Organised an airport transfer but no one came to collect, luckily there was a night guard who could still check us in and we did get a free upgrade. Also extending the stay was very easy. Location is good very near the beach and room condition was great also. Would recommend
Nice enough hotel just a short walk to the centre of the town.
First night there was a loud buzzing from electricity box that kept me up all night. That was sorted the next day.
I had 2 VIP Gold offers on my account. They failed to provide either of them. Didn’t receive a bottle of sparkling wine on checkin. Indeed they charged me €2 for a bottle of water.
I was also entitled to free late checkout. They refused unless I paid €25 (so there was obviously availability).
The shower seems to run out of hot water by 9am. So I couldn’t shower before checking out.
It’s ok for the price, but might be worth ignoring any Gold benefits offered (you won’t get them) and paying a bit more to stay somewhere else.
