“SUPER CLEAN & GREAT LOCATION”

Spotlessly clean apartment in an ideal, peaceful location. The road ends with an overflow car park for the hotel, so only hotel traffic. Impressed that we could go to the pool at 11am and still plenty of sunbeds available. Short walk down steps to the gorgeous beach. Lots of fabulous restaur... more

Spotlessly clean apartment in an ideal, peaceful location. The road ends with an overflow car park for the hotel, so only hotel traffic. Impressed that we could go to the pool at 11am and still plenty of sunbeds available. Short walk down steps to the gorgeous beach. Lots of fabulous restaurants within walking distance. We hope to see you again soon.

“Lovely public areas but the apartment was pretty grim!”

We stayed in one of the ‘traditional’ apartments. I found the apartment size to be great. The kitchen area was very clean & so were all the plates, cups, glasses etc… However…..the bathroom was awful! It was dark, dated & had no window or extractor fan which meant that it smelt damp all the time.... more

We stayed in one of the ‘traditional’ apartments. I found the apartment size to be great. The kitchen area was very clean & so were all the plates, cups, glasses etc… However…..the bathroom was awful! It was dark, dated & had no window or extractor fan which meant that it smelt damp all the time. There was also a stale smell of urine as the toilet appeared to have a bit of a slow leak. Housekeeping was not good either! We started the week with female cleaners which were great but then make cleaners started coming & honestly, they were useless!! Just did the bare minimum & left. There was a huge TV in the lounge & it had loads of English channels which was perfect when we had a couple of drizzly mornings. We stayed half board. The breakfast was fantastic! So much choice. Dinner was also good but it appeared to have a weekly menu & as we stayed for 12 nights we found it quite boring having the same meals second time around…. I have to follow a gluten free diet & found the main dining room very good. Everything was labelled & there was always at least one gluten free dessert. At breakfast there was always a gluten free cake available which was amazing & something I’ve never experienced anywhere that I’ve travelled to. I was so impressed! The poolside restaurant was a huge disappointment as apart from salad there was nothing gluten free for me. No chips, no rice, no potatoes. Nothing!! I was very disappointed. Because of this my family went out to eat pretty much every afternoon. I was also disappointed with the fact that the hotel sells tiny 330ml bottles of water for €1.50! These bottles are for children under 5 - NOT grown adults! The restaurants on the beach sold 500ml bottles for the same price so we just went there or bought some from the supermarket. Evening entertainment was horrendous! The worst we’ve seen by far….. We would’ve purchased more drinks from the bar if it had been something worth watching…..but instead we just went back to our room. I should also add that the furniture on the balcony was old & filthy!! That wouldn’t be acceptable in a hostel - never mind a 3 star hotel. I’ve scored this review 4/5 but in all honesty a 3.5/5 would’ve been more appropriate. The views of the beach are really what sells this hotel. I did enjoy myself but I definitely wouldn’t return,

“Family summer break”

First family holiday after Covid lockdowns and restrictions. Overall it was a good break. A few negative sides but it's the same as anywhere due to personal preference. Would recommend family with kids and couples looking for quietless in the evening. Still able to get somewhere noisy within walking distance if fancy.

The hotel is set in lovely well kept grounds has a beautiful view and the pool area kids park games room pool bar main bar (a little expensive) lots of steps to the beach and everything is lovely and clean all the time. It is up a graduated steepish hill with lots of other 3 hb hotels . The resort is quiet with a few restaurants bars down the hill towards the beach 10 15 min.away.Maybe not enough choice to eat out for two weeks I feel. the resort lacked supermarkets that you didn’t have to walk for at least 15 min to and the intermarche was half empty. the hotel has a small shop which was expensive but it’s not stocked enough for so many self catering apartments. On arrival at 12 lunch time they advised we could not get in our room till 4 which is a bit late I feel . When we went back we were given a room in block 5 on the fourth floor ,there is no lift so thats 8 steps x 2 flights times 4 floors which totals 64 steps . With 3 suit cases so if your not super fit this is hard work. and I did feel as the week went on I got more fit but it did mean you didn’t really want to keep going up and down through out the day. In the heat. The hotel room is basic but very clean and had a big balcony air con was only in the living room ,not in the bedroom that had a ceiling fan which didn’t do a lot. The kitchen was adequate but they need more glasses that are not tiny and bowls to put in the microwave. I didn’t want to cook much but the equipment didn’t really work for us to make something simple. We enjoyed the pool and the grounds it’s quiet and beautiful which we enjoyed but maybe back ground music for a bit every now and again not all day would have been nice as it lacked atmosphere at times .also maybe opening the upstairs main bar in the day earlier with aircon to get out the heat. the hotel would be better half board as the option to do self catering was not ideal with the option of a kitchen . Or you need a car and are prepared to drive everywhere. We liked the fact that you got pool towels and the safe was free of charge free wifi which on the balcony and in the living room was pretty good and ok round pool etc. nice touch keeps a teenager happy. Summary -we had a lovely time but will probably not return as it did not quite work for us If your not pretty fit or have walking issues or are disabled maybe this is hotel is not for you and if you have a bulky buggy with sleeping kids what would you do with it on all the stairs ,it was not obvious at a glance how a disabled person would navigate around the grounds and was not stated clearly on booking so could be a unwelcome surprise for some people.
