Avoid at all costs
Pros:

Just the location

Cons:

Management at this are absolutely horrendous, they lie and will NOT help you whatsoever.

When escalated, booking.com also did NOTHING to help apart from send us meaningless messages.l and the couldn’t be bothered to follow up

Half Board at this hotel is NOT half board - the hotel chooses what food you’re allowed to have and they will always give you the cheapest options

Beds are not comfortable

Cleaning is not done properly and there is dust everywhere in the rooms, especially on the desks

Showers are old and need replacing
