This is my first ever holiday I have been on and I have no words to express how amazing it was from the hotel to the location to helpfulness
1st off I’d life to say thank you to all the staff at the hotel ,helpful and kind they went above and beyond for us and it means a lot for someone that has never traveled they helped us with booking things to do and was always there to answer questions it’s quite overwhelming when your in a totally new location and the staff made sure we was cared fore and looked after
2nd/ the hotel is the perfect location next to so many great restaurants and the food is amazing / our favourite restaurant was (Metrópole Restaurante & Bar Lounge) possible the best food I have ever tasted the beach front in front of the hotel is breathtaking.
3rd/ the room was nice and cozy and the bed and pillows were amazing the brekfast was brilliant too room is a 8/10

We had a fantastic short stay at this hotel a few months back. The hotel is right on the beach, with a great location in town but also has lots of on-site facilities - 2 restaurants, several bars, nice gym and lots of sun loungers to make the most of the pool and outside areas.
Our room was beautiful with beach and sea views. And the staff were very friendly whenever we had any questions and went out of their way to get us a reservation in the beachside restaurant last minute.
Would definitely recommend this hotel.

Rang and booked a table for 3 adults, to celebrate my anniversary. Spoke to a lady who booked us a table outside with a lovely view, as requested. On arrival, was met by a gentleman who waved his hand around the restaurant, as if to say, sit were you want. I explained that we had booked a table outside, but he said ‘No, we don’t serve food outside’! His attitude really annoyed me. No apology given or explanation, so we left the restaurant and found a wonderful restaurant further down the strip!!!!

Pros: - Great location (promenade within 2 mins walk of entrance) - On the beach - Excellent staff (especially Vanessa on the welcome desk) - Breakfast available - Beds were really comfortable
Other Information - On site Indian restaurant (10% discount for residents) - Small pool, one deep section (3.5m), one shallow section (1.5m) - Beach restaurant gives 10% discount to residents (Palm Beach Restaurant) - Beach loungers are not the hotels, you would need to pay an additional fee to use them, example prices for an afternoon were 13 Euros per sun lounger (at the time we went) - Watersports activities on the beach via another company - On site beauty salon and hairdressers
Relaxing break in a hotel where the beach, promenade, nearby bars and restaurants are all within walking distance.

Exterior looking dated and shabby, interior acceptable but could do with modernisation. Room in need of refit, bathroom, cracked tiles and extractor fan not working. Balcony very small,air con unit rusty and safety hazard. Food generally very good, varied and plentiful. Restaurant staff were friendly and attentive. Room was cleaned very well on a daily basis. Beach was excellent, which was a bonus, as you had no chance of getting a sun lounger, unless you made the towel dash at 7.30 in the morning. Hotel bar and reception staff were generally ignorant and boarder line rude. It was clearly obvious that as Saga holiday persons, you were not considered worthy enough to receive table service and would be ignored at the bar. Hotel toilet extractor fans not working, therefore smell. Would not return.
