    Pros +

    • The location is GREAT, right next to the promenade and the beach with a lot of bars and restaurants. The stuff is very professional and kind. Terrace with sunbeds with the sea view is amazing.
    • Location was great, close to the beach.
    • Nice and clean inside hotel,amazing room with private jacuzzi and big balcony.

    Cons -

    • Breakfast was bad. Very poor quality food and very little variety. If you want to eat some vegetables there are only slices of tomato and cucumber, fruits were rotten and olives were dry. The scrambled eggs tasted like they were made from powder. Also there is a mold under the shower.
    • The first room assigned did not have a balcony (although we booked a room with a balcony) and was small. We had to pay additional 50 euro per night to get a better room, as the supervisor from reception informed us. The initial receptionist was nice and patient, not the same thing with the supervisor. The carpets were worn out, some places need renovation and cleaning, the cups in the room were dirty. The spa area definely needs updates, renovation.
    • Buffet food on the evening was very poor and cold and the staff were clearing away ten minutes before closing time at 9.30p.m. Felt very rushed and unwelcoming

    Good location - staff were attentive, and the hotel was perfect for a few days away. We stayed on the 6th floor, an extra large bed which was very comfortable. Walk in shower and double sink in the bathroom. Room was modern and cleaned daily with a fridge and a complimentary bottle of both water and wine. We stayed half board, good selection at breakfast and something for everyone at dinner time. Spa - could do with a little TLC but the free 1 hour was welcomed when the weather wasn't good.The average age was 60+

    Room was nice but noisy because of the lift going up and down

    Entertainment and Breakfast

    Noise from main sea front road. No iron and ironing board.

    8DianePosted on: 3-15-2025

    Fantastic position on the seafront promenade and close to the marina

    Some garden areas were untidy with broken sun beds. The indoor pool could have been slightly larger and there were no showers close by to use after using the steam room or sauna. There is also a charge after your initial first visit.

    Nice buffet, although it was very much geared to the British customers.Excellent location on the beach, easy access to the boardwalk. Nice looking pool and deck.Most of the staff was nice and helpful.

    The glasses in the room were dirty, the bathroom soap had spilled and caked over over onto the sink, and the clothes hook in the bathroom had been pulled out of the wall prior to our arrival.The shower spills onto the floor extremely easily, when used.Floor was dirty and had severe water damage.The safe didn't work, even after maintenance came to service it.

    Great position, friendly staff, and lovely room.

    8MichaelaPosted on: 2-24-2025

    Great location, nice staff.

    Have stayed previously, and sadly found the standard of the food had come down.

    7DavidPosted on: 2-13-2025

    10carolPosted on: 2-6-2025

    Perfect location. View from bedroom, perfect. Good size bed.

    Although the sat nav said we had arrived at our destination. We couldn't tell what hotel as the hotel sign didn't say Med playa.

    5ZoePosted on: 1-31-2025

    Location, reception area, restaurant and bar. Food selection was good. Very good value for money.

    The ‘dynamic’ pool, jacuzzi area very dingy - I wouldn’t go in it. The canopy to take you from the left to the ground floor beach access very grotty.

    7SirjaPosted on: 11-23-2024

    Breakfast buffet with a variety and a large selection. Access to beach from hotel. Room was nice.

    Not so comfy beds with hard martress. Really dark colour prison-like corridors.

    8JuliaPosted on: 11-16-2024

    Food was goodRooms where clean and staff friendlyGood spa facilties

    Bad floors all warped in the bedrooms We stayed with family and theirs was the same

    8DannyPosted on: 10-15-2024

    restaurant areas really nice

    the pool area & no w/c facilities close by

    7DoolanPosted on: 9-2-2024

    The hotel is well situated for the beach and the marina. Plenty of sunbeds away from the pool to be used, as the pool was always taken by 10am.

    The hotel could benefit from some upgrades. The floors are very creaky, and the general upkeep of the furniture. We moved room during our stay due to noise from the ceiling (8th floor) and we were reallocated a room which was close to the elevators resulting in us being able to hear the lift shaft continuously. Thankfully, the hotel goes quiet after 11pm so this was not so much of an issue.

    10PaulPosted on: 9-1-2024

    Lovely hotel great location

    Your directions it's signs all sY blue , not med pad playa so drove around for 30 minutes before we realised that the name on the booking was wrong

    8MagsmccPosted on: 8-28-2024

    Located on fantastic area. Hotel wasn't too big and ideal for adults ( not many kids) for that get away without them....DJ. THE BEST- MORE OF THAT..

    Floor boards were horrendous in our room every step Very annoying for my husband and I.Lists are just too slow

    8DarrenPosted on: 8-18-2024

    The location is great as it’s on the beachfront. The rooms could possibly need a bit of a revamp but they served the porpoise.

    Lifts too slow , the food was ok but I wouldn’t say it was quality for a 4star hotel . Having people getting up early to get a sunbed is ridiculous . We spent the last 2 days on the beach because of the sunbed hoggers.
