Location On a minor street near Jokers bar. Four mins from promenade & beach with shops nearer. Lots of bars & clubs in close vicinity but far enough away not to cause a nuisance or noise. Although you can get taxis from the hotel reception there is a taxi rank at the first junction if you turn right outside the hotel. Reception & hotel Efficient, polite, helpful & courteous. Free WIFI throughout the hotel. Security is a top priority. You need your room key to gain access to pool area, toilets and some of the lifts. Room Of adequate size with sufficient drawer & shelf space. Three lights in bedroom and good ceiling lights in bathroom. Good water pressure & plenty of hot water. Towels changed as required. TV with a few English channels including BBC1 & 2 but no ITV channels. Free safe of a size to take an iPad. Pool area Pleanty of space and able to get sunbeds at any time. Pool towels available at reception at no charge. Bar & Lounge Bar serves the outside area as well from opening in wall. There are waiters inside during the evening or you can go to the bar yourself. Prices are very reasonable: Bottle water €1.30 Bottle soft drink €2.20 Pint (Amstel) €3.50 Coffee €1.70 Entertainment every evening from 8:30pm. Restaurant Not a great deal of choice at dinner but sufficient and tasty. Breakfast has the usual choice of cereals, cold meats & full English. Fruit juices & drinks machines for which there were no queues. I tried to get a white coffee from a machine. It comes out as half a cup of coffee solo, whichever machine you use. You have to fill the cup with hot milk to get a proper white coffee with resultant waste of milk. Managed to get a table for each meal. The restaurant staff are excellent - plates cleared extremely efficiently and tables reset quickly. Car Park Under the hotel with a daily charge. There are 155 places. For some reason the hotel gave me space 76 which was the lower of the two car park levels with access down a steep ramp and bend. Space 76 is the furthest from the hotel entry point. I have no idea why I was given this parking spot when there was not a single other car on the lower level and only 3 on the upper level. My recommendation would be to ask for a space on the upper level if you are driving. Overall Well managed hotel, staff helpful & courteous, easy to get sunbeds, reasonably priced drinks and in a good location.
