The last time I visited was 2015, so I was already anticipating a cheap and cheerful "you get what you pay for" hotel. The room was nice, simple, basic and had everything I needed. I wasn't too impressed with the food - don't get me wrong, there was a few choices at every meal, always fresh fruit available, but compared to other places, I've visited, it was just kind of disappointing. I'm not a huge fan of most foreign destinations' ability to do a "full english" - I don't like the sausages or bacon, but that isn't a criticism of this hotel, I have found it the same in most places. The desserts were bland and boring as well. I am not a fussy eater though, so did find something I wanted at every meal. I was surprised at how quiet the pool area was, and there were very few children here despite it still being UK half term. Generally the hotel was quiet except the restaurant which seemed to be constantly busy. There weren't many UK tourists, most seemed to be French. I found other guests at the hotel (and when out and about) to be arrogant and rude with no regard for anyone else. How people can just stand blocking the only doorway to a shop stopping anyone else entering or leaving and being totally oblivious about it is beyond me. The noise at night was tolerable for me, maybe not for those with young children. The walls were paper thin though. The area itself is lovely, the odd pushy man (not discriminating, but it was always a man) outside the shops encouraging you to go in the shop or buy something. I would recommend it here, I would probably hate it in the height of summer now my children are older, but it was a nice place to stay
