Pros:

Perfect location for the beach and bus stops. Very clean.

Cons:

Very poor entertainment in the evenings, unlike previous occasions when I have visited. Hot food selection both lunchtime and dinner time was always overcooked and only just warm.

Pros:

A proximidade às praias.

Simpatia dos funcionários, excepto da recepção que nem um sorriso abriam na entrada ou saída dos hospedes durante o dia.

A gentileza de nos deixarem uns pratos frios para comermos na nossa chegada, checkin apos as 23h30.

Cons:

A piscina devia ser maior. Tanta gente num quadrado acaba por estarmos pouco a vontade. Fecha as 20h ,mas as 19h poem as cancelas.

A animação devia ser revista. Porque apesar de 5* os animadores, 1/3 das atividades nao eram efetuadas.

Deveriam repensar a pensao completa com bebidas , uma pack extra ou assim. Porque so havia aguas de 1litro com ou sem gas e mesmo as de gás levavam as tampas. So o vinho se podia "guardar".

O menu e a comida apesar de ter muita escolha, nao seguia a temática. 2 exemplos: no dia que era a sopa-creme de cogumelos, quando questionado o chef disse que nao tinham chegado os cogumelos e havia logo ao lado porco estufado com mix de cogumelos e cogumelos de paris ao vapor ... estranho!!! No dia da noite asiático, faltou o arroz para o sushi porque nem vê-lo... apenas rolinhos primavera e o arroz xau-xau.. que afinal tinha arroz! Desilusão.

Risky
Pros:

A good size pool location across the road from the beach

Cons:

Room 121 had a slight partial view of the pool but move a view of a tin roof, very dirty see photos.
Off putting me going onto balcony.
I spoke to reception bit was told i couldnt change room as they were fully booked until i showed photos. She started to offer another room but i reminded her being fully booked. Had a free drink at the bar!

Hotel 3* com boa qualidade
Pros:

Gostei da limpesa desde espaços comuns como dos quartos, da simpatia dos funcionários e da organização do espaço da piscina pois tinhamos sempre espreguiçadeiras disponíveis e nao havia marcações antecipadas.

Cons:

Ouve-se muito barulho dos quartos vizinhos e do corredor. Fraco isolamento acústico. Achei que falataram pratos mais simples como grelhados, havia pouco e penso que é algo simple e agradável para quem está de férias.

Pros:

La animación de los animadores Manu y Álvaro.
La cercania de la playa en zona con chiringuitos, bares , tiendas y supermercado.
La limpieza de la habitación.
Que hubiera terraza , aire acondicionado y ascensor.

Cons:

Que el parking privado del hotel cobre 20€ al dia, que en las comidas cobran 2€ por una botella de agua de 700ml de agua filtrada ( que es agua de grifo).
Y que el buffet y poco variado para lo que cuesta .
Las almohadas son muy finas , pero pedimos otras y nos dieron una más para cada uno, lo solucionan rápido,
Tienes que dormir con dos almohadas por lo finas que son.

MAL HOTEL, MALA EXPERIENCIA
Pros:

Lo unico bueno que tenia es la ubicacion la verdad, hotel de hace 60-70 años?¿?¿ o mas, con un lavado de cara, aire acondicionado no funciona correctamente ni la nevera, camas chirrian, el baño da pena

Cons:

ni escobilla de baño tienen, no limpian hay que quejarse para que te limpien la habitacion, el restaurante buffet hay poca variedad. lo unico bueno que el plato principal te lo hacen en una plancha grande, que se ve que es fresco, lo demas hay q oler antes de comer, TE VENDEN AGUA DE GRIFO en jarron de cristal 1l por 2 euros y NO HAY BOTELLAS DE AGUA y te quejas y te dicen que EL AGUA DE BOTELLA ES UNA BASURA LO BUENO ES ESAS JARRAS DE MIERDA esas que te venden con agua de grifo creo que se puede hasta denunciar esto, el personal....... mal la verdad

Buena estancia, hotel en una ubicación inmejorable
Pros:

La ubicación genial, los servicios del hotel, el personal muy amable.

Cons:

Lo único que no me gusto fue la playa que no tiene nada que ver con el hotel. Pero es cierto que tiene mucha pendiente y si vas con personas con movilidad reducida tienes que moverte un par de kilómetros para encontrar otras playas mas accesibles.
