Неплохой отель, удобное местоположение, хороший сервис. Отель не новый, но всё в хорошем состоянии, оригинальный дизайн. 10 минут от пляжа, есть два бассейна. Завтрак очень -очень скромный и мало разнообразный.

I loved the room and the view over the pool but this is where the good points finish. I found the bed to be too hard. My elderly friends room was invaded by ants in the night even crawling into her pillow and she was so distraught she had to sleep in another hotel room at midnight. We went to the restaurant one evening and my friend asked for chips with his dinner which did not materialize and also I tried ordering ordinary coffee and was brought an expresso. I was told the waitress couldn't understand English but this happened another time at the snack bar around the pool where we pointed to empty pineapple bottles and a Pepsi tin and asked for the same only to be brought glasses of lager! The reception staff were lovely and very helpful and a credit to the hotel.

Just back from staying here for 5 nights with friends and I've nothing to complain about. I have to say it was far better than what I expected. The staff here are very nice and friendly, the pool is a great size and the hotel room is fine and has all you need but saying that if you can try stay in apartment part you won't regret it, they are brilliant. Location is great, near enough to the ***** and old town using bolt cost less than €5. The beach is only €2 away. You can get a pool towel at the hotel which costs €3 and €10 deposit. Only let down is it not replaceable each day. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a holiday if you looking to not spend too much but till get a nice hotel. Definitely recommend and would return.
