Piscina infinita y paz infinita.
Pros:

Hotel tranquilo y silencioso, con personal amable.

Cons:

Sugeriría que hubiera ducha de teléfono. La única opción es que caiga el agua desde arriba, y esto no es cómodo para todo el mundo.
Sería muy útil que todas las habitaciones dispusieran de algún lugar para colocar las prendas de playa cuando están mojadas.

A great time at Hotel Chiqui!
Pros:

The staff were super friendly and accommodating. There was great communication before our trip and the staff were helpful in answering our questions and giving us information.
There is a locked room for luggage drop off if you arrive too early for check in.
There is a fridge with a bottle of water in the room. Handy if you want to store snacks to take with you on your day out.
Efficient air conditioning in the room which was needed and good black out curtains making for a good night's sleep.
The hotel is in a convenient position - just next to the beach and 15 minutes drive from the airport.

Cons:

There is a need to book loungers around the pool (which is a lot smaller than the impression in the photo). However, this is free of charge and can be done using a link the hotel sends. However, my link didn't work but the hotel booked for me. As it happened, there were plenty of free loungers when we wanted to use them anyway.
The room said 'sea view' which was a bit of a stretch.

Carissimo e sporco
Pros:

Il personale alla reception gentile

Cons:

L’hotel non raggiunge il mio standard di pulizia. Ho speso più di 1000 euro ( per due stanze )per soggiornare la notte della eclissi e francamente mi vergogno per loro.Le foto le ho scattate nella nostra “ superior”…. Ogni commento è superfluo.

Hotel ideal en una ciudad junto a la playa
Pros:

La ubicación ideal, la atención del personal muy amables, la habitación sencilla y muy limpia. Y un desayuno muy variado y muy rico

La verdad es que es de los pocos hoteles en los que he estado que no tengo nada que no me gustara.

A relaxed city stay.
Pros:

This was our fourth stay. The location is fabulous, with easy access to seafront and a coastal walk. Staff on reception are exceptionally helpful and attentive, with thanks to Ismail and Javier. The cleaners do a thorough job. The room had a balcony where we could put together a light lunch with food from the supermarket 5 mins away.

Cons:

Restaurant staff service is a bit hit and miss. We had dinner twice, and the food was good but staff not attentive enough to check you had everything in a timely way.
