Hotel The hotel exterior is modern and it overlooks a small beach and the sea. The reception space follows this. It's clean and the main spaces are well kept. The staff were friendly. It has 2 pool spaces. One on a lower level and one on an upper level. Both are a decent size and the lower pool is aimed at kids with a splash pool. There are plenty of sun beds and we found there was no reserving and even at 9/10am, you could get a bed easily. The activities that go on in the day are all fitness based. There's no alternatives such as bingo, quizzes, pool games ect. We felt the hotel was quite adult in it's orientation but that might have been because there weren't many kids there. Room The room was big. We had a junior suit. It had a bedroom, bathroom and a living space. We had a huge balcony. We were in 144. The balconies are all a bit overlooked. More than I've seen before but that wasn't an issue. The rooms are a little tired as in previous reviews but they're clean and functional. There is a fridge, kettle, microwave and a toaster. As well as a fixed to the wall hairdryer. There wasn't many coat hangers. We only had 7 in total but there's loads of wardrobe space. The bathroom had double sinks and is spacious. There is a drying rack on the balcony but bring pegs - it's windy! Food and Drink There are 3 bars. One at the front that overlooks the sea which is chilled, a pool bar and the main entertainment space. Note that the AI finishes at 11pm. This wasn't clear for us before we went. There are limited cocktails then the usual spirits. The wine is nice. Normal and rose procecco are included and the beer on AI is Amstel. You can get water from the pool bar 24 hrs from a machine. You get a bottle of water in the room on arrival. Not sure if you get another. We just filled it up. You get glass glasses from everywhere but the pool bar which is good The food was nice. The selection isn't huge but it's still decent. Providing you don't have one of everything every day, the food isn't repetitive. The dishes are similar most days with slight variations but there are 5 or 6 different things. We're not picky with food but if you are a simple eater, there's not a huge choice of things like pizza ect. There are snacks on the pool bar like hot dogs and burgers which might be more to the simple taste. Location The hotel is well located about 15 mins from the centre. Its a lovely walk along the coast but at night, part of this route isn't lit. You can also easily walk along the street side too. There is a little shopping centre about 5 mins walk then the sea front and square is about 10 mins beyond this. The resort is a nice level of busy. When we were there is was mostly couples (of mixed ages) there were a few families but not a huge amount of kids (maybe that's the time of year). It's lively without being 18-30s which we really liked. The main bars all have last orders at 12:20. Weather The weather was lovely when we went. It was cloudy on some mo
