The hotel offers decent value. Decent beds, good location. However, the hotel is tired. Bad and repetitive food. Inadequate facilities (the spa needs to be removed). But the staff are excellent. Thank you

6/10 Good

Nice friendly staff. The public areas are kept spotless clean but the room cleaning is not as good as I expected. The bed was very comfortable but we asked for a double bed and got 2 singles pushed together. Food is good but a little repetitive as the menu seems very limited. On the whole a nice hotel, but starting to look a little dated.

10/10 Exceptional

Loved this hotel! Stunning views from the balcony, brilliant staff, food was pretty good and served warmer than you often get in all inclusive, so that was great. Entertainment in the bar every night. Two pools and a jacuzzi. Rooms were large with comfortable seating and a large telly. Balcony is great. Just 2 draw backs, the beds are quite hard, and there are fans rather than air-conditioning, so the nights can be warm, but that is definitely a price worth paying!

Front desk staff Laura and Gabriela were lovely to deal with. Food was ok but could use more variety. Popcorn at the breakfast buffet?? Drinks were good but you needed an upgrade to get certain drinks made. Room was nice and clean but no air conditioning. Parking 15eu night. Free parking next door but hard to get a spot. Overall a nice quiet hotel with a beautiful view and close to everything if u have a rental car

Decent food—repetitious menu, but good—great staff—hotel shows its age—hard to find location without GPS until you have been there—picturesque setting but rocky beach hard to walk—good value for the money
