Trop cher pour ce que c est il y a beaucoup mieux au même prix
Pros:

Le rooftop avec le DJ. Parking gratuit. Chambre spacieuse.

Cons:

La piscine étant petite, il nous a fallut régler 40€ par personne de 11h30 à 15h30 et par la suite on est venu nous réclamer 20€ de plus pour chacun.

Disappointing!
Pros:

Rooftop

Cons:

Staff seemed to have attitude and not care. We felt like the wrong demographic for this hotel. We think it’s more for the 29 and 39 year olds. Food choices were limited. You had to guarantee a significant spend to sit by the pool. Overall, the least favorite accom of our four week road trip. We wouldn’t recommend and definitely wouldn’t return.

Nice design, disappointing service and pool
Pros:

Modern property with cute design

Cons:

I received a note saying that the access to the pool is free for guests but it’s recommended to book the spot through a link provided by the hotel as the spaces fill up fast. Upon arriving to the pool, I was told that there’s a cost of 80€ per person to use the facilities (a fee later refundable in food and drinks). I was suprised and disappointed especially as the pool seemed to be a kids pool where you can’t have a chill conversation without the kids screams , splashing around and jumping into the pool. I wish there was some kind of adult only policy of limit on kids. Btw I’m wondering if the fee applies to kids as well? Unfortunately I’ve booked this hotel mainly because of the pool and was really disappointed .

Upon the check in, the staff didn’t explain anything about the breakfast time, restaurant, opening times , etc and seemed annoyed when I tried to ask them. Some staff was lovely (especially at the lobby bar) but the reception staff was quite rude .

All to say, I was disappointed considering the hotel is not cheap.

Désastreux

Cons:

La piscine n’est pas utilisable sans minimum spend (40€ par jour par personne) aucune attention pour fêter nos 5 ans que j’avais mentionné à l’hôtel avant notre arrivée. Pas de rangements dans les chambres

Cons:

Curtains didn’t fit the bedroom so let huge amounts of lighting. Took many attempts to fix, finally resolved with a room move on the final day.

Fun stay
Pros:

Superb value hotel with a lot to offer. Very comfortable room, all the basics are covered, great bed and shower space. Party atmosphere on the roof in the evening, DJ in main lobby too, Detroit style pizza restaurant ‘Four Corners’, solid breakfast with brilliant coffee and orange juice, small but all you need pool and sun longer area - booking essential due to small space, tacos and cocktails both great on the roof. 30 min walk to beach. We would return.

Cons:

No hardship, but staff could be a little more attentive at the breakfast, bars and pool. That said, the QR ordering system for pool drinks/snacks works very well.

Great stay but the rooftop pool usage rules around minimum spend and booking system is disappointing.
Pros:

Great room, good lounge area and location.

Cons:

No storage in the rooms to put stuff - no draws or wardrobe. When you have a baby with lots of stuff this isn’t ideal. Also, no transparency ahead of booking that use of the hotel pool area does come at a cost to a hotel guest. To have a sunbed you have to agree to a €40 minimum spend on food or drink. This is ridiculous for a hotel guest.

Sort the lifts and sunbeds please
Pros:

Booked this hotel as a group stay of
9 couples for my husbands 40th as it looked vibey, trendy & had what we wanted - including a pool and roooftop bar!

Pros
- arrived at 12pm and was surprised our room was ready & we could check in
- Big bed which was extremely comfy
- Staff were friendly
- Reception Organised us taxis easily every day
- Very aesthetically pleasing
- Roof top pool & bar which is was lovely
- Dark & quiet rooms so can sleep

Cons
- having to pre book sunbeds AND having to have a minimum stay to use them when your staying in the hotel I think is terrible! You book a hotel with a pool and expect to be able to use it (with a sunbed) included in the price!
- The food in the roof top was not great - very small menu and VERY small portions!
- You have to queue at the downstairs bar on one line.. rather than stand at the bar!
- The lifts - wow - where do I start, I understand the likelihood is due to security but you need a room to use the lifts and they rarely work! Not only this but if only works to the floor you are on so you wernt ever able to get to our friends room!
- Air con - did not work at night. Woke up sweating every morning
