A huge decline in the quality
Pros:

Check in.

Cons:

1. There are not enough outlets in the room.
2. We wondered if the hotel had been sold because we had stayed there several other times, including one visit three months earlier. The prices had gone up greatly, making the whole experience not a good value.
3. We looked forward to having dinner in the restaurant, which we had enjoyed on previous stays. Indoor seating was no longer available, and the outdoor seating was too cold. Prices had increased, and portions decreased.
5. In sum we will not return.

Mixed experience! Expensive room! Not a good value for your money! Good breakfast through!
Pros:

Second night in a different room. Good breakfast.

Cons:

1st night! I booked the room with a garden view. But the room for the first night didn't have a garden view. We arrived around 9 pm, so we couldn't look outside. The next morning, I complained, and they moved us to a different room with a good garden view.

No recomdable deja mucho que desear.
Pros:

Tiene buena ubicación excepto que está la salida del puerto y eso es horrible.Desayuno bien aunque para 5estrellas es escaso y el personal de buffet muy amable y profesional.

Cons:

Mal servicio de limpieza,nos dejaron sin limpiar 2 días y encima dejaron el cartel de no molestar,nos dieron una llave ya no funcionaba las tarjetas,fue un cambio a una habitación superior y fue lamentable.
El secador al calentarse se paraba,la nevera no enfriaba……

Stayed for 2 nights
Pros:

I made a reservation to this hotel past midnight since we had to leave our airbnb. We were able to check in late since the reseption is open 24/7 and were able to add second night. The pool was great and staff friendly. Parking in front of the hotel

Cons:

The breakfast was disappointing for the price (it cost 16e per person since it did not include in the price of the hotel). I expected more for a 5 star hotel. The AC was not good and the bathroom did not drye at all

En conclusion le rapport qualité prix d’un 5 étoiles n y est pas si c’est pour faire une nuit ou être à proximité de l’a
Pros:

Point positif:
- personnel très acceuillant et disponible
- Très bon petit déjeuner varié
- Un très beau cadre Le hall, la décoration piscine
- Le restaurant est délicieux avec des prix abordables

Cons:

Points négatifs:
- le ménage laisse à désirer c’est uniquement de la surface et encore il n ya pas de nettoyage des sols prévu c’est uniquement un changement des serviettes et le lit
- Lors de notre arrivé la crème pour le corps individuelle ainsi que le conditionner avait été utilisé
- Il s’agit d’un hôtel 5 étoiles nous étions étonné que nous n’ayons pas d’eau ou café chaque jour dans la chambre comme à notre arrivé
- La literie n’est pas confortable
- La mention chaînes satellite ne convient pas il y a uniquement des chaînes tv locales
- L’hôtel est très isolé il n ya pas grand chose aux alentours le centre ville est à 15 min en voiture et 1h à pied le bus passe toutes les heures si vous avez des escapades prévu ou même pour manger il faut le prendre en compter

Das Hotel hat einen guten Standart und ist sehr schön angelegt
Pros:

Das Hotel ist sehr schön angelegt. Die Zimmer waren sauber und das Bett entsprach einem guten Standart.

Cons:

Das Bad ist Sanierungsbedürftig und die Klimaanlage war defekt, was nicht schlimm war, da es Nachts kühl wurde. An der Balkontüre war jedoch kein Mückennetz montiert und wir wurden in der Nacht verstochen.

Despite the negatives, we had a nice room with a terrace as requested which we enjoyed very much.
Pros:

The room was clean and freshened every day . Breakfast was good.
The pool area is very nice and relaxing. The gardens are very well maintained and a pleasure to walk through.

Cons:

The bathrooms in the room need refurbishment as they are very tired and look quite old. The shower was not stable and as a result water spilt over on to the floor. The shower and shower glass needs upgrading.

On one night a rat was seen on the terrace so you may need to consider fumigating the gardens.

Disappointing Rooms
Pros:

The gardens are beautiful and all the art work is interesting.
The service was good and all the staff are helpful.

Cons:

The rooms are not all that great - first I was put in a superior room that stank of mould. They then moved me to an upper room that had no balcony nor terrace despite that being stated in my booking. The worst part was that it was below the diningroom so from 6am each morning there was so much noise with tables being moved and chairs scraping and things being dropped.
The beach is not attached to the hotel so you have to cross a very busy road to get to a very scrappy old Lido to swim in the sea.
A very disappointing stay indeed.
