If you are looking for peace and quiet, you should not book this hotel. If you like noise, you will be fine here. There are certainly positive aspects about this hotel: large rooms, nice shower, clean, close to the beach, 45 min walk to Side on the boulevard, baklava every day, the fresh waffles and most of the staff is friendly. But the constant noise prevails and cannot be ignored: at the pool and on the (breakfast)terrace you can hear the air conditioner of the neighboring hotel humming 24/7. It is very loud (70 dB) with a screeching sound a few times a minute as if metal is being cut. Also, in the morning several garbage trucks come beeping by and the glass container is emptied with a lot of noise and shouting. Then the boom boom music at the pool is turned on at 10 am. If you sit as far away from the boxes as possible it's less annoying but then you constantly smell a sewer smell.... On the beach you also constantly hear loud music from the hotels behind it or you hear the engines of the speedboats and jet skis that are right next to the Valentine beach. Other guests also play their own music at the pool or beach and the staff unfortunately tolerates this. In our room you could also hear the boom boom music from the other hotels in the area and/or the neighbors until 23h30 and sometimes later. In short, it's impossible to have a moment of peace and quiet here. Some other small points of improvement: towels too small for the sunbeds, hardly any service at the lobby/terrace, you get water in plastic cups, only plastic cutlery at the beach bar, little choice at the lunch buffet, staff only speaks to you in German when ordering something (even at the reception the gentleman spoke incomprehensible English) and you have to pay for a safe in your room. We will not return here nor will we recommend this hotel to anyone because of the 24/7 noise pollution and I would even recommend you to book another hotel if you still can!
