Having booked and then read the reviews on this page I arrived at the hotel expecting the worst or at least not too much. Pleasantly suprised! The ease of check-in was good - and thanks to the review about needing deposits for the air-con and tv remotes and the safety deposit - I was well prepared!
My room was on the 3rd floor, very spacious, clean and all the facilities you will need for a self catering holiday (although the kitchenette would be difficult to prepare a full meal in as it only has a small 2 ring hob.) The beds were very comfortable and the views were good, although there is a busy road that runs in front of the hotel - but you seem not to notice this in time!!
The pool is of a good size and the pool area gets the sun for most of the day - there have been comments on here about the lack of sunbeds..that would probably be right in the high season, however the beaches are too nice to sit around the pool all day! The pool is very clean but deeper than I expected!
The bar was only used twice as the prices are at least double what you will pay a short walk up the road and the staff didn't seem too friendly, although no specifics!
The reception staff are quite knowledable and friendly, although you can actually get cheaper day trips from some of the shops in town (taxi transfers offered at 28€ but can get for 20€ in town).
Don't make the mistake of getting a taxi to the Old Town either (average 5€) as there is a land train that costs 3€ return. The Old Town is well worth visiting as it takes you away from the 'kiss me quick brigade' on The Strip! However the restaurants in and around The Strip are worth visisting catering for every taste.
Coyote Bar, a short walk from the hotel, is worth 1€ a beer! plus if you like your sports all the football was shown (Play up Pompey!!)
Paulis Italian restaurant was excellent as was Donaldos just off the strip - the sardines were superb!!
Hope that this helps! All in all a good base and I would be happy to visit again.
