The reception staff were friendly and accommodating as always. Staff across the resort are very friendly. Spotlessly clean and well equipped apartment. Lovely heated pool with plenty of sun beds. Have been coming to this resort for 37 years and it never disappoints. Will definitely return. Thanks to all the staff.

Cleanest Hotel I’ve Stayed In

The property was exceptionally clean. A little dated but clearly high end furnishings. Large and comfortable. The air con worked well. The balcony was huge. Friendly service apart from the bar/restaurant but this is run by a third party. Shame because the rest of the hotel was excellent.

Family Time

8 nights stay. Stayed in a 1 bed apartment (B3). View was ok but definitely better views from there apartments. Good size for a 1 bed. Son on double sofa bed in living area. Good sized balcony although outdoor furniture wasn't great as it got extremely hot in the sun, especially the dining table. Not much room around pool area and you have to like the buzz of children in and around the pool. Beautiful garden area and bar area is well maintained. 2 pool tables and mini golf area. Overall a lovely place even if apartment was a little dated.

Très bien pour un petit sejour en bord de mer

Excellent endroit, a un jet de pierre de la plage. Les appartements sont bien équipés. Stationnement sur place très pratique. Belle plage. Appartement avec très belle vue sur la mer. Appartements propres à l'arrivée, par contre il y a plusieurs fourmis qui entraient dans la cuisine (2e etage). Le site est entretenu, malgré qu'il semble figé dans les années 2000.

Nice vacation

Great location on the beach front. Lots of choices of cafe, bars, restaurants. Safe area. Not crowded. Service was great. Nice people at the reception. But, the the resort is relatively outdated. Room was clean but the furniture was little old. In summary, we had great time.

Very close to nice public beach, beautiful sea view from porch, parking in front of porch, warm outside swimming pool in calm area (protected from winds), necessary kitchen, bathroom and cleaning amenities provided and very easy and friendly check-in. Our double bed had a light in the middle and there was only one small old TV that wasn't smart (no Netflix, Amazon etc.). WiFi is optical, but still slow - limited to 10-15 Mbps.

Hotel var som forventet

Hotel var som forventet. Ikke noget særligt, men fint nok til vores behov til denne tur. Dog var der ikke mulighed for morgenmad, og aftensmaden kan vi ikke anbefale. Til gengæld var der fint (ældre) køkken i lejligheden. Opvarmet pool og spa et kæmpe plus, da det var lidt køligt da vi var der.

Second Stay

Have stayed here before, so that should speak volumes! Have previously stayed in B apartments, this time we stayed in C. These apartments are smaller and don't have such a good outlook, also the terrace is a lot smaller. I assume they are older. Plenty of parking and convenient for the airport.
