It’s a stretch to call this hotel 5 stars. It’s nice and the staff are very friendly but it’s outdated. The pool area is lovely. Service is friendly but terrible. You literally have to chase staff to get a drink or order lunch and they have an amazing ability to not make eye contact with you if you want something. They supposedly have pool area staff but again they had an amazing way of avoiding any service levels. Not enough to put me off returning but do not expect a 5 star hotel and be assured of 2 star service but great location and people are very friendly.

We stayed here as a family of six over the Easter weekend. The weather was not great so it was nice to have the indoor pool and spa and the children were allowed to use that in daytime hours. The breakfast was absolutely beautiful every day and the staff could not have been more friendly and welcoming. The rooms are lovely and spacious, it’s definitely worth getting a part Sea view or a Seaview so that you can enjoy that from the balcony.

Lovely stay, very enjoyable

Lovely stay. Staff are really friendly. Great location next to the beach and a short, pleasant walk to the marina. Breakfast selection very good and staff are very attentive during breakfast. Spa facilities are really nice - but daily cost for over 12s is 14 euro. Pool tables in bar area a great activity but also a surcharge. Outdoor pool huge but quite cold as it’s quite early in the season. Overall great stay and would stay again.

The staff are exceptional. Very helpful and friendly . The hotel is spotless and the food excellent , breakfast and evening meal My only comments would be it isn’t quite a 5 star hotel.The indoor heated pool is within the Spa so entrance fee applies. The sun beds do not have cushions just towels and we didn’t have help with luggage out / into taxi as no one about , but a friendly member of staff did bring it to room . Overall a very enjoyable stay and we look forward to returning

Ok, when deciding on staying at the hotel looking at the amenities is an important factor . The hotel boasts that they have both an outdoor and indoor pool. As we are travelling off season and the outdoor pool would not be suitable the fact that the hotel had an indoor pool was very attractive. Upon check in we were advised that to use the indoor pool would cost Eur16 per day so in effect a 30 minute swim would cost over 4 days a considerable amount . When I challenged the front desk as to why there was no mention of an additional cost to use the pool in Expedia I was told that laundry was also included as an option but this was not free !!!!! This was the most ridiculous comment as it is well known that hotels do NOT offer free laundry but as a seasoned traveller for work and business I have never had to pay for the use of an indoor pool at any other hotel worldwide. Considering the high nightly cost at this hotel we would not have stayed had we have kn own about the additional cost. Another thing to watch ou for is that should you use a coffee pod in the room the cost is Euro2.50 per pod !! Again this is the first time I have come across a hotel charging for coffee in the room.
