“Very enjoyable - great value!”
Room was clean and adequate. Bathroom good. Location excellent. Staff exceptional, bars good but not "cheap". Plenty of entertainment though not necessarily to everyone's taste.

“We made the best of our time”
When booking double check if you room has a view or balcony. They also have internal rooms. Great location. Bathroom could use a small shelf or drawer and a hairdryer. Everyday is a different theme of entertainment. Really friendly and accommodating staff. Great food menu and drinks. I would recommend this place to divers and hikers!

“Great location, Great staff and amenities.”
We booked an apartment due to having a kitchenette as our kid is super picky on food and like this we could prepare him what he likes. The room was very clean and had all that we required. The location is excellent as it is close to a parking area, to the sea and to a big selection of restaurants. The hotel also has it's own bars which also provides food and has daily live entertainment. Staff was very friendly and nice to chat with.

Great guest experience; comfortable and functional rooms, and a welcome drink coupon for a choice of drinks from the bar. Good range of products in the mini bar at reasonable prices. Highly recommended

paid the deposit in cash, as this was offered as an available option. However, when it came time to check out, the receptionist on duty that morning clearly had not received a proper handover and was unable to locate where the cash deposit had been kept. He appeared visibly frustrated, huffing and puffing, slamming things, and swearing, as he seemed to have no idea what he needed to do. He then incorrectly told me that the stay had not been paid for and suggested that the deposit could be used to cover the payment. I explained that the stay had already been paid in full and asked him to please return the deposit, as we needed to leave as soon as possible. At one point, he even offered to send the money to me himself via Revolut, which felt very unprofessional. After several calls to the other receptionist—who clearly was still asleep after her shift (and rightly so) she eventually messaged him to explain where the cash had been kept. Overall, the situation was poorly handled and highlighted a clear lack of communication and professionalism at the front desk.
