there are some real positives with this Hotel but unfortunately some negatives which i would not expect at this price range. The Hotel is perfectly located meters away from the water, with excellent views and ideal for all day sun. First impressions were very positive, the staff at reception are first rate as indeed were most of the staff throughout, one exception being a member of Bar staff who was quite curt in the way he reluctantly offered service unlike everyone else in the main bar who were friendly and courteous. We stayed in an El Club room on the first floor, pretty much what i expected for a top tier room, beautiful with two balconies one with sun beds and ideal for sunbathing, a reasonable mini bar excellent cleaning staff always efficient, ideal views, a bowl of fruit and a gift on arrival and the fruit was there throughout. Unfortunately that is where the value of El Club ends, The additional benefits are access to a roped off day bed area, first come first served however we never bothered, the location makes those using them somewhat of a display item right en-route for people leaving the rear of the Hotel to go for a swim nor were they particularly well laid out for the sun. The next Benefit if you could call it that was access to an “exclusive” area, reminiscent of a holding area located right out of the way of the main action within the extensive central area, surrounded by opaque glass which if meant to create both mystery and privacy merely serves to isolate those inside, you are told in the promotional material that in this exclusive area you have snacks and drinks a large part of the day. If this is someone’s idea of a joke then fair enough, we had days when either the spirits were not put out or the food which seemed to be the remnants of the cold meats and cheese from breakfast were all that was there all day, gradually fizzling down to one slice of ham and some very sad looking cheese sticks, very poor for how it is portrayed se photos, it gets worse after 6pm potato chips form the main offering however they are on a large platter with a set of serving tongues used for cold meats to help you put them into a bowl, save to say people resorted to using their fingers. For everyone who does not pay for exclusivity and of course for those who did you have a typical and decent offering of snacks by the pool at both the bar and near the restaurant, pool bar staff very nice people. Speaking of the main restaurant, apart from the staff, soup and breakfast what a disappointment. Never opened on time, items missing like the soup one night, on another occasion no labels telling you what things were and they were needed other times labels on wrong items, for some unknown reason the sweet selection diminished dramatically on the second week. I would say it is still worth a visit for the location, staff and weather this time of year but i would seriously look at your board basis, there are plenty of places close by to eat, we won’
