It is not a place that I would recommend
Pros:

Our room 240
House keeping was poor had to request a bath stopper/ plug
Cracks at coving ceiling filled with filler but not painted to blend in
Open joints in shower unit at floor level
On balcony paint not cleaned off tile upstands timber balustrade covered in dust
In the three lifts the light fixture covered in Debra and dead insects
I was only there for one night
After paying for parking I had to return to reception three times to have the barrier lifted

Cons:

Not a lot

Gepflegtes Hotel mit kulinarischem Verbesserungspotential
Pros:

Schöne Zimmer und Badezimmer, allerdings hellhörig (war zum Glück noch nicht voll belegt). Schöne Außenanlage mit direktem Zugang zur Strandpromenade.Angenehme Lobby. Gutes und engagiertes Personal an der Rezeption- auch deutschsprachig. Frühstücksbuffet umfangreich

Cons:

Das abendliche Buffet war zwar umfangreich aber geschmacklich eher fad und entweder verkocht oder kalt. Ausnahme waren nur die frisch zubereiteten Speisen (zb der Fisch). Barbetrieb und Aufnahme der Getränkebestellungen beim Abendessen wenig ambitioniert.

Luxurious
Pros:

This is a truly amazing accommodation. I only stayed one night to be close to the airport, but had I known of this place before I arrived I would have stayed extra days. It has fantastic facilities, is right on the beach. The staff are extremely accommodating and helpful. I had included the dinner and breakfast and the food was varied and plentiful and very tasty. The room was large and comfortable with a large balcony overlooking the pools.

Pros:

La cama muy grande y cómoda, el desayuno estuvo bien.

Cons:

El Spa es demasiado pequeño, el masaje relajante de 25min casi no se siente, y mientras te dan el masaje se oye todo el jaleo del spa, no te podías relajar la verdad.
