5th time staying here at KN Columbus. A booking originally for 7 people but turned to 8 people 6 weeks before departure. Last year in october, I requested if we could have 2 bungalows at an upgrade cost of €20 per night per bungalow, which will be payable upon check-in. We were happy to pay this, but unfortunately, upon check-in, we were not successful. We booked with jet2 holidays, and the holiday was booked in January 2023. We got given rooms 141 and 143. The rooms were on the first floor. The rooms was on the pool side but unfortunately the view from our balcony was of the sun terrace and all we saw every day was people sun bathing as the terrace is inline with the room so it also kind of invaded our privacy as the people can look straight into the room. I enquired about a bungalow but got told none available until Sunday (we arrived on a Tuesday) by Sunday, we just wanted a street view room which we did get but one room was 142 ans the other room was at the other end at 102 but we didn't mind this. We have noticed that the rooms have been refurbished recently. New bathroom door and new front door. Our room had a new air-conditioning unit which was very good. The bathroom has an automatic light when you walk in, but this is not good when in the shower as the light goes off, which can be dangerous. Also, the light is very bright if you need to get up overnight to use the bathroom. The sofa bed, I really wish that they would get rid of these because they are not comfortable at all. Why can't they just have 2 single beds or a double bed their instead. We never have it as a sofa, and I don't think any rooms have it has a sofa either. Most sofa beds are broken or have wooden slates down, which are being held together with electrical ties. The room, in general, is large enough for 4 people and clean enough. Nearly every day, we had a cleaner. We didn't use the TV at all. As for noise, we'll get apart from the road noise we didn't hear a thing. We saw groups of lads and women and they were there to have a good time and they didn't bother with us at all and didn't have any problems. We even had a group of lads next door to us, and we didn't hear them. We did not witness any fighting either, as some previous reviews say there has been fighting. The teenagers (x4) who were with us enjoyed the pools and also got involved with the pool games. I was disappointed with the corner being closed. The corner is situated near the pools and it was a nice little bar/restaurant which had very good prices for afternoon snacks etc but during our stay it was closed. The sports bar is closed , and the bar on the other side of the building was closed. The spa was open but did not use it as it's not my thing. The staff are lovely, very helpful and friendly. We needed mobility scooters during our stay. The Columbus has a Disabled Blue Badge rule. If you don't have one, then you are not allowed to bring the scooter inside the building to charge. I believe that this is
