“Good busy hotel fabulous beach”

Renovated and tastefully decorated hotel. Lovely suite with side views, not sure why bathrooms don't have a main door anymore, but that's style I suppose. Food was OK, but very overcrowded restaurant which unexplainable had an area closed. Restaurant staff were quick and polite. Couple travelling with us changed room 3 times due to privacy and views.Reception staff helped as best they could, but could have done better. Tip: use their interactive map to check location of room before you book it. Excellent location for a fabulous beach.

“Noisy hotel”

This could be a really nice hotel with a few improvements. My 3-star rating is actually based on few but important things I found unsatisfying. First of all, noise is a theme here. If you get a room near the large lobby area, you will need a good heart for sleeping, otherwise you will find it pretty hard to rest. I got one the first night, and had very little sleep. The problem is loud music from the lobby or talking and noisy walking in the hallways. After the first night in this room I got another room far from the lobby and bar, and it helped. However talking in neighbouring rooms is heard through the overy thin walls. What should be done? New soundproof doors from the rooms to the hallway and sound insulation between the rooms. The second ting that needs improvement is entrance to the restaurant, where you have show your little tag you get around your arm wrist. This little control by the entrance can create a very long line of people trying to get something to eat. On the good side is the food in the large buffet restaurant. The food is really excellent and this is the biggest asset of the hotel. Furthermore service from the staff is fine. Would I want to return? Presumably not, but likely if I knew I could have a quiet room.

Myself and a group of ladies visit every April on golf trip. We are generally very pleased with everything in the hotel but unfortunately I felt some standards are dropping. This year there was NO air conditioning in the bedrooms and we asked several times at reception and was told they would look into it but no air conditioning was turned on. We found out later it's only switched on when temperature reaches 25° so the bedrooms were too warm for sleeping. I also felt the food was quite basic and not as much variety as previous years. Buffet style with all meals so you don't get to relax much at the table, up and down to serve yourself. You have to pay for safe €3 per day and thought this very unusual as usually free in every hotel I have stayed in. Deposit required for use of iron also (just in case you decide to bring home). Entertainment was hit and miss, acoustic night not great and guitar another flop. Nobody got up to dance on these nights so it was early to bed. Bring back ABBA and similar bands. On the plus side, lovely location, on a beautiful beach, very clean and spatious overall.
