“Great place for a active family”

Just spent a week here and it was just perfect. We stayed half board which worked very well for our family, the food was a bit of an odd mix but tasted great and enjoyed every meal. We stayed in a beachfront villa which was a perfect location and the kids absolutely loved the beach lagoon. The location of the hotel is the end of the line not much around but is ideal for a nice beach front walk to the shops and lots of restaurants about 10 minutes away (with 2 children) we also hired bikes and a very reasonable price a shop next door to the hotel. You can follow the costal path for miles. Idea for active families. Overall the hotel does needs updating, the cost is definitely for the location more then anything else of this was updated it would be more the double the current price. The staff were lovely, polite and helpful. Last thing we didn't have any issues with any cockroaches.

“Relaxing break”

We had a nice relaxing stay here, beachfront apartment. The apartment needed a refresh but was nice and relaxing, unfortunately our bed broke part way through our stay and the staff were brilliant, we had a new bed within 30 minutes.

We had a nice relaxing stay here, beachfront apartment. The apartment needed a refresh but was nice and relaxing, unfortunately our bed broke part way through our stay and the staff were brilliant, we had a new bed within 30 minutes. The main restaurant does a buffet evening meal for €13 each and was well worth it.

“Good overall”

Let’s start with the positives - great location right on a beach although there are much nicer beaches a few minutes walk away, apartments well equipped, food good, lots of swimming pools, very clean.

Let’s start with the positives - great location right on a beach although there are much nicer beaches a few minutes walk away, apartments well equipped, food good, lots of swimming pools, very clean. However could do with maintenance- no Sun loungers are great & lots were broken. None of the pool showers worked. Pools freezing. Some staff great others not. They refused to give us a second key. One evening we lost our key so finally went to ask to borrow the spare one so we could lock the door for the night. We knew it had to be somewhere in the apartment but just couldn’t find it then. Told us no spare key - not true as cleaning staff kept coming in & out of the apartment & we were told the lock would be changed & we’d be charged for a lock change. I’d fully accept paying the cost of getting a key cut but thought this was unfair & the whole attitude of Fernando was unnecessarily nasty. Beds uncomfortable & one broken. We were in Montana & were kept awake until 2am some nights from loud music from La Soleil bar. Our flight home was at 9pm but we couldn’t use the pool or beach on our last day as once we’d checked out of the apartment there was no access to showers or towels.

“Fantastic Family Holiday”

After I had read several reviews for this place after we had booked it I thought hey I will go with my eyes open and just let it be.

After I had read several reviews for this place after we had booked it I thought hey I will go with my eyes open and just let it be. Well I must say on arrival we were greeted by a friendly gentleman at reception who was very helpful and checking us in was fine and helpful and we were able to pay for a safe etc. We were given WiFi log ins which if I'm honest we didn't use but this was because we had data set up with our mobile because we wasn't sure if there was WiFi. I can't comment on the speed etc but while on our holiday we did a family who was using computers (guessing uni work etc) so I guess it must be ok. The room we had was a 2 bedroom Beach Front which had a fantastic view which I wish I could have packed in my case to bring home. The room itself was very clean however I can see what other reviews have said that the room was dated however to be fair, I kind of thought of it as being a normal Spanish room. The bathrooms (yes there were 2) 1 down stairs and 1 upstairs where the second room was were dated too and did look like your old pal down the pub had done a re do of the sealant around the bath and the area around the plug hole looked worn but honestly the showers were the best ever! the power and the hot water was spot on every time we used it. The kitchen area was tidy yet lots of old heat marks etc and to be fair not much in a way of cooking stuff. The cleaning staff I must say were 5 star.
