Beautiful decor, expensive, staff are courteous not friendly
Pros:

The decor

Cons:

I have been going for years however this year they participated in a festival. For those guests that hadn’t purchased festival tickets, they were declined entry to the bar and the terrace on the only day of sunshine. This was not stated anywhere when booking. UNACCEPTABLE

Pros:

Clean spacious hotel in good location with varied and interesting food

Cons:

The pool area was closed due to renovation work. Other work was being done on part of the building. None of this was mentioned when booking. The sports bar was also closed with only the function room bar open and there were long waits to get served. All of the equipment in the gym is broken and was last year when we stayed. Check-in is at 2pm but we had to wait in reception until 3pm.

overordnet er standarden faldet de sidste 3 ophold. lidt synd.
Pros:

tæt på stranden, og hyggelig hal. oldschool hotel men lidt slidt hist og her.

Cons:

rengøring på værelset og gangen, droppe bands i baren sammen med rocking race, vi måtte finde en anden bar udenfor hotellet at hygge i.
morgemaden er også faldet i standard.

Pros:

The breakfast was great and the reception staff were friendly and helpful
Cleaning staff were very accommodating and helpful too
The view from my room was lovely

Cons:

I feel the rooms weren't totally up to the standard of a 4 star hotel that I'd stayed at elsewhere in Spain
The pillows were uncomfortable and some lights didn't work- all minor

Comfortable, relaxing, entertaining, clean and a memorable experience for me and my family
Pros:

Room was very clean and cleaned every day. Breakfast was amazing lots of choice hot or cold available. The Rockin Race was on and this hotel hosted it for the first time. My brother sang and played as the first act in this hotel. It was an iconic moment and we hope to return. Staff friendly helpful in all areas

Cons:

The Rockin Race Festival was the first held at this hotel and there was a number limit in the room where the band were playing. This meant there was a queue of people awaiting to go into the room but because the number had reached the limit they were being stopped. This problem was sorted by the second act and a dividing wall between rooms was removed to take more people in
