It was A/I so there was a lot you could choose from. Entertainment was excellent every night. The Hotel was on the beach and had a lovely swimming pool. I am hoping to go again as it was small but so good. Lovely rooms very clean

“A relaxing haven”

Wow, what can I say that is not positive about this hotel. Our room was clean and kitted out with everything you would need, including a safe, air con, toiletries, hairdryer and to our surprise a private terrace.

Wow, what can I say that is not positive about this hotel. Our room was clean and kitted out with everything you would need, including a safe, air con, toiletries, hairdryer and to our surprise a private terrace. This was a sun trap and gave us an aerial view of the terrace below, the sea, street and given privacy with a row of trees and we were fortunate enough to watch parrots fly in and out of them. The staff were very friendly and the receptionist allowed us to borrow a kettle and nothing was too much trouble. As it is a small hotel, you really got to know the staff. It had a relaxed vibe and there were always plenty of sun beds. Don’t get me wrong, sun beds were reserved but not at silly hours. The pool is small but we enjoyed flitting between the pool and beach. The shower by the entrance to the hotel, beach side was useful but the sand was really like fine shingle and didn’t tend to really stick to your skin as much. The food offered huge choice and there was always a meat and fish option. In fact there was a huge array of meat, fish, veg, fruit etc to suit any palette and dietary requirements. The only thing I would say that could be improved was the temperature of the hot food which really should be just that, as it was lukewarm at best. I even had paella which we planned on having at another restaurant out one night but didn’t need to. We thought it was the best food we had in any hotel we had stayed at. The entertainment wasn’t great and geared towards Europeans, particularly Germans and Dutch, with not many English staying the week we were there. The self service bar at night was also a strange phenomenon. The location on the beach was amazing and a good base for sight seeing, particularly to Barcelona, which was just over an hour away by train. This coastal journey was lovely. I believe there are no other hotels on the beach in that local area. Ignore any of the bad reviews and check this hotel out for yourself. You will not be disappointed.

I was dreading this holiday after booking and then reading the horrific reviews! I need not have worried. It really is ok. Not fantastic, but ok. Positives It was a cheap break Hotel is clean and bedroom spotless Food is actually very good (some dishes do get cool quickly but you find that in most AI hotels) Staff are very friendly Entertainment is fun and lively Pool is small but no children so no problem Right on the sea front and beach is spotless Free safe in bedrooms Hairdryer in room surprisingly good Negatives The cheap plastic cups even inside (so much throw away plastic) AI is ok however there is no drink/coffee/water facilities whatsoever after 23.30 even to purchase. Hotel exterior/pool area is VERY basic and dated If you are happy with 3* you will enjoy yourself, but if you prefer 4* you may be disappointed. It really is “you get what you pay for” but if you are with the right people (as I am) you will have fun.
