Cleanliness
1
Generally reported as clean in public areas and by several guests ('well kept and clean', 'La limpieza'), though some mentions of smells and inconsistent room housekeeping (not cleaned daily / towels not always changed).
Service
1
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful ('El personal', 'Le staff est sympathique', 'Amabilidad del personal'), with a few procedural hiccups (wrong room assigned initially in one review).
Location
1
Location is a major positive across reviews ('Excelente ubicación', 'Ótima localização', close to beach, bars and public transport), though access road/entrance condition and being behind a shopping area are occasional negatives.
Room Quality
1
Multiple complaints about room shortcomings: noisy rooms (thin walls, guests coming in late), old/worn bathroom fittings (peeling paint), lack of in-room amenities (no mini-fridge, missing shampoo/conditioner, limited toiletries), small rooms and occasional smell — overall the strongest negative theme.
Amenities
1
Amenities like a large pool, bar, well-kept gardens and social areas are praised ('piscina grande y agradable', 'jardines muy bien mantenidos'), though issues noted include loud pool music, no drinking water fountain and absence of some in-room amenities.
Value for Money
1
Several guests noted good value ('great value for its price') and the property offers attractive social areas and location for the price, though room shortcomings temper perceived value for some guests.
Food and Beverage
1
Mixed comments: some praise for food, but breakfast options considered limited by a few guests and lack of in-room refrigeration/mini-fridge is a negative for drinks in hot weather.
Overall Experience
1
Overall sentiment is mixed: many guests love the location, outdoor areas and staff, while recurring room quality and noise issues (and occasional housekeeping/service inconsistencies) lead to a below-neutral overall impression for a notable number of reviewers.

Jättefin frukost och utsikt, men information om hur saker och ting fungerar på hotellet behöver förbättras!
Pros:

Utsikten från poolområdet och restaurangen, fanns många sittplatser att se ut över solnedgången om kvällarna. Väldigt fin atmosfär då också.

Frukosten var väldigt fina till utseendet, smakade även bra! Bra variation på menyn både vid frukosten, drinkar och lunch/middag.

Personalen i receptionen kunde väl engelska.

Solstolarna med nät vad sköna och sängplatserna under tak var jättetrevliga att vistas i, speciellt mot kvällskvisten!

Cons:

Inte tillräckligt med information om hur saker och ting fungerar på hotellet. Vi fick tex en genomgång om några grundläggande regler vid incheckningen, den informationen skulle också funnit till hands i hotellrummet.

Svårt att förstå när städningen skulle ske, under vår vistelse på 9 nätter fick vi rummet städat 4 gånger. Då glömdes det vid ett två tillfällen att sätta i ny påse i soptunnan och vid två tillfällen har AC:n justerats till oönskad temperatur. Vi fick be om nya handdukar då det saknades vid två tillfällen också. Information om när det städas och vad som städas hade underlättat.

Vi hade inkluderande frukost, men endast kaffe var inkluderat i de ”billigare” priserna av frukosten. Endast om mam valde omelett eller scramble ägg kunde man få välja juice, annars fick man stå för den kostnaden. Tycker att det bredare sortiment av dryck borde också ingå precis som det breda sortimentet av frukost som fanns att tillgå.
