  : Large bedroom and bathroom which was clean and bright. Restaurant staff worked hard.
  : The special restaurants were closed Sunday & Monday so we only managed to get into the Italian. They had no white wine! Only rose and red. The food was ok nothing special. The crem brle was not set. They ran out of white wine at the pool bar. We are not big drinkers but we dont expect a bar not to have white wine! Would not call this hotel a 4*. There are better hotels along the front and apparently are a better price

  : Lovely apartments. Hotel was very clean throughout. Good location only 5 minute walk to the beach.
  : Food wasnt great. Alot of the same put out every day. Not enough staff, especially in bar and restaurant. Often had to queue quite along time for a drink, especially in the evening.The bed was extremely uncomfortable, two twin beds next to each other and nothing to secure them together so often slid apart. Entertainment was also very disappointing. Luckily there was a load of bars down the road with live music that were very good.

  : We liked the spacious rooms and close to the beach.
  : - The food was terrible and there was no choice for such a large amount of people. Always cold and extremely low quality. Also a lot of the time we found the trays to be empty so there was nothing to pick from. - Theres the TEX-MEX and Italian restaurant available to prebook. Tex mex was good but Italian was awful. My friend had a lump of uncooked cheese in her Calzone pizza (picture attached) and ours wasnt cooked at all - it had raw dough. We were wondering why the family to our right , left their food , we now know why. We left shortly after ours was served and went to the terrible main restaurant. - Our room got cleaned once during our 5 day stay (beds only made once) Towels smell too and were not changed once but I think this was from the water. - You can hear everything your neighbours say in the room next door especially when theyre arguing at 1am, throwing bottles around the place, ringing the doorbell to get into the bungalow and arguing with their family members telling them to fu** off. - General population is 99% British with 0 manners, loud, council state type of population so you couldnt relax. - We also didnt like how everyone was wearing crocs, tracksuits and had wet hair to dinner there was no standard at all with this. I know this sounds harsh but everyone looked terrible its not difficult to put on some trousers and a shirt. - I wouldnt recommend staying here unless you like cold chicken nuggets and chips for dinner and being surrounded by badly behaved people.
