Recently refurbished/reopened to a high standard. Wonderful restful break.
This was a very clean, recently refurbished hotel. Work still being done but everything we needed & didn't affect our stay. Approximately half of the hotel rooms appeared to be in use. Restaurant & pools all fully open. Jacuzzi, indoor pool changing area not yet operational. Everywhere very clean & constantly cleaning communal areas throughout the day. Lovely surroundings- brill pools, clean, plenty sunbeds.
Plenty of good food- great variety & amount. Mix of salads, cooked meats cheese, then hot options of meat, fish, vegetarian, pasta, rice, stew. breads, fruit & cake for desert. Large cakes you needed to be quick, especially with a few piling plates high- disgusting when later you saw it left for the bin, such a waste. If you didn't like all of the food there would always be something unless you are super fussy. Never asked about special needs eg gluten free, you would need to ask for your circumstances. All seemed very obliging so I would think they would cater if you asked. Morning & afternoon snacks was pizza, pasta, chips & biscuit's. Drinks in the bar tasty but not sure how alcoholic some were- you could drink a lot with no effect, bars outside the hotel another matter.
Close to beach & old town. Locked gate out the back of the hotel, access via room keys. Across a road to the beach & sea. Bars, restaurants & shops on this road. Busy more with people than vehicles. Walked into the old town where there are other beaches, Bars & restaurants all spread out. Very atmospheric, great views. Food & drink very reasonable.
Nice clean spacious rooms. Down side it overlooked a busy street & the football stadium, however we only showered/slept in the room so it was never an issue, & traffic light so didn't keep us awake. We had a wonderful relaxing break. Lots of steps/ridges to get used to.
Pools & animation geared up for children. Evening childrens disco which all seemed to love & kept them entertained. We would have liked more seating outside for the evening. Plenty of sunbeds for during the day. Once kids disco finished bar still open but now no music- a singer for adults would be good but feel as more things open this may happen.
Our big downer as non-smokers was the smokers! They can smoke everywhere except one of the inside restaurants- but we even did see vapers in there despite the notice on the door! From a personal view I would prefer they were in a designated area. I would have liked to have eaten outside in the open air, but not with the smokers.
We didn't have young children but there was plenty to do for them & they were well catered for, including slides & fun area in one one the pools- under 12's. very family orientated.
Staff all friendly & helpful however not all could speak any English. Google translate & hand signals made everything ok.
Would we go again- yes, both to the hotel & the resort.
Would we recommend- yes, we loved it & had a great time.
