Lovely hotel - would definitely recommend!!!
Pros:

Room was very spacious! Looked better than pictures. Stayed in the apartment and it was perfect for 4 people. Pool was lovely and the pool bar served great food and drinks! Toilets by the pool were always clean. Staff were very friendly and allowed us to store luggage and use pool facilities when waiting for our room. A lovely man working at the pool went out of his way to help us acquire an umbrella at the pool. Rooms were cleaned and sheets changed every day. Provided towels for the pool upon request. Location was good. €5/6 uber to old town. Short walk to the strip.

Cons:

Noise was quite loud late into the night. Music playing in nearby bar/hotel (not sure which) until around 1/2am each night. Pool sign says sun beds cannot be reserved, however most were reserved each morning and left vacant all day. This was quite annoying as around 11/12 all were taken and only half were actually being used as people dropped their towels and left again.

Ágætt
Pros:

Það var aðeins einn stóll à svölunum sem er óásættanlegt, starfsfólkið gat ekkert gert. Við fórum og keyptum nýjan stól. Enginn tappi í baðinu og bara hægt að fara í sturtu. Ekki hægt að fá tappa.
Snyrtilegt hótel en of há tónlist í garðinum.

Infested in bed bugs
Pros:

This hotel has a good location and the pool is good

Cons:

A group of 20 people stayed here in 5 different rooms, 18 of 20 were bitten by bed bugs. The drinks at the pool bar are extremely over priced and the cocktails at €12 are miserable, bar staff extremely grumpy, absolutley would not return.
