Well organised crew, from the folks at the parking gate to the receptionists they were efficient and clear about everything.
Rooms were clean and bright. Perhaps ever so slightly dated, but it's OK for a beach hotel. Very convenient bus service to the city center running throughout the day for a modest price.

The Hotel weak WiFi and phone line coverage meant my wife and I had to cut short our stay as we couldn’t not work from the hotel, which is the reason why we chose it, as it was part of our work holiday. The rest of the hotel was fine but as we were not able to enjoy our stay, this left us a bitter experience.

Short family stay
It was very clean and like new, and the room service was great. But there was a refrigerator in the room that was not working purposely, as they said it could only be used for a cooler. There was no ice, and you can’t drink the tap water, they wanted you to buy your drinking water! Insane! Also, there was no parking, and we had to park 2 miles away from the hotel to find street parking. The beach is very nice, and more quiet then the southern part, the water is prettier also. I wouldn’t stay again, Too much of a hassle with kids.

Property is dated but clean. Very sparse in decor, no pictures on the wall. The location is good and convenient to the beach. We purchased the Full Board option but the food was pretty gross and the fact you have assigned times to eat felt very limiting. It wasn't ideal to plan our day around when we could eat. We ended up not eating there but there is an excellent restaurant just steps away. Overall, I'd give the property a 3.5 out of 5. Staff weren't very friendly or helpful. I don't think we'd return b/c it is was very loud with music going well into the night.

La habitación ha sido con una ubicación muy buena, con vistas al mar y a la piscina. El trato del personal inmejorable, tanto en las diversas dependencias como en el comedor. La limpieza todo perfecto cada día. Lo único algo flojo ha sido la comida, quizás por la coincidencia con con grupos del Inserso. Aún así recomiendo este hotel en su conjunto que debería tener calificación de excelente.

Decepcionado porque no han tenido la mínima consideración. Debido a la Dana y el corte de la autopista, llamé para decir que no podría usar mi reserva pero no me lo cogieron. A la mañana siguiente me devuelven la llamada y me dicen que contacte con ellos por e-mail para que me devuelvan el coste de la reserva. Así hago y me dicen que lo sienten, pero que ni siquiera les llamé para decir que no iría y que como la reserva era no reembolsable no me devolverían el dinero. Contacto con hoteles.com (a través de la app que hice la reserva) y lo me contestan que la reserva se hizo directamente con el hotel, que ellos no pueden hacer nada. Vamos, que me han llamado mentiroso y me han robado.
