Very nice modern hotel, very clean and decent sized rooms, beds very comfortable and a nice powerful shower, good location for old town with beach a 3 minute walk, bars, shops and restaurants 3 to 5 minutes walk. A pleasant walk to Newtown the strip and the beach there takes around 25 minutes. Staff very helpful. We went all inclusive but I wouldn’t recommend this at all, there was one person who had to clear restaurant tables, clean them and reset them with cutlery etc and this person also had to serve behind the bar which meant more often than not there’s nobody behind the bar and a fairly long wait for drinks, I can’t understand why they wouldn’t employ someone to work solely behind the bar during opening times. The food is pretty much all Spanish/Mediterranean dishes which probably suits 90% of guests as it’s a very Spanish hotel. I’m not a fussy eater at all but the food just wasn’t for me and always luke warm, fruit, cereal, yogurts and toast were ok but you can’t go wrong with that. I’d return to hotel if I felt the price was right but not on an all inclusive basis as food and drinks outside of hotel are very cheap and much better quality.

They say you get what you pay for, but for a solo traveler it’s an ideal spot to base yourself.

They say you get what you pay for, but for a solo traveler it’s an ideal spot to base yourself. The hotel itself is clean and bright on arrival, the booking said check in at 3pm, however the reception said this is now changed to 4pm, but they haven’t had chance to update all holiday operators. Then get room key card that clearly states checkin time to be 2pm, which to my recognition is neither 3 or 4pm. That being said after checkin, went to room 117 located well, room was clean, bright and spacious, powerful shower, although your bathroom floor will get very wet, so more towels are required to make safe. This Hotel is billed as a two star, remember that when reading on. I booked all inclusive option which in my opinion they have still got some way to go to get this right, first of all is the staffing issue, no dedicated bar staff, is just poor service on the hotels part, this means that restaurant staff are running between the restaurant and the bar, trying to serve everyone. This means you can be left waiting long times at the bar for a drink. Food, well I had two meals at the hotel and for good reason, the breakfast was Ok, but not great. Eggs, sausages, bacon all cold. If you are a fussy eater, this will get your back up. Evening meal was better, everything was warm (not hot), but selection like the morning was small. Rooftop pool: does not look clean or well maintained, but does offer a good view around. Cleaning service: Brilliant, everyday service, clean towels each day. Friendly. Room: missing a basic kettle for coffee, which is not great when your an early riser, and no coffee machines open until restaurant at 8am Location: great location, 2mins from supermarket, 5 mins from beach front, old town to your left, and great to visit. Restaurants, bars, and gastro places a plenty. And fairly priced that you don’t need all inclusive here. Try Fresh at the bottom of the road and to your left, best breakfast, and great staff. All in all perfect for a solo traveler, who needs a bed for the night, with no frills, but nice respectable staff.
