Good hotel in a convenient area with easy access to the marina and the beach. The bus stop is nearby too for exploring elsewhere. The hotel is well maintained and was a very relaxing place to stay. The room with views of the marina and sea was comfortable, with a balcony equipped with table and chairs. We were lucky that our room had the sun on the balcony all afternoon and we also had the sun setting in view as well. In the hotter months the sun might be a bit too much in the room but the air conditioning was very quiet, controllable and efficient. We had twin beds that were okay, my wife thought they were comfortable but I thought mine was too firm. The buffet food was of good quality and a good selection to choose from at breakfast and dinner. One thing I thought was poor was the siting of the grill where the chef cooked fresh items while you wait, it is in the centre of the hot food area and people queuing would block access to the other hot dishes on offer and some seemed a bit miffed having to move to allow you to get to the other dishes, I think they were afraid of losing their place in the queue and probably think you are pushing in. That really is the only thing I would fault. Being late season the evening entertainment was not much consisting mainly of a singer but its only a short walk to the marina with all the bars ect. Overall I would be happy to return

Our room was on the 7th floor & the view from the balcony was beautiful, beds were made everyday & fresh towels were provided too. The breakfast option was great with so many options. Its just a few minutes walk to the marina where you find great restaurants & bars not to mention shopping. I certainly would stay there again with a doubt. We even got a free goodbye drink the day before we left & met with the manager to give our views which was nice👌👌. You just cannot go wrong with this hotel, the staff are very helpful & polite too.

Excellent location at just a two minutes walk from the marina and the beach. Great swimming pools. Great range of breakfast choices. Rooms could be updated but very clean and comfortable.

We had a lovely stay at this hotel. Staff were very helpful, we requested to move rooms as ours was next to the service lifts so quite noisy during the night. Breakfast was lovely, lots of variety and the hotel is reasonably priced. Hotel is also in a great location for the marina. Id recommend not to bother with booking a transfer from airport to hotel as you can easily get an uber for ~€20.
