One of the most amazing hotel stays ever! This hotel was absolutely pristine and beautiful, right on the waterfront, modern, clean and with so many amenities! The pool was incredible, hotel bar, rooftop and breakfast were all 10/10! To top it all off, we were greeted with champagne and treats in our room! The staff was fantastic! One staff member in particular, Fernando, was absolutely the best. He went above and beyond to greet us and make us feel welcome! It may sound too good to be true but honestly, it’s not! Hope you enjoy your stay here!
Everything. The friendly welcome and check in was a pleasure. The staff throughout the hotel and brilliant.
That it is rated a 3 star when it should be a 4.
We love this hotel and have stayed many times. The breakfast is fantastic and so are the views from the rooms. The staff is lovely. It is in a perfect locations.
The cleanliness was not very good in our bathroom.
Our stay at the hotel was perfect! Everything was very clean. Above all, the staff was the best part of our stay. Everyone was super friendly, from the front desk to the cleaning staff.
The room was perfect, clean and comfortable, with very nice views to the beach.
Nothing to add here... everything was great.
My room overlooked the Mediterranean Ocean! The hotel features an open-concept design, with stairs for each floor located in the center of the building, which I appreciated. It's a pretty hotel and centrally located!!
Everything was perfect!!
Perfect location, clean rooms, helpful reception. Roof bar in summer is very cool! Room was big and had a nice treat on arrival.
Air Cond was not working properly and main floor bar had 1 person working most of the time which was no good.
Well situated hotel. Great balcony with sea views. Reasonably spacious room and well equipped bathroom.Very comfortable bed.The welcome bottle of cava and plate of treats was an additional bonus. The pool area was lovely too. Didn't have time to use the spa.
Location is very good and the rooms and common areas were very clean
Our room (classic) was on one side of the building, overlooking a not very attractive area covered with pebbles, where seagulls tend to go. If you want a nicer view you'll need to pay for a room with a seaview. Bedside lamps cannot be switched on/off independently, which is a problem if only one of you wants to read!WiFi signal in the room was poor at times.Would be helpful to have a hook or simple clothesline to hang a damp towel or swimsuit on the balcony, this being a beach hotel.I'm aware this is a 3 star hotel, but I still think the price we paid didn't represent good value for the facilities offered.
Really like the hotel. Great location. The staff was amazing. Especially Victor at the front desk.
Light comes through door edges into room
Modern, clean, comfortable and welcoming. Next to the beach. Great buffet breakfast.
Not a major problem but our room #222 shower - bathtub was not fully enclosed so it was difficult keeping water off the floor outside the tub.
The clean, happy yet calm atmosphere. Room was very spacious and facilities and welcome amazing.
Excellent hotel, with lovely swimming pool and super friendly staff. We were sad it was for only one night. Special thanks to Gabriella on the reception. Free parking in surrounding streets outside of July/August - which was great.
Very nice room for a single person with a double bed and two terraces. Welcome cava and gift very surprising and a nice touch. Excellent snack bar and remarkable selection on the buffet, especially at breakfast. Two English TV channels were much appreciated. Have stayed here many times in the past and found it just as good as before.
Would have liked to be able to charge drinks and extras to the room rather than pay each time. Entertainment was the same two nights running, although the second night seemed different due to more audience participation.
Good size twin room and excellent breakfast, staff were helpful and everywhere was spotless.
Roof top pool closed and too many children in the small pool on the ground level so we couldn't use it. This Hotel would be better as adults only.
Fantastic location a view to die for. An unbelievable balcony. Lovely room ‘ welcome bottle of bubbly.
Breakfast was great, the beds were very comfortable. Everything was very modern and clean. We had a side sea view room and the view was very good.
The spa was either closed or fully booked so we didn't get to use it at all over the 4 days we were there.
