Overall the property was pretty poor. The staff were nice enough however facilities were much lacking. The room was spacey but one of the rooms had no fan or air conditioning and so was too hot to sleep in. The location was not very accessible located at the top of a large hill and so getting luggage up was difficult. The hotel was noisy and one of the rooms was located with the window facing inwards towards a wall.

The staff was very helpful and kind. The area was more "touristy" than expected. The hotel itself was outdated aside from the restaurants and lobby area. The room did not have ac so it was hot and musty. The bathroom was extremely outdated and did not seem very clean

Tired rooms
The hotel is a good cheap option with some pros and cons. Pros - the outdoor pool area is nice and if interested in entertainment they have varying acts throughout the week. The breakfast is also really good with a wide variety of food on offer on the buffet. Cons - a couple of times I spoke to the reception staff they were not very warm, barely looked at me or greeted me. Not all of them but a couple of them I felt like I was bothering them. The room I stayed in was tired with terrible sound proofing, people in the corridor sounded like they were in my room. I also had a towel in my room that was covered in fluff which when I picked it up and gave it a shake, so much fell off onto the floor mat it was very weird and I couldn’t believe a housekeeper put that towel in my bathroom for me to use.

The public areas are modern and well maintained. Swimming pool area and terrace were lovely. Breakfast buffet was well stocked and co sat toy being refreshed. Staff friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the bedrooms and the corridors let the hotel down and need refurbishment and modernisation asap.

Not a very good start when we arrived at the hotel. Queued up with other arriving guests with bags and luggage in tow. Got to the check in desk and the receptionist asked if we flew EasyJet which we had, gave us a key and a card with check out information for the next day. Said they hadn’t been paid and need to send boarding passes to their email address. Tried to explain we were booked for over a week but she was very abrupt and uncooperative and we went to this room which was terrible and definitely not the room we had booked. Met the general manager by coincidence and explained the situation but he was as confused as us. Went out for the afternoon and came back and spoke to the reception manager who explained she had mistaken us for people who work at the airport - clearly. Didn’t check names on ID to the booking system but we were given the room we had booked that evening. Reception manager was furthermore very helpful. That aside, car parking was a challenge on the first day. We asked about the car park but receptionist wasn’t helpful and as a result we failed to prebook and had to park the car a 10 minute walk away. Breakfast always busy, never had bacon and sausage at the same time and sausages are mini hot dogs. Bread rolls stale after a few mornings. Good choice of fruit, yoghurt, cereal and pastries. Breakfast staff friendly. We enjoyed drinks by the pool bar some evenings. Rooms are in need of maintenance and could do with updating.
