Overall this is a very nice aparthotel . The plus points- clean, quiet, comfortable . Loved our rooftop terrace . Apartment serviced every other day which was fine . Bikes for hire at reception . Pool area is lovely with lifeguard on duty . Straight across the road to the beach . Supermarket next door . Negatives - it is a good 20 min walk to the main hub - it is a flat walk . There is a charge for the safe - which is a little bit of bleeding the customer dry . Alongside this for a slightly later checkout - which was possible- a charge of 50€- even for an hour ! The apartment looked out in a building site with work starting after 7- however when on the rooftop it was not really a problem . If anyone were booking a swim up room - there is a corner one which basically does not get any sun - the one beside it a little only . Worth being careful booking that if sun a priority.

We stayed here for 2 weeks late August. As a whole everything was fine and we enjoyed our stay. All staff friendly, accommodating and hard working. The majority of the reviews are accurate. Cleaners were in every 2 days as far as I could tell. A big clean on every other visit and a dust over in between, towels changed. Has everything you need. Room size for 2 people would be excellent. We are 2 adults and 2 under 10 and the room was a squeeze but it worked, just. Light on storage for 4 people. Kitchen small but equipped & functional. Aircon & WiFi included. Location is great, beach just across the road. Water sports just down the road. Spa next door. 15 minutes to the far end of the strip, loads of restaurant options but personally I preferred the old square and the area beyond the roundabout - was worth the extra 5 minute walk. Apart from the day to day, would recommend: Ferry trips from port. Lemon bar for live music. Old town is beautiful, 10 minutes cab ride €15 each way.

“Summer Holiday”

We stayed at the Hobby Club for a week. The beds were quite firm but the sofa bed was so uncomfortable and had metal bars poking out the sides.

We stayed at the Hobby Club for a week. The beds were quite firm but the sofa bed was so uncomfortable and had metal bars poking out the sides. During the week, our towels were changed once but the bedding was not changed at all. The rooms are a really lovely size but would be a bit of a squeeze if there are more than 3 of you. The kitchenette was small but ok for preparing breakfast and lunch. I would not have wanted to cook a full meal but why would you when you are on holiday anyway. The Spar next door was great for essentials such as drinks which were cheaper than the hotel bar. They also had a lovely bakery. The sunbeds were pretty much always full by 8am but the day beds seemed pretty free most of the time. The hotel is in a great location just a 10/15 minute walk into the harbour area. My daughter loved the pool but agree with other comments regarding people coming in off the beach that were not guests of the hotel and using the sunbeds and pool. I think this should be stopped personally as it is very unfair on the paying guests. We had some maintenance issues with the room being that the door frame was hanging on for dear life meaning that it wasn't very secure. This was reported to reception on two occasions and was not even looked at whilst we were there. The main downside for me is if you have a late check out, there is nowhere secure in the hotel to leave your cases and are told to just leave them in reception. There is also no complimentary shower facilities to use once you are out of your room. I did ask at reception and was told I could either shower next to the pool or have a wash in the toilet. I personally like to have a proper shower before travelling especially if I have been wearing sun cream all day and sweating. You can use a complimentary shower at one of the other hotels in the chain and this was a 10 minute walk from the Hobby Club. Overall we did have a nice break in the sun so can't complain too much.

For the great bits .. this is our 4th time here , we had. Swim up apartment with great views and previous we have had rooftop premium apartments it’s a great location and the apartment had plenty of space. . Overall amenities are good but I am sad to say I won’t be staying here again until Cabot raise their game. As over the last three years standards have dropped . The rooms are cleaned every other day however some points need to be addressed the bedding quilts and mattress covers and pillows are dirty ,I strip the beds when we leave and I was shocked by the stains. the floors need to be mopped regularly and the raised worktops were dusty. The shower base is stained and if shower head isn’t placed directly over the plug hole it leaks All over the bathroom floor. The living area needs to be sanitised better sofa covers should be removed and washed regularly or steam cleaned during change overs. Please sort this folks

“Underwhelmed by Hobby Club”

The roof terrace is nice but often can’t be used because of the wind ( not hotels fault!)

The roof terrace is nice but often can’t be used because of the wind ( not hotels fault!) However I feel the rest of the experience is disappointing, with apartments more basic in reality than in the photos. For example, shower tray is well worn, rooms are only serviced every second day. I feel they are charging too much for what is on offer. That said, staff are all very friendly.
