This is a lovely hotel in a very nice place. The only downside is the large number of steps to access the beach and boardwalk- it may not suit senior citizens, it was a bit of a struggle for my eighty year old father. We bought some really nice local wine, but the hotel would not let us drink it anywhere except our room, even when we offered to pay a corkage fee.

Lovely place and the beach club shared with the Riu Palace was nice. My gripes were that I’d booked on the strength of gym reviews - the gym is pretty poor in terms of equipment and had lots of machines out of order; I also think it is pretty shocking to charge for rental of the safe in the room.

Good service and facilities with great location
The hotel is in a great location, a short distance from El Duque Sur and only a 20 minute walk to La Caleta. It is spotlessly clean with very service and facilities. We stayed half board and whilst the breakfast offered a great choice and catered for all tastes, the buffet-style evening meal was very disappointing, as was the meal in the Spanish restaurant. If it was available, we would choose to stay bed and breakfast. All-in-all, a very good hotel that we have re-booked for next year.

Good enough
€250 euros for a 2 night bed breakfast and evening meal.
Breakfast was good enough, bed was comfy, dinner was satisfactory.
What more can you ask for.
Good price, clean, friendly, comfy bed, nice food.

Lovely pool area and good location. The check in took ages as they make you sit down whilst messing about with your passport and then ask you to come to the desk again later- a real faff after a long flight.

Needs a refurbish!
Hotel is dated, rooms are old, paint on walls is chipped. Lobby staff was quite dismissive at times. I would not stay at this hotel again as the area has other far better choices for similar price. Lobby staff were cold and unbothered...some might say rude.

A great hotel
Great surroundings and close to the beach. Good food quality and selection. Would recommend to stay here. The waiting staff were overall ok, quite curt and one lady was quite rude. But aside from this small incident, it’s a really nice hotel.

Fair
Pretty good.
Cons: No tea/coffee facilities in room - bring own kettle. No food served in either pool bar. Bathroom towels v thin (pool towels fab - we used those). Rooms a bit small and tired (but bathrooms modern and nice).
Pros: Nice, helpful staff. Food and choices good. Nice location - short walk to La Caleta and El Duque.

7 night stay October 2021
Hotel very good and staff courteous and helpful. Choice of food excellent. Drinks expensive. Bedroom could have done with a tea/coffee machine. Don't belive the Hotels. com website when they tell you that you have a part sea view, what I had was a road view. The 68 steps to get to the beach was tough going after a few days especially getting back up. Poolside beds were being booked from 7am despite the hotel being adults only.
