Pleasant stay
Pros:

The location is excellent, and the staff were very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, the rest of our experience was not as good. The first room we received was small and uncomfortable. The weather was cold, and the air conditioning system could not properly heat the room. As a result, I got sick, and we could not sleep comfortably.

After we complained, the reception staff responded immediately and changed our room, which was much better. We really appreciated their quick assistance.

However, the building’s sound insulation is not good, and you can hear a lot of noise. There was also construction work in the hotel during our stay (around the pool area, garden, and sea view rooms). We visited in February, so future guests may want to be aware of this.

Breakfast was acceptable, but the coffee was not good, and there was no fresh orange juice available.

Cons:

The building itself is old very small pool area. It would be good for 3 stars hotel

Niet voor herhaling vatbaar
Pros:

Ligging

Cons:

- Voordat we ook maar één woord hadden gezegd kregen we bij het inchecken te horen dat we een kamerupgrade hadden gekregen, na 35 jaar naar Spanje reizen is dit de eerste keer dat ons dat aangeboden werd.
- In de frigo stond 1 reeds geopend flesje water en 1 nieuw.
- De schakelaar van de waterkoker is defect.
- Een man van 1,89 m kan hier niet op een normale manier douchen, en wanneer de grote douche is ingeschakeld fluctueert het water constant van heet naar koud.
- 3e en 4e dag geen melk cupjes meer op de kamer, dan maar 3€ op het kussen gelegd en als bij toverslag ‘s anderendaags terug melkcupjes.
- Iedere dag aanschuiven in een rij om een simpel eitje te verkrijgen lijkt me absurd, croissantjes en andere ontbijtkoeken zijn niet vers, spek is van erbarmelijke kwaliteit, roerei uit zakken.
Als dat de kamerupgrade was, dan wil ik niet weten wat onze initiële kamer ging zijn.
