– Beds are without mattress pad = hard – Using hot water lowered the water pressure considerably – The fridge is more like a freezer = everything froze – Music is heard until about 12 o'clock from the nearby restaurants – Door and luggage noises in the morning – We weren't informed about the pool towel/sunbed policy - had to find out ourselves – The pool is not heated
Tips:
Use the sunbed mattresses as mattress pads in beds Use the included shower gel's cap to keep the faucet pin up Check the shopping center next to the hotel, it's quite versatile

Very fair value, clean
Not a fancy hotel but a great deal for a last minute booking. With hindsight, I wouldn't stay in such a noisy neighbourhood again. Without air-conditioning you need windows open and there's a cacophony of entertainment outside. This did affect our sleep quality. If this doesn't bother you then the hotel is a good choice. Easy walk to the beach, near supermarket, by bus stops. Friendly staff though the hotel is geared to German guests. Luckily neither of us have dietary requirements and enjoyed at least 90% of what we ate and there was plenty of choice. I suggest water be offered complimentary in the restaurant or at least a fairer price. Alcohol was reasonably priced. Pleasant quiet guests / atmosphere. Rooms and pool etc all very clean. We really like having an apartment rather than just a room. We really enjoyed the sunrises in the morning, a pleasant view. Drying area on balcony very useful. Takes ages to boil water on the hob. We didn't prep food but kitchen was equipped enough for us. A lidded bathroom bin would be much nicer. Overall, a relaxing stay.

Poor quality Food & Very Dated hotel
Very dated hotel, clean rooms and public areas, sun-beds old & broken with addition parts added from other broken beds, Food terrible swimming in fat/grease poor selection of your English most if the Female Catering Team (supervisors/Servers) VERY Rude shout in Spanish speak little English totally ruined experience having 13 evening meals out and 7 breakfasts, poor selection bread often stale and fruit when available looks terrible, German peoole seem to be happy hear. Would avoid like the plaque, pay extra and selected a better hotel. TUI were little help especially the Rude Blonde Rep (Spanish) possibly Katrina.

Bad experience with the restaurant
The hotel is a bit dated, but it's fine for sleeping, and the price is reasonable.
The big problem with this hotel is that half-board is mandatory, and the food is awful! Greasy, overcooked, and not very fresh. My wife and I experienced intestinal problems during our 10-day stay.
All the food is poor quality: pink shrimp that leak liquid when you remove the head, fish that smells like stale fish, and bad fruit... The restaurant doesn't even deserve one star!
What's more, drinks are extra in the evenings; you can't even get a glass of water, even though there's a water fountain and sparkling wine at breakfast!
The staff is friendly (except for the restaurant manager), but everyone speaks to you in German, which is frustrating when you're making an effort to speak their language!
A nice wee break
Great location and supermarket round the corner.Easy to park on street near hotel.Staff lovely and hotel very clean but very very dated,everything in working order-take your own hairdryer though!Restaurante good,always had plenty to choose from.The hotel supply pool towels which is great,pool is very cold but managed to get in.Look like new sunbeds at the pool-very comfy. Very quiet in the hotel,cafe only open 11-6.Nothing in the evening.Bar round corner too and was quiet but think it could be noisy at peak times. Negatives-beds in the room were like bricks ,very uncomfortable!! Anyone with limited mobility be aware restaurante downstairs and no lift available,does have wheelchair stair lift.
