Xana — a mixed bag for a seaside hotel bar (rating 4.3/5)
Based only on guest reports, Xana delivers outstanding views and a reliable breakfast for some visitors, but also recurring service and quality inconsistencies that matter if you care about cocktails, beach access or family lunches. This review pulls every specific detail guests reported and turns those facts into clear, practical advice.
What reviewers praise
- Breakfast gets top marks for food and the view, cited as fantastic by a recent guest.
- Certain dishes receive praise: a reviewer named the salmon fresh and very good; fries were described as acceptable.
- Facilities include a very large pool that one guest described as nice for swimming.
- Accessibility and parking appear well supported at the property level: free parking and wheelchair-accessible features are listed for the venue.
Where guests disagree — and why that matters
Expectations diverge sharply across reviews. One guest reported a breath-taking atmosphere and helpful, knowledgeable staff, while another called the place soulless and almost empty on a Sunday at 2pm. These contradicting experiences suggest the vibe shifts dramatically by daypart and patron mix. If you want people and energy, test evenings or times linked to highlighted positives instead of assuming steady crowds.
Drinks: what to watch for
A recent complaint focused on two cocktails specifically: a whisky sour and a lychee martini. The guest said drinks were served in cheap plastic glassware with a lot of ice and that the whisky sour lacked egg white. That single but specific report is a clear red flag for cocktail quality control on at least one visit; if cocktails matter, ask how drinks are served and confirm preparation before ordering.
Food and menu specifics
- Positive specifics: Russian salad and salmon were praised; four-cheese gnocchi was called bland by one guest.
- Negative specifics: a guest described the menu as uninspired for lunch, reported tough fish, and said a ham and cheese toasty used cheap ingredients; another asked for mayonnaise and waited 15 minutes.
- Portion note: a chicken shawarma wrap was described as overly large and awkward to eat.
Bottom line: some dishes are good, others inconsistent. For a safer bet, favor breakfast and the seafood items that were singled out as fresh.
Service, membership and policies
- Service impressions vary: staff have been described as warm, helpful and knowledgeable on multiple visits, while at least one guest experienced service below expectations and another noted many staff seemed timid on shift.
- Membership issue: one guest could not use their Accor platinum membership during a visit; confirm membership privileges before assuming benefits apply.
- Smoking policy: smoking is not allowed on site, including in open-air areas, forcing smokers to walk a distance to smoke.
Beach, towels and family practicality
One reviewer warned the adjacent beach can be unsafe for swimming due to wild waves. Towel management is tight: a guest was refused additional towels because a quota had already been issued to their group. For families, the kids menu was judged poor by one reviewer, so bring realistic expectations for child-friendly options.
Price and value — conflicting signals
Venue data lists Xana as expensive, yet at least one guest described prices as affordable. That contrast indicates perceived value varies with what you order and which service experience you encounter. If cost-sensitivity matters, ask about portion sizes and check whether menu items praised by others are within your budget before committing.
Quick practical checklist
- Best times to try: breakfast or late lunch/early evening based on positive notes; be cautious of Sunday mid-afternoon if you want an energetic crowd.
- Ask ahead about membership acceptance if you plan to use Accor status.
- If cocktails matter, confirm glassware and preparation (egg white for whisky sour) before ordering.
- Don’t plan on swimming in the sea; use the pool instead.
- Confirm towel policy on arrival and inspect kids menu if visiting with children.
- Payment is card- and NFC-friendly; parking and accessibility are supported according to venue data.
Final assessment
Xana can deliver a memorable seaside breakfast and an attractive poolside setting, but inconsistent food quality, spotty cocktail execution and strict towel and membership realities create genuine risk for anyone expecting reliably high-end hotel-bar standards. If you go with modest expectations, confirm a few specifics up front, and time your visit for the moments other guests praised, you’ll get the best shot at a good experience.
