimum of 5 days in Himare!

It was not what I expected. The photos in the listing and the title are misleading. You see pictures of an apartment and the title says “hotel,” but in reality, you don’t get the services of either. The bathroom is quite chaotic—be prepared to clean up after every shower, as the whole place gets wet. In the kitchen, there is no stove or microwave, since it’s not actually a hotel as advertised. The access road is also very poor, almost off-road, with many cars blocking the way. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend this stay. That said, the host’s kindness and attentiveness were undeniable. Still, for the level of comfort expected during a holiday, the place falls short.
