    PAYING 10EURO PER DAY, PER PERSON TO USE THE POOL, PLUS 4 EURO COMPULSORY PURCHASE OF A SWIM CAP WAS A BIT RIDICULOUS. Food staff at breakfast a little rude. Coffee not great. Quite dated. Would have been a fabulous hotel in its day. The beach volleyball court lights are on very late and did impact on the sunset.

    Nice ocean view. Good free AC. Spacious room. View of sunset. Direct moon to water. Breakfast good. Receptions and manager staff helpful. Parking great and seemed safe. Safe to stay in. If I was alone I would feel okay. Retro vibe.

    Mercur need to invest in their property. The property hasn't got 'character', it is just tired. Doors stick, plumbing is poor, bathroom fittings broken.

    Not many food options. Breakfast is not hygienic due to no way of preserving food from 6:30am - 10:30am and mainly cake. Some of the staff members.were very rude and not many spoke English or Spanish which caused a lot of issues. There were hidden and ridiculous daily prices for the swimming pool (per person) plus mandatory swimming hats at 4€ each, hidden prices at the restaurant; including high service charge, charge for tap water, high cab rates and per person rates that didn't make sense, 10€ per person one way, meaning 40€ return for a short journey. Fortunately, we got a kind cab driver who gave us 10€ off for a return journey. The shower leaked into the hallway and bedroom. We mentioned this to the staff twice and they said they'd get the "technician" to come but no one did. Only one light worked in the bedroom. The wires were coming out of the lamps. I ordered a coffee one morning for breakfast and forgot to say "soya" milk, by the time I corrected the order, the coffee was made with dairy milk already.. The staff member, arched his back and made a sound of frustration that I can only describe as a toddlers' tantrum. I was in complete shock and would have taken this behaviour up with the manager had I not been so emotional due to such mistreatment during our stay at Sunbay Park Hotel. Also the language barrier didn't help! Furthermore, when asking for coffee during breakfast, staff treated my partner and I, as if we were stealing from them. Even though we're paying customers and breakfast was included in our stay. My Italian skills are very minimal but I tried as much as I could. I speak English and Spanish and used Google translate, however communicating with the staff was still very difficult. Overall customer service was zero and we are seeking compensation.

    The view of the sea and the wine. Sandra the room service cleaner was great.

    This is completely misrepresented on booking.com There was only 1 pool, not 2, and it was green with algae and not swimmable. They wanted to charge 10euro a person to use it and it was disgusting. They also say they have private beach access but when asked the staff said there is no beach access at all anywhere. Completely misrepresented and ruined our vacation. We ended up spending a lot of money to use the surrounding beach clubs (which were lovely) but could have paid for a cheaper spot in town and had access to restaurants. Overall a total waste and not worth anyone's money.

    The view was nice

    Dirty (bath had no plug, water from bath tap had debris in it , so had to run bath from shower head), bidet had residue on it, mouldy window frames, leak from shower on to floor, evening meal was foul, we didn’t eat it and went to a petrol station for snacks, pool was closed, but when opened wanted 10euros to use it?? Absolutely not a 4star hotel. Felt like we could have been in a third world country!

    Most of all this is not a hotel, it is more of a hostel. This is not an Accord quality hotel… more like a place that time forgot. No upgrades in over a decade… still old key locks, that don’t work properly… children’s twin beds shoved together, TV that barely works on small screens, looking more like computer monitors… tiled floors in rooms, damp smelling bathroom and it looks like a kindergarten children’s group was brought in to paint the trim and woodwork…

    Not much… the staff were friendly, that’s about it

    The property is outdated and in need of refurbishment. It’s not fit for purpose and should not be rented out as an hotel as this is very unfair to have to pay for this accommodation as an hotel.

    Very old facilities. Went for dinner at 21:30 where reception told us it was until 23:00, ando they only had 3 options at that time. All 5 chose to eat lasagna that was clearly heated up in the microwave since some came cold and very dry. At the end impossibility to charge the room and the check Came hand written on a cut piece of paper. 82€ for a very bad meal. So expressive and incredible to believe for a mercure hotel. Rooms besides clean are sooooo out of date. Very old, lots os squeaky noises from the ver structure and curtains although are blackouts let in a lot of light.

    Property was clean and receptions girls were nice.
