4 / 5 Good

The rooms were very clean and spacious. They were cleaned everyday and towels changed. The pool was lovely but the area around the pool could do with a bit of upgrading (lots of uneven/broken tiles) which could pose a danger to children/elderly. The food was nice, good selection at breakfast however the hot food was cold most mornings. We only had breakfast so it didn’t bother us too much. Other than this we were extremely satisfied with our stay and proximity to the beach and marina were perfect. Just a short 10 minute walk to either.

3 / 5 Okay

There were more negatives than positives. When we checked in the Reception did not inform us of how to access the WiFi, the room safe or how to get the pool towels. For a room that holds 4 people (junior suite) there was a large wardrobe but only 10 hangers for 4 people. What an absolute waste of space. There was very limited drawer space in the room. In the bedroom there was a large table holding the TV which could have had drawers underneath. The bedside tables had no drawers in. Who designs these rooms. We were told (only after I’d asked) that you collect the pool towels at 10am at the side of reception. When I went at 10am the next morning there was no-one there. I asked reception how you got the pool towels. The lady literally just got me some from the back room. There were no instructions on where to return the towels when you’d finished with them. It seems you just left them on your sunbed but this isn’t good because people don’t know when you’ve finished with the bed if someone left a towel behind. There should be a large bin to return them to. But why is none of this explained. It encourages people to just leave towels on the sunbed when they are no longer use. One afternoon there were three of us on one bed with empty beds around us with towels lying on them, clearly no longer in use. Why not have all towels on a shelf if there’s no limit in who can have one. Why employ a girl to sit there all day handing towels out.
