"We arrived at the hotel it seemed very disappointing from what we are used to the staff behind the reception was very cold and unwelcoming.We went to our room which again the hallways looked like something from a mental institute very white and cold the room was ok again very white nothing special the bed was like a bag of sand and no bin liners in bins but clean so that’s a bonus.The food was just awful the actual restaurant looked like an old people’s home and the food went along with it just awful there were very few labels so you never knew what you were eating and the food was recycled throughout the week really not 4 star food,it really was disgusting to the point by the end of our visit we stuck to bread and cheese.The bar was hit and miss if anyone was on there ,one night we waited ages for someone and gave up there were things on the menu they never had as they said they were end of season and the manager did not do a full order.I was shocked by lack of ice cream or lolly’s available throughout the day considering we were all inclusive I expected these to be available all day .the pools were very small and Uninviting and the pool beds were dirty and seen better days.Evening entertainment was twice and just painful so we went to our room.Towels I got to day 3 and had to go and ask for new ones they said leave them on the floor and they will get changed that never happened even used cups were just left we had to leave a note to have some milk .The positives were it was in a lovely area maybe think about the area and decide on a different hotel as this one is not a 4 star and the worst I have ever stayed in looking at previous reviews management have not changed anything from what other people have said similar so clearly they need to think about management change ."

"Great hotel, directly at the sea front. The style of the hotel takes a bit of getting used to, the term "Spartan" comes to mind. Food: excellent choice and good quality at dinner, plenty for vegetarians, too, some of the fish and meat choices are grilled for you there and then. One evening there wer large Gambas on the menu, but unfortunately no little hand wipes were available should one want to eat those Gambas with ones fingers. Drinks at dinner are soft drinks, water and wine (white, rose and red) Tinto de verano and beer, alcoholic and non alcoholic, all of which you help yourself from a machine. My husband said the beer was good, but my friend and myself found the wine rather basic, so we mixed Tinto de verano, red and rose together which proved rather nice We had a junior Suite which was large, had excellent handwash, shower gels and body lotion provided. There is a kettle and a "pod" coffee machine. We received one small bottle of water and a bottle of cava on the first day. A word of warning: on the coffee shelf there are small packets of nuts and a small packet of crisps, each of them costing €6 !!!!! The fridge was stocked with shots, beer and soft drinks all at a price though. Our junior suite had a large balcony which also went round the corner, but lacked sun loungers which I thought would have been ideal given the size of the balcony. Also there was just one arm chair in the suite, so a second one and a little table to go with them would have been nice. (There was ample room for them) The room prices vary according to their location and our friends had a "normal" room on the side of the hotel. Unfortunately there was building work going on behind the hotel and the noise echoed from the houses in the side street. The very friendly receptionist changed our friends' room to a higher floor and further to the front without extra charge. There are also budget rooms on the first floor. These rooms have no balcony and overlook a side street. On some evenings there was live music in the bar, but no indication was given, which days the entertainment was on or who was playing and what kind of music was being played. Maybe the hotel could put out a notice board with such information. The pool at the front of the hotel had sun beds rather than loungers and there was always one available at different times. People did not reserve them first thing in the morning. The pool and jacuzzi behind the hotel was deserted and there were loads of sun loungers ,little side tables and umbrellas. On the whole the hotel was excellent, the staff extremely friendly and helpful and the location overlooking the promenade (like a mini park) and the sea was ideal for strolls in either direction along the sea front."

"Absolutely loved this hotel, so much so we’ve already rebooked for next year, great food, bars, staff and spa. Room always clean and had everything you need with a great balcony with a sea few with shops at short walk away, Gabriel on the chill out bar was our favourite! So kind and always happy to chat! Can’t wait to come back"
