Pros:

This strength of this hotel is its location. The taxi from the airport drops you off practically at the front door. It is situated at the top of the main strip with all the bars, cafés and restaurants, plus only a three minute walk to a large sandy beach! Amazing location.

Cons:

There was nothing I didn't like, but there are areas that could be done better.
We had a two bedroom apartment on the top floor. There was an open plan kitchen/living room, tv in each room, fridge, hob, bathroom with shower over bath. Decor was tired but functional. Huge balcony with sea views was amazing, just a shame there is construction next door.
Housekeeping was a little inconsistent so sometimes towels weren't changed and room wasn't cleaned. But you can get towels by asking the reception.
Reception staff are generally efficient but could be friendlier. Just passing the time of day whilst dealing with something would make the hotel feel better.
Breakfast was good, no issues.
Take earplugs if you're a light sleeper due to music from bars and construction noise in morning.
Overall, hotel looks a little tired, but for the money and location, in my opinion, is a bargain and I'd happily stay again. Great option for mates, perhaps not so great for some families, couples.

Mais central não há. Tem potencial mas fica à quem!
Pros:

Localização, mais central não há! Pequeno almoço não era mau!

Cons:

Limpeza. Os funcionaria podiam ser mais simpáticos. Hotel com um potencial gigante mas muito datado! Falta dinamismo e é pouco convidativo!

Pas mal malgré quelques soucis. Bon point pour la localisation.
Pros:

Assez bon établissement, propre, super bien placé dans la rue principale de Santa Maria. Plage principale à 2 minutes à pieds. Possibilité de réserver des activités à la réception. Bon petit déjeuner, bonne nourriture au restaurant. Ménage de la chambre quotidien.

Cons:

Reception 24/24 mais assez longue attente lors de mon Check in (j’étais la seule et il était 21h). Pas de wifi à mon arrivée… j’ai du attendre le surlendemain pour avoir accès au wifi de l’hôtel. Ensuite, j’ai été changée de chambre en milieu de la semaine, pour des « problèmes d’eau au deuxième étage ». Arrivée dans la seconde chambre, au premier étage cette fois-ci, je n’ai pas eu accès à l’eau pendant toute une journée.

es war das 2te mal und ok
Pros:

der Pool ist ein optische Give Away, aber nutzbar ist er nicht. das Frühstück ist leider erst ab 8 Uhr, was im Dezember ok, aber in anderen Monaten mir zu spät ist. Die Lage ist für die abendliche Unternehmungen super, da sehr zentral, das Gleiche gilt zur Lage zum Strand. Die Ausstattung ist doch sehr spärlich, wenn auch funktionell. Wasserdruck ist klasse.

Cons:

Lautstärke, Beginn des Frühstückes, Preislich im Vergleich zu anderen etwas zu teuer

Cons:

Hotel muy viejo y mal cuidado. Las puertas no cierran bien, en el baño no hay enchufe, hay una mininevera vieja, ruidosa y oxidada directamente en el suelo, la calle es ruidosa y llena de gente que te acosan para comprarles cosas o te ofrecen "masajes". La piscina está prácticamente en la calle, solo la usan para hacer prácticas de buceo con oxígeno. El personal es incapaz de sonreír o de saludarte cuando pasas. No hay ascensor. La habitación poco iluminada, el agua caliente tarda 5 minutos en llegar. Es un 3 estrellas pero en España sería una pensión.

Nice hotel, close to everything
Pros:

Extremely centric location at the start of the pedestrian shops and restaurant street, close to everything. Good breakfast, freshly baked white bread every morning. Airconditioning in every room, spacious family room, shower with both hot and "cold" water. Good and decent priced restaurant at the hotel.

Cons:

We couldn't get a room key each (if anyone of us would like to stay out a little bit later), we had to tell the receptionist to open the door for us. The pool was open 11-18. Would've been nice to take a quick swim after breakfast, or when arriving from all-day activities.

Pros:

Le calme est un grand appartement

Cons:

J’ai payé dix euros plus les taxes, j’ai dû partir un peu plus tôt le matin avant le petit déjeuner. Ils n’ont même pas été capable de me préparer une petite boxe bien que le petit déjeuner était compris. Je lui ai demandé la veille et on m’a dit que ce n’était pas possible je trouve ça surprenant et pas très commerçant.
