AP Oriental Beach - Adults Friendly

"Just had a lovely 12 days at AP Oriental. The location is fabulous BUT whilst we were there the beach was a building site preparing for a big music festival in July so the noise was constant 24/7. The male staff were very helpful and the girls could learn from them. Breakfast was really nice but the evening buffet was shocking. The food was cold and tasteless. This needs addressing as there were lots of negative comments. We sunbathed in the lovely garden area and stickers for scanning for waiter service for drinks were just being put up which will be helpful. Overall, a mixed review. We were unlucky with the timing because of the noise day and night from the construction work on the beach."

"Fantastic location in very close proximity to the beach. Lovely, very spacious rooms, most with the option of panoramic sea views. Generally peaceful (in May anyway) albeit with some occasional boom-box noise from the pavement-level bar upstairs. Food very good and the selection at breakfast and dinner always had something to appeal, including a good selection of fresh seafood at dinner. We felt that all hotel staff were genuinely very friendly, and always helpful and polite. There were many individuals worthy of a special mention but to have done so would have detracted from the work undertaken by the backroom staff whose names we didn’t know. WiFi is free but sometimes unreliable. The mobile signal is pretty good though so we were able to stay connected just fine with our data plans. Our only major disappointment concerned the hotel’s rather silly rule regarding the gentlemen’s dress code for the evening meal in the restaurant. This rule stipulates, for example, no shorts or t-shirts and wouldn’t be silly if it was enforced - it never was. We subsequently learnt that basically the restaurant is open to all which includes anyone wandering in off the beach. Make of that what you will but, as Evening Dining in shorts and t-shirts doesn’t fit with our own personal taste in a 4 star hotel restaurant then we’d probably opt only for a B&B package if we ever stayed again and visit any of the many local eateries instead."

"Lovely hotel friendly staff, great facilities nice food, I was impressed as I'm a vegetarian and it catered well for that, which I've struggled in the past from other hotels that don't give a second thought, I would've given a 5 star but knocked it down to 4 star based on the fact I didn't sleep well because the duvet was way too thick as I'm a middle aged female I kept waking up feeling hot even with the air conditioning on. Location is in a quiet area 10 minutes walk to the rowdy bars which was too much in your face it seemed like they was competing with each other it would've been nice to have normal couple of bars to drink in"
