The accommodation is away from the main road and offers a quiet location. The pool and spa facilities are located a short distance from the accommodation but within easy reach. My studio rooms were a little tired but clean and comfortable with hot water. In room TV facilities could do with being modernised to enable access to internet and portable entertainment

Lovely big apartment

Fabulous big apartment. Booked a studio and was given a really large 1 bedroom apartment with a sea view. Staff were extremely helpful and very polite. Apartment was very clean and comfortable with everything you could need. Could do with a bit of a refurb as the bathroom and kitchen are a little dated. All in all very good value for money.

Disappointing..photos not current!

Photos do not reflect the accommodation. The hotel is run down and very expensive for service received. Sea view room is partial sea view, the rest is a 24hr noisy road and other hotels. Twin beds are not an option...one bed is a sofa bed in the lounge/kitchen area. The airport shuttle is actually the local bus service which stops a couple of hundred metres away, down cobbled pavements. The hotel feels like it is being run down to close it for a much needed refurbishment. Amenities and information were sparse. Very expensive for what we experienced.
