4/10 Fair

Not very good

When we arrived we were asked to pay again even though we had paid in advance. I had to prove that I had paid in advance. When the man gave us our key to the room he just told us what room number with no directions. We walked around the hotel looking for our room for 15 mins before going to ask where it was and even then he just pointed in a direction and left us to find it ourselves. The bathroom door handle was falling off, the bed was not made so we had to locate the sheets and pillows and make it ourselves. When we checked out there weee different people behind the counter who then tried to charge us again for the room. I again had to prove I had paid in full. We would not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all. We were glad it was just one night.

Close to the city center and beaches. Good breakfast. Good value without being luxury
Annick, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

No big surprises - I felt I got what I paid for, neither more nor less. Positives: -Good breakfast with its own omelette bar -Excellent location close to everything, especially where the buses and taxis are, the beach and the harbor -Good pool (not heated, but clean and good size) -No hazzle in finding an available sunbed Negatives: -Internet did not work in my hotel room except for when I sat on the floor close to the door. -The water pressure in the shower was poor, but this might be a problem for the whole of the island.

Olvidadizos

Todo muy bien instalaciones, desayuno, servicio excelente, pero contrato un transfer y se les olvidó, mi aviòn llegó a las 2am, suerte que pillé un taxista honrado. Contraté la caja fuerte y se olvidaron de anotarlo, fui yo quien tuvo que decirlo, la pagué porque soy honrado
