Very Poor
Traveller Type: Family with Young Children
  : Bar staff were mostly friendly
  : The whole hotel flooded, bed sheets were not changed, we were given 1 towel for a family of 5 every 2 days so had to buy our own from local shop. Poor facilities. Nothing really in walking distance either.

  : The apartment was a good size.
  : The hotel is in very poor condition and feels abandoned by the sister hotel that runs it. With the main entrances closed you go up around the pool to enter via a fire door propped open by a piece of concrete which has fallen from some part of the building or other. The room had approximately 20 lightswitches, 4 worked. The room itself was in a state of disrepair and dated. Weird arrangement of furniture, basics provided barely, for the weather and climate this time of the year the bedding provided was inadequate and cold. The place feels like a hotel previously run as a club 18-30s holiday location which has since been forgotten and accidentally left running.

  : Half term October 30 a night for a family room and walking distance to the beach. Yes I would stay here again for a few nights.
  : Yes the place is indeed of a revamp, could do with mattress protectors etc, clean the outside pool.

  : Location for us was just right - walking distance to the strip is approx 15 mins. 4-5 in an uber Apartment size was perfect
  : The hotel is very, very tired. In disrepair.Day/Night 1 - On arrival we noticed how ran down the room was. Lights hanging off the wall, broken chairs on the balcony. Ripped curtains, cigerette burns and ground in stains on the bedding. Wardrobe doors hanging off. We realised the balcony door to the bedroom wouldn't lock, so my daughter didn't want to sleep alone. She's 9, she didn't feel safe. Couldn't do much about anything due to the time. Not enough blankets, 2 between 3 of us.Day 2 - no hot water. A quick dip in and out of the shower, which was more of a bath as the water took 10 minutes or more to drain away. The hob was very temperamental, gave up trying to cook some breakfast and went out. As a self catering unit to not have working facilities or enough cutlery/utensils was frustrating. Not to mention a waste of money on food we were now unable to cook - the microwave was fine but we didn't have microwaveable food! Went into the main body of the hotel to find rain water everywhere. The ceiling/glass roof was clearly leaking, and water was on the tables and floor - a health and safety risk! Asked at reception for a third blanket, this never arrived. Explored the outside pool area, it was filthy. Rubbish, discarded glasses, pool full of leaves. The area looked like a construction site but without any work taking place.Went to the indoor pool to be greated with a plate of chicken nuggets on one of the sunbeds which took 3 days to be removed.Day 3 - housekeeping took our towels but never replaced for clean ones so had to traipse down to reception to get some clean ones.We were on the third floor and that's a lot of stairs! Please note the elevator is like something out of a horror movie. It groans, bangs and rattles. It drops in height as soon as someone steps inside. Come bedtime, we convinced our daughter to use the bedroom, upon getting into bed, she was greeted with a bed full of ants!

Wonderful
