A nice slightly out of the main drag hotel, most staff really friendly and helpful. All inclusive options adequate. Good value option, although I would have my doubts during school holidays, unless of course you have children!! The free tram/ bus tickets with the AI option were an added bonus

Welcoming reception area. Lift very small. Room nice & clean, decent shower pressure. Stayed HB & both breakfast & evening meal were to a good standard. Would definitely visit again. Parking was a bit of a struggle but managed to find a space couple of streets away. Tram stop outside so very handy.

Enjoyable experience very hard working staff. Did wait 40 mins for breakfast to be served, staff worked non stop, can only think kitchen staff were very slow. Meals were good but breakfast could have been better. Entertainment good, apart from the show night very loud and unfortunately not good at all. They cleared most of the guests.

The hotel has a great sea front position. We had a large triple room with a large bathroom unfortunately very overlooked and not a good view. Free parking right outside the hotel if you are one of the lucky few to get one. Friday night main meal selection wasn't good , we had to settle for a salad which we didn't really want and had to purchase more food from the bar even though we were on " all inclusive" Breakfast was ok but lots of people left the sausage on the plate as did my partner so obviously not the best quality. Bed was comfy and tram stop opposite so easy to get around as it is quite a walk to get to the main shopping and entertainment area.

Beautiful outdoor pool area, nice and attentive staff. Can’t fault them at any stage from check in to meal times. Jacuzzi/indoor pool was nice and relaxing. Family suite booked, listing does state it is for up to four adults. Should probably be 2 adults and 2 children. Bunk beds provided are extremely uncomfortable and loud. Would suggest mattress toppers covers if possible. You can feel every bar on the bed frame through the mattress and a loud crunching metal sound when anybody moves. Whereas the double was lovely and comfortable and the two bathrooms a great bonus. Would suggest if more than two adults sharing one night would probably be the maximum stay.
