10/10 Exceptional

We had a late arrival to the Hotel, early hours of the morning. The night staff were expecting us and efficient. Room and areas were clean and in good order. Breakfast was excellent and staff very efficient. A good experience, good value and very happy with.
Yvonne, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very clean hotel. Also still plenty of hand sterilising stations all working. My only real comments are that the lifts required patience, made slower by still only advising one family group at a time. However this was our 2nd visit, last time was 2019, and if I could get a flight we'd be back there again next week!
7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Had a really nice stay here no complaints about anything at all apart from the fact that we were unable to keep our room and there is no shower room, you have to shower at the pool area in an open space and no room to then get ready in then have to put your wet swim wear in the case, but other than that we had a great time and happy with the rooms. Food and cleanliness
Elen Mair, 7-night trip

8/10 Very good

Wasn’t happy not coffee or tea making service
John, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The location it's close to the beach. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner they are good and the hotel staff very friendly and happy to help. What I dint liked, the hotel acoustic isolation it's horrible, you can hear each side and upper floor neighbours, I slept with ear plugs, otherwise it’s was impossible to sleep. Other negative point was the swimming pool responsible/lifeguard, every day he tried to close the swimming before the 8pm closing time. One day he tried to convince our kids to leave the swimming pool early...what an unwise attitude.
Belmiro, 7-night trip

6/10 Good

good in general

In general terms my experience was good, it has an excellent location, customer service and good food. I feel disappointed with the issue of cleanliness, we were in the hotel for a week, and we realized when they cleaned the room that they were doing a very superficial work. Another point that disappoints is the pool, because they open it very late (11 am), according to the explanation they gave me it is because of the noise. Something that does not make sense since at that time all the guests have already passed through the dining room (the dining room It is open until 10:30)
