Staff were friendly and helpful, the buffet style food in the evening was varied from huge kegs of lamb to chicken paella, prawn salads, fruit, all sorts all freshly cooked and delicious. The room was a great size, very clean and well kitted out. Couldn’t fault it all! Will definitely return.

The hotel is in a great location. Breakfast was really good for reasonable price. The rooms are a bit small but well appointed. Very nice pool area. The roof top bar was closed for the season. One criticism is the blow dryers connected to the wall in the bathroom. Just hate these.

The apartment was clean, air-conditioning was good. No door on toilet was more of an issue than expected, privacy was one thing, but being disturbed by light and noise anothe.. no fridge or coffee making facilities in room. There is a communal area with coffee making, and free bottled water in fridge but all rooms open onto it, so you need to be dressed...
