I
had
such
high
hopes
for
this
hotel
but
was
left
feeling
a
little
underwhelmed.
Unfortunately
my
attempts
to
engage
with
the
hotel
prior
to
arrival
via
email
went
unanswered
which
didn’t
set
the
best
first
impressions,
but
fortunately
my
arrival
in
the
early
hours
of
the
morning
was
seamless.
Security
on
the
front
door
wasn’t
too
invasive
and
although
English
was
a
little
broken
from
the
night
staff
they
still
managed
to
explain
the
facilities
and
complete
the
process
quickly.
My
room
was
on
the
3rd
floor
and
although
all
the
rooms
all
promise
a
sea
view
and
balcony,
bare
in
mind
some
stretch
this
feature
a
little
too
much,
as
my
view
was
over
an
adjacent
hotel
tower,
with
the
sea
only
visible
from
the
small
balcony
when
looking
the
right
way.
The
location
of
the
hotel
generally
though
is
perfect,
being
steps
from
the
beach
and
in
the
centre
of
the
main
the
main
strip.
The
room
itself
was
spacious
with
carpet
throughout,
a
separate
armchair
and
a
sizeable
TV.
The
glass
desk
provided
some
good
storage
but
fortunately
there
were
electric
sockets
next
to
the
large
comfortable
bed,
which
was
great.
Bottled
water
was
provided
daily
and
the
whole
room
felt
very
clean.
The
bathroom
was
equally
as
spacious
and
clean,
although
only
had
a
shower
which
on
an
extended
stay
was
a
shame.
It
was
very
large
though
and
worked
well
with
good
power
and
heat
and
there
was
lots
of
space
around
the
sink
area.
Plenty
of
toiletries
and
decent
towels
were
a
delight
too.
Breakfast
was
both
a
delight
and
sad
affair.
Amazingly
it
operates
right
through
until
11am,
which
is
brilliant
if
you’re
on
a
more
relaxing
trip
and
enjoying
late
wakes.
The
staff
are
all
super
welcoming
and
can’t
do
enough
to
help
once
you’re
seated.
The
dining
area
is
large
and
whatever
time
I
turned
up
there
was
never
a
problem
finding
a
free
table.
The
food
selection
though
was
always
a
bit
of
a
let
down
-
there
was
a
very
minimal
hot
selection,
the
bread
choices
weren’t
restocked
often
enough
and
if
you’re
looking
for
more
than
salad
or
fruit
you’re
likely
to
be
disappointed.
While
the
room
was
adequate
enough
it
was
the
rest
of
the
hotel
that
particularly
fell
short
of
the
five
star
category
for
me.
Everywhere
just
felt
a
little
unfinished
or
deserted.
The
building
itself
is
looking
seriously
tired
from
the
outside,
but
there
was
minimal
service
from
any
of
the
bar
areas,
a
lack
of
seating
outside,
no
atmosphere
compared
to
the
adjacent
options
and
just
a
general
feeling
you
were
sat
or
staying
somewhere
partially
closed.
Also
bear
in
mind
that
the
door
to
the
beach
closes
at
6pm,
meaning
a
long
walk
round
to
the
front
of
the
hotel
which
again
adds
to
the
feeling
that
the
hotel
isn’t
totally
engaged
with
the
local
vibe,
where
everywhere
is
open
until
late.
Overall
the
room
was
fine,
the
location
brilliant,
but
generally
it
felt
lacking
of
five
star
credibility.
I’d
consider
on
a
return
visit,
but
only
if
the
price
was
seriously
competitive.
