Very recently just returned from this hotel. We been to the area before but not this hotel, overall we were incredibly impressed. We arrived early but we were able to store our luggage, allowing us to enjoy the first few hours. We completed the self check in prior to arriving and then just got given the code to our room which was perfect not having to worry about a key card is so much easier! The room was lovely incredibly clean, beds were comfortable and sufficient storage for clothes ect we had room 2605, which was an upper floor room. The pool area is also very clean and well kept and we must give a special shoutout to Hony on the bar, she was amazing very friendly and would often come up to us on the sun loungers and offer cocktails she even brought the card machine we literally didn’t need to move. Breakfast was good, it wasn’t massively busy while we were there, could always get a table and a sun lounger no issues. If we had to be really picky we did notice that the shower did overflow slightly as couple of times nothing the towels couldn’t sort out but might be something worth looking into. But overall a great stay, so much so that we had a different hotel booked for our return visit in September and opted to switch to this one instead so we will be seeing you again soon. Thank you sholeo! :)

“Fun & friendly. All round great vibes”

A very friendly welcome & we were excited to have our room right near the pool, as in, the pathway led from our door to pool side, situated on the west side, looking out east. Room 1214.

A very friendly welcome & we were excited to have our room right near the pool, as in, the pathway led from our door to pool side, situated on the west side, looking out east. Room 1214. Perfect for morning coffee & breakfast, which we brought up to our room from the buffet. All day music around the pool started at 10am, which was annoying at first. But I got used to it and it does add to the hotel's vibe. In March there seemed to be enough sun beds for people who wanted, but you can relax on big bean bags and the hammock. The air con in the room wasn't efficient, there's a fridge in the room, much appreciated to cool down the beers. If you want to buy, our room seemed to be positioned well, right next to the bar! Rooms 1200 to 1210 are naff, no sun, no views, only of the utility cupboards! Our room was made up twice in the week, even though they say only once. You pay €10 deposit per pool towel, they were bath sheets, so great size. The food is not as good as one would hope for, don't order take out to bring back to your room. Have it plated up, and bring it back! I had vegetarian pizza - it had only courgette & carrots on it. Never had carrots on pizza before!! All in all - a great choice of hotel, all ages here, very chilled out. There's a gym & well being centre for message and yoga classes and a very friendly pigeon with crippled legs, who did poop on our breakfast table but he was lovely to chat too!!!

“Amazing place just let down by breakfast”

Very impressive. Would not say it’s suitable for families especially with young children. Very open lots of stairs (although there are ramps and lifts so accessible). Would be more suited to couples which is fine for me. Very relaxing feel and I prefer that’s it’s not like a hotel , you have your o… more

Very impressive. Would not say it’s suitable for families especially with young children. Very open lots of stairs (although there are ramps and lifts so accessible). Would be more suited to couples which is fine for me. Very relaxing feel and I prefer that’s it’s not like a hotel , you have your own apartment type room with key code entry or an app on your phone. WiFi available all over the complex and free to use safe. No kettle and no crockery supplied. But there is a small fridge. If you like your 1st or last cuppa in the privacy of your own space take a travel kettle. Pool was comfortably warm, just the right temperature to cool off from the sun. Never had an issue getting a sun bed as there are lots and also beanbag type beds and sofas with the addition of hammocks. Good value for money and very clean. Great central location. BBQ Wednesday and Saturday at additional cost pp. Only problem…… BREAKFAST, all the other hotels seem to have it off to perfection coffee machines all in one place, toasters in one place these are where you expect to wait. Hot food together, cold together so you can go to either, it works. The breakfast is done canteen style. There is nowhere to rest your tray so you’re mostly one handed and loads of people dropped them in the week we were there. There is one separate coffee machine next to the bar for just a top up at breakfast locked away after breakfast, and a toaster on the bar for gluten free ( but people were using it for normal bread because of the queue !) In this order, You queue to get bread, then the toasters ( only 2 ) Next coffee (1 machine) and juice. Then cold salad and cereal, then cold meats and cheese. You finally get to the warm (just) cabinet where there is only boiled eggs the hot ham which is bacon in Spain, and scrambled eggs. Never once saw a sausage of any kind. All only lukewarm so by the time your sat down everything is cold. I tried moving up the line as I only wanted hot but from the looks I got and the very little room to pass I did not try this again. I ended up getting tins of beans from the shop next door, setting them going in the microwave while I queued for toast, left the queue, grabbed my beans and made it to a table with a hot breakfast. If you forget something beware of hostile looks from the others waiting in the queue. Long and short it would be an amazing place if this was addressed. Going back in April and really hoping that they have sorted this, if so I will definitely be going back again,
