Proper en basic hotel, voor kort verblijf.
Pros:

Met uitzondering van één enkele receptioniste was het personeel enorm vriendelijk. De kamer was hygiënisch, de airco was goed. het ontbijt was oké.

Cons:

De kamers zijn verouderd en dringend aan vernieuwing toe. De kamers zijn daarnaast heel klein en dus echt niet geschikt voor langere vakanties wegens de zeer beperkte opbergruimte. Het ontbijt was goed, maar wel zeer basis. Een beetje variatie is zeker welkom. Zo waren er wel ontbijtgranen en noten maar geen muesli. De zetels aan het zwembad zijn versleten en doorgezakt. Tenslotte doet het personeel absoluut geen moeite om je langer in je kamer te laten blijven bij een latere vlucht. Het hotel was half leeg bij mijn vertrek, maar toch kon ik niet langer in mijn kamer blijven. Ze stelden voor dat ik mij kon douchen aan de douche aan het zwembad, wat niet zo aangenaam was als vrouw alleen. De oudere receptioniste verbood mij bijna om mijn handdoeken nog wat langer bij te houden om mij af te drogen en liet mij bijna 20 euro borg betalen om een handdoek te huren. Gelukkig had de jongere receptioniste eerder gezegd dat dit geen probleem was. (Zij was echt heel lief!)

It’s ok just don’t expect much for an only adults
Pros:

The girl at reception was amazing and same with men when I arrived early on the day. Very polite and friendly.
The beds very comfortable.

Cons:

Breakfast is very poor quality and offer.
Swimming pool was not clean but understand it was a last minute issue (as far informed ).
Rooms close to road so noisy at some point.
No balcony but expected as it was what was told when booking (pictures).
More than 6 people at swimming pool and no chair to everyone and staff refuse to put more.

Nice but riddled with problems and concerns
Pros:

It was clean and the room had everything you would need and the location of the hotel was good. Pool area looked nice however I didn’t use it

Cons:

Air conditioning didn’t work or kept breaking. Being out for hours in the sun and coming into the hotel room and it being the same temperature as outside because the aircon stopped working was incredibly annoying and kept happening multiple times.

When booking a taxi to the airport in the early morning the receptionist mentioned he can get his friend to drop me off for a cheaper rate than a taxi, no problem. What was a problem was his friends was either 1. Drunk 2. Too tired to drive, or 3. Wasn’t a good driver. I say this because the 30 minute drive to the airport became a nightmare as the driver kept steering between lanes and driving in the middle of the road, kept driving right up to the back of other cars at high speed and almost hitting them before swerving out the way. Went off the road twice before his Tesla beeped at him to get back on the road. Amongst other things he done this was the most unsafe I’ve ever felt in a taxi (to my knowledge he wasn’t even a taxi driver just some random guy) so I’m incredibly annoyed at the receptionist for this situation
