We have stayed in the old town before and the Montemar was just as we expected .... and more.
Out of the front door, cross the road, through the park and onto the beach. Turn left and walk 100 yards and you are in the mix of the shops and restaurants. What could be a better location?
Although our room was not on the sea side of the hotel (and perhaps a good thing with shade all day) it was spacious and well appointed. The 6th floor balcony is an excellent addition. Sun, sea and loungers in full sun all day.
The breakfast set you up for the whole day. All diets were catered for - bacon, sausage, three styles of eggs, cheese, ham, cereal, yoghurt - in buffet style and replenished right through. The TV too had channels from across Europe.
And the evenings were delightful - entertainment, music and dancing. The MC was wonderful and greeted you each evening as a long lost friend. And all staff were really helpful.
I highly recommend this hotel.
