Room and bedding was comfortable with AC keeping room at a comfortable temperature. No bathrobes for going between the pool and our room. Bathroom is a little tired and dated. Wifi was great and staff were helpful. Loved that eat street was across the rd. Paid for the buffet breakfast, which was good value for money. ##### Meagan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Erin 22 Sept 2025 Liked: Staff & service, amenities Breakfast menu could be better. ##### Erin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### MARK 22 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Nice place great service & food was fantastic ##### MARK Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ashley 12 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great location, close to lots of activities and restaurants.

Service was excellent, and the meals were absolutely fantastic - there is not one thing we could order that didn’t taste like it was from a high end restaurant, and we ordered quite a few things. Over our 4 days of stay, spas were unfortunately either under maintenance or not hot enough and a bit mossy. ![In the lobby waiting to go have dinner](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/30ee9525-1324-436f-bc3f-80aa929c451f-1755052413043.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Ruby Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Raewyn 30 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Great stay at Novotel.

Friendly staff and excellent breakfast. The only thing downside is that the bathroom and the building is a bit tired, although very clean for its age. May need a renovation soon. The bed was clean and the mattress was excellent. Highly recommended. ##### Hyun Sub Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Amour Holiday Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Corfu-Hotels-Amour-Holiday-Resort-All-Inclusive-Adults-Only.h38147134.Hotel-Information) > > [Clayton Hotel Cardiff Lane](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dublin-Hotels-Clayton-Hotel-Cardiff-Lane.h1186302.Hotel-Information) > > [LABRANDA Corralejo Village - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/La-Oliva-Hotels-LABRANDA-Corralejo-Village-All-Inclusive.h4514895.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Morar Beach](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Morar-Beach-Hotels.0-l6088803-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotel Xcaret Mexico - All Parks / All Fun Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Playa-Del-Carmen-Hotels-Hotel-Xcaret-Mexico-All-Parks-All-Fun-Inclusive.h18335979.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel Folkestone, a member of Radisson Individuals](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Folkestone-Hotels-View-Hotel-Folkestone.h900681.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Hungerford](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hungerford-Hotels.d11972.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Titanic Palace](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hurghada-Hotels-Titanic-Palace-Aqua-Park.h11626685.Hotel-Information) > > [Nairobi Serena Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Nairobi-Hotels-Nairobi-Serena-Hotel.h9864.Hotel-Information) > > [Haddon House Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bridport-Hotels-Haddon-House-Hotel.h22607971.Hotel-Information) > > [Beach Star Ibiza Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sant-Josep-De-Sa-Talaia-Hotels-The-Beach-Star-Ibiza-Adults-Only.h10218595.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Estepona](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Estepona-Villas.d5128-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Hotels in Richmond](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Richmond-Hotels.d601761.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Spa Hotels in Royal Leamington Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Royal-Leamington-Spa-Hotels-Spa-Hotels.0-0-d180826-tSpaHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Gros Piton](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Gros-Piton-Hotels.0-l6273458-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Torbay Court Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paignton-Hotels-Torbay-Court-Hotel.h36332003.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Zilara Cancun - Adults Only - All Inclusive](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cancun-Hotels-Hyatt-Zilara-Cancun-Adults-Only-All-Inclusive.h1635542.Hotel-Information) > > [The Originals Boutique, Hôtel Maison Montmartre Paris Les Puces](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Paris-Hotels-The-Originals-Boutique.h22833616.Hotel-Information) > > [All-Inclusive Hotels in Baja California Sur](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Destinations-In-Baja-California-Sur-All-Inclusive-Hotel.0-0-d11116-tAllInclusiveHotel.Hotel-Filter-Destinations) > > [Villas Oura](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oura-Villas.d6157533-aaVillas.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [Flights from Derby (EMA) to Bilbao (BIO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/ema/bio/east-midlands-to-bilbao) > > [Flights from Southampton (SOU) to Faro (FAO)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/sou/fao/southampton-to-faro) > > [British Airways San Francisco (SFO) to London (LHR) flights](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flight-routes/british-airways-from-san-francisco-intl-to-heathrow/ba/sfo/lhr) > > [Flights from London (LHR) to Florence (CVG)](https://www.expedia.co.uk/lp/flights/lhr/cvg/london-to-cincinnati) ### Packages ### General
