Ich würde immer wieder kommen weil die Lage einfach perfekt ist.
Pros:

Die Lage ist einfach perfekt, direkt am Strand und abgeschirmt von der Partymeile. In der Nebensaison war es sehr entspannt am Strand. Über das Treppenhaus direkt zum Strand... besser gehts nicht.

Muy lindo !
Pros:

El hotel es muy bonito, está muy bien ubicado, la habitación frente al mar, las playas maravillosas. El desayuno muy bueno.

Cons:

Que parece muy mal que las poltronas frente al mar que son del hotel las cobren aparte por usarlas a sus clientes hospedados(US$20.00).

Great location - hotel met our expectations.
Pros:

Great location. Hotel has lovely bar overlooking the beach. Staff very friendly and helpful. Indoor poor area not very nice used once but spent most of our time on the beach. My friend wanted to swim in the morning but pool didn't open till late morning - luckily it was lovely weather.

Cons:

Pool area not appealing. Hours not good for early morning swimmers.

Location fab, on the beach one way and into the old town with all that has to offer the other side.
Pros:

Location!!😃

Cons:

The beautiful view on the balcony was obscured by weird bricks, they need to be replaced with clear panels, that would also help it look more attractive from the beach. I guess parking was a bit of an issue but at least there was free parking allbeit up a bit of a climb of a hill. It wouldn’t put us off returning.

Other than my fall had a very good short stay break and thoroughly enjoyed the hotel
Pros:

Breakfast was very good as was location. Room was ok but bed / mattress a bit hard

Cons:

No kettle in the room so had to ask for one which was quickly provided.
The lifts had been worked on and the exit on floor two was not level with the lift and subsequently on the Sunday I tripped up coming out of the lift and fell heavily causing cuts to my knee and elbow. I reported this as I was in some pain and didn’t want other people to suffer the same fate but the engineer came and sorted the problem. Please advise if any compensation for my pain and suffering

Good location on the beach
Pros:

The hotel location was fabulous on the beach and at the top of the old town. Reception staff were quick to respond and had left a gift for my sisters birthday which was lovely. The room was large and with new decor
The breakfast had lots of choice and the breakfast room staff were lovely.
The inside bar had a musician playing each night and the bar man Luis was very friendly.
Note ..All rooms are seaview

Cons:

It would have been nice if the hotel provided a discount on the sunbeds at the front of the hotel for guests as it worked out at 10 euro a day person which adds to the cost.
