We arrived 2am their time midnight UK time. it had been a long day travelling, the gentleman on reception was very polite but didn't speak any English. He carried our suitcases to our room which was nice as we were on the 3rd floor and no lift. The room was for two people, when I opened the door, my leg was at the base of the bed, it was so small, the bathroom was small if I was any bigger I would not have got in the shower and I am not that overweight I assure you. there was no balcony and the view was of the vents and roof top of the hotel. The next morning we went back to reception and spoke to a lovely lady who spoke really good English. She organised for us to look at 3 rooms which we picked one and moved to there, we were delighted as we thought we were going to have to argue about extra cost, but no all was good. The rooms however are very very tired, don't know who does their repairs but it isn't anyone who knows what they are doing. Broken parts of the bed side tables, toilet seat which didn't fit, lots of jobs a good handy man could sort for sure. Ladies there is no seat at the dressing table, drying your hair and make up need to be done standing, not much room in the bathroom for products either, small things could be done to make this better at a low price. The food however was not good, I am not a picky eater I usually find something to eat have never come back lighter than I went that's for sure, however the food was cold most of the time, not much choice, over cooked or under cooked, they were slow in replenishing food, they ran out of butter 2 days before we came home. No English tea could be found, we ended up going out to eat in the evenings. If you want a sun bed on the beach get up early if you want one in the sun, the beach at this time of the year is in the shade by 4pm if not sooner depending where you are sitting. The place is spotless, the people who clean are cleaning all day long they never stop. All in all we survived, had a great holiday, think the hotel could be much better with a decent handy man and a few additions like shelving, painting and chairs for the ladies for doing their hair and makeup. Hopefully Viking are going to be spending some money on upgrading the rooms as the hotel is in the perfect location.

“2 stars hotel as it is”

Poor, but for some people good option. We didn’t enjoy. Poor, very tired and low cost hotel. They ask money for safe, wi-fi, and see view, but see view rooms do not worth it.

Poor, but for some people good option. We didn’t enjoy. Poor, very tired and low cost hotel. They ask money for safe, wi-fi, and see view, but see view rooms do not worth it. Food is good, and staff at the restaurante and some guys at the reception are nice, beach is at hand (though crowded at high season). Linen is old and weared, smell in the rooms.
