"Had a lovely time here, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was lovely however not much of a queuing system so a lot of people was pushing in front and going where ever they pleased which was unpleasant. Our rooms was spacious and clean, however outside in the hallway was not nice or kept clean, bird poo was outside and wasn't cleaned at at all not a nice sight when walking to our room. The lift was also grimey, I think they need a good clean. Shuttle to the beach wss excellent, kids loved it. Overall stay was good, shame there isnt much around outside but if you're happy to stay in the pool and chill out this is the place for you"

10/10 Excellent
"We had a really enjoyable stay at this hotel and would definitely return. The location is excellent for exploring the Old Town, although there are quite a lot of steps up and down around the hotel, so guests with mobility issues may find this challenging. The hotel does offer a shuttle service to the Old Town until 5:30pm, and taxis are very reasonably priced, so getting around wasn’t an issue for us. Our room was very clean, with fresh towels changed daily, and the shower was excellent. The only real downside was the availability of sun loungers. There didn’t seem to be enough for the number of guests, and some were broken, which was a little disappointing. Overall, though, we had an excellent time. The hotel, location and cleanliness were all great, and we would happily return."
