Cleanliness
9
Generally praised across reviews (mentions of 'Netheid', cleaning staff complimented); common areas and rooms noted as clean, with isolated issues (balconies dirty from bird nests).
Service
8.3
Mostly positive — many comments about attentive and friendly staff; however a few reports of inconsistent treatment (specific receptionist, head waiter) and uneven organisation in kids' activities.
Location
8.9
Very good: beachfront location, parking and proximity to the beach highlighted; some guests note the site is a bit removed from bars/restaurants/shops.
Room Quality
7.4
Rooms described as spacious and comfortable but several issues noted: air conditioning problems/uncontrollable temperature, kitchen odors in some rooms, bird nests dirtying balconies, and occasional missing small details (e.g., bottled water).
Amenities
8.2
Strong pool offering (different zones) and good beach access; free parking. Downsides include a small gym for the resort size, limited entertainment activities and a mediocre kids' club organisation.
Value for Money
7.4
Mixed impressions: repeat guests and many satisfied visitors, but several comments that price is high for what is offered (restaurant costs, limited activities) leading to perceived lower value.
Food and Beverage
8.3
Breakfast/buffet frequently praised for variety and quality and attentive staff ensuring items are replenished; some guests reported poor breakfast experiences or greasy dishes in the restaurant and occasional reservation/seat issues for half-board guests.
Overall Experience
8.1
Generally positive overall with many recommendations and repeat stays, thanks to tranquility, pool and location; tempered by weaknesses in entertainment, occasional service inconsistencies and some room-related issues.

Agradable y comoda
Pros:

La piscina muy bien, el desayuno muy correcto (no muy variado, pero buen producto). El personal de recepción, sin generalizar, pero podría ser más amable.

Cons:

Nos retrasamos 15 minutos en la salida, y la llave se nos desactivó. Como respuesta en recepción nos dijeron "hombre, claro..." No pasa nada, lo asumimos. Pero hay muchas maneras de decir las cosas. La amabilidad siempre se agradece.

Pros:

La piscina y bufet desayuno

Cons:

Instalaciones, zonas comunes y habitacion hace falta darle un lavado de cara, muy antiguo todo y deteriorado.
No es un hotel de 4 estrellas con esas instalaciones.

Excellentes prestations de cet hôtel, propre, proche de la mer, excellent pt-déjeuners.
Pros:

Nous avons apprécié la situation de l'hôtel, calme, proche de la mer, propreté impeccable des chambres et de l'hôtel, belles piscines pour faire des longueurs, bonnes chaises longues, personnel très agréable.

Cons:

Le seul petit problème, c'est le peu d'espace au petit déjeuner pour se servir car peut-être trop de monde au même moment.

Pros:

Le cadre, la piscine, le golf, l'accueil du personnel

Cons:

Manque d'informations à l'arrivée, notamment sur la demi pension. Nous découvrons nous-mêmes que nous ne pouvons bénéficier que du buffet à volonté, plutôt restreint, et que malgré le fait d'être en Espagne, il n'y a déjà plus rien à 21h.

Absolute aanrader centraal gelegen in de Costa Brava.
Pros:

Fantastisch personeel, zeer uitgebreid buffet met eggman/lady, restaurant uitstekend, gigantisch zwembad met genoeg ligbedden om uit te kiezen.

Cons:

De bijbehorende beachclub op het strand was vaak zonder enige reden uren eerder dicht dan was aangegeven. Dat was steeds een teleurstelling als je einde middag nog een drankje/hapje wilde halen op het strand.
