Beautiful Spacious Room with Fabulous Veiw
Pros:

Beautiful view from our room. Room was very spacious and lots of windows to the sea view. Balcony was an added bonus. Double bed was huge and very comfortable. Pool was good and we liked the tropical rain shower by the pool. The staff were very friendly and helpful. They had food available in the bar which was good food and reasonably priced. We would definitely stay again.

Cons:

The sauna could have been hotter and the benches in the sauna were a bit high to easily climb to the top bench. There could have been more hooks to hang towels both in the pool facilities and the room/ bathroom. Otherwise everything else was fabulous and that wouldn't put us off returning for another stay.

Not worth the money
Pros:

The girl on reception was a lovely young lady and the breakfast was very good

Cons:

The room miles away from the lift. It looked like the furniture was hand built and needed either removing or painting. Dirty windows and the bathroom wanted ripping out and starting again. The room was more like you would find in a hostel. I dont think they should charge more than £40 per night

Pros:

We loved the location, the bar prices weren't horrendous either the deco could do with some improvements.

Cons:

The website offers a spa but what it really is, is a pool and sauna which was full of children which was very off putting for a romantic weekend away without children

Pros:

Good location, nice staff at the bar and reception. Breakfast was kind of all right

Cons:

The room was not cleaned well, and had to be vacuumed better. My room visibly ran down. The top window could not be closed well as the handle was broken, the other handles on the other two windows were looking bad too. The room did not have proper heating or air conditioning. There was only one tower fan which looked quite dirty and ran down as well. And the faucets in the bathroom are not comfortable at all, it is 21st century and in so many places there are still these separate hot and cold faucets 🤦 I'm quite disappointed
Parking prices are quite expensive too. 12 pounds is quite a lot. It was no hair dryer in the room either
