    Our air conditioning did not work. It thankfully wasn’t too hot yet and we just kept the windows open. If it had been hotter this would have been a huge issue. I also didn’t like that you couldn’t charge bar items to the room. The breakfast is chaos and not good.

    Our room was gorgeous and faced the sea. We had chaise loungers on our balcony which was great for tanning and relaxing. You can just open your windows and hear the waves. The rooftop is also gorgeous although the bar wasn’t open yet when we stayed. The front desk staff was very nice. Parking is an added bonus.

    We stayed as a treat for our 30th Wedding Anniversary. The staff were lovely and made us feel really special. It was clean, well organised, very calm. Lovely facilities -great breakfast selection. I particularly enjoyed sitting outside watching the world go by the seafront! Great location.

    We was offered a free upgrade to our room which came with a balcony view over the sea front and a bottle of bubbly with fruit. The room and bed was very comfortable the addition of a small fridge was appreciated. The breakfast was ver good with a massive variety to suit most tastes. Gated car parking was secure and very close to the hotel.

    The walls were paper thin.

    The room was clean and towels soft. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location was perfect, didn’t need a car to go to the beach or food store. The view to the beach was beautiful!

    Swimming pool could be open earlier - possible to swim before breakfast and cleaning in the bathroom could be a little bit more better - residue of the mould around the bath are not very nice.

    Holiday hotel on the sea promenade, directly in front of the sea and beach with beautiful sea view. Service in the restaurant one of the best I ever experince - chef de rang (head waiter) Antonio was excellent and all the staff conducted by him provide super service. Excellent food - buffet dinner and breakfast with big variety and especially dinner different every day. Heated swimming pool with warm salted water compensate impossibility to swim in the sea during pre-season period.

    We had only booked one night and wished we had booked more!

    Fantastic location yards from the sea front. The room had a balcony overlooking the sea front. Very modern hotel which was very clean. We did not expect a bottle of prosecco cava and macaroons waiting for us in the room with a welcome note from the manager. We had evening meal and breakfast at the hotel and both were excellent with a comprehensive range of options.

    The airconditioner made a lot of noise. The floor of our showertub was really slippery.

    We had a room with sea view. It was beautiful. The staff is so very friendly and helpfull. They made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The breakfast was delicious. The choice of food is amazing. The breakfast room is so large that there is always enough space for the guests. The rooms are cleaned very well every day. In the bar you can get some nice cocktails with a beautiful seaside view. I think this hotel deserves more than 3 stars.
