Great hotel for 50+, location is good. Staff helpful. We came here after we couldn't sleep in the hotel we booked, I have an illness and I couldn't walk about much so wanted to be near the marina. The bed was sooo nice. The pillows were sooo soft. Just to get a good night sleep was invaluable. Breakfast was perfect, so much choice and had cherries my fav. Lots of loungers. No sunbed wars. Two small pools, one plunge/shallow swim. We booked a second night as we love it here. We will return

The entrance and lobby at this hotel are simply gorgeous, a real attention to detail makes this a welcoming environment. The rooms are spacious and clean, and although the balconies are small, they do provide a lovely view. The solarium area and sunbathing spaces are ample and both pools were refreshing. The pool bar has lots of options and a nice food menu. Overall, having stayed in 5 or 6 hotels in the vicinity, Hotel Alay has proved to be my favourite and actually great value for money too.

It was in a great location. Close to tons of bars and restaurants. Close to the beach and marina. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Rueben at the front desk was extremely polite and helpful. The bartender and servers were all professional. Pool areas were clean but we noticed the out side and surrounding walkways needed to have a good clean.

The hotel looks to have had a recent refurb in some of the rooms but unfortunately we had a more dated room (not an issue for us) still very clean and had everything we needed. Also blessed with the most beautiful sea view. Staff were lovely, great service, throughly enjoyed our stay here.

Great place!

Had a great time. Although we were only there 1 night. We were able to check in early and given access to our room! The man on reception was lovely and welcoming! hotel was spotless and all staff were friendly. Cant fault anything. Check out was 12 but were able to book a time slot for a room to have a shower which included towels and toiletries free of charge which was fabulous as we had a late evening flight! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

Clean modern hotel. Great location. Refreshing to stay in a hotel where sun beds were readily available whatever the time of day! Only slight problem was lack of storage space in the rooms. There were no drawers and limited shelf space. Friendly staff, good food and a pleasant snack bar. The nightly discos were held outside and were great fun. We would not hesitate to return.

Fantastic location near beach and marina complex. Yes, room decor was dated but everything was clean and the shower was powerful despite its looks. Great breakfast selection. I was worried about it being a dog friendly hotel as am not a fan of dogs but only saw one during our stay and it was leashed and quiet.

The room I stayed in was a bit tired, with paint missing on the bottom of the door. The air conditioning also was very poor and luckily, as it wasn't that warm outside, it made more sense to have the balcony doors open to make the room cool, rather than having the A/C on. Apart from that, the room was comfy enough, with a fridge and plenty of cupboard space and a safe. There was no kettle on the room but I asked for one from reception and got one brought by the comfort team, The balcony was big enough, but looked over the road outside the hotel, although you could see the sea from it. There are plenty of sun loungers at the different pools, but the pool bar wasn't open as not really warm enough a lot of the time to sit outside. Breakfast was very nice, with good choice and topped up often even though very busy most times. Didn't have the evening meal but some of my friends had it on one of the nights and said it was very good value.

In the restaurant at breakfast and evenings we experience great attention to detail from a man called William. He is top of his game and is a great advocate for the hotel. I would promote him if an opportunity comes his way. Loved the way he engaged with us about his travels and how much he enjoyed his work.

Had a room to start off with straight on to the street at the front of the hotel, noise was awful couldn’t sleep. Asked for higher room told would have to pay. Was more than happy to for the sea view. Instead offered room 460 overlooking hotel entrance. Gotta say beautiful quite, huge room, nice and quite and chilled. Great rest! Will defo ask for this room again if I stay. Good recharge for a week and chilled time.

Great location but needs work

We stayed for 11 nights for a relaxing holiday. The hotel was comfy and the reception staff very friendly. The bedrooms were modern however had little storage which made hanging up clothes difficult when staying for longer than 5 nights. The bathroom and shower were ok however there was mould on the silicone and on both shower heads. I cleaned the shower with a towel however I believe this should be done by the hotel daily. The pools were good and there were enough beds over the 3 levels. The pools however also were mouldy and require attention. Hotel bar reasonable priced with a great selection of drinks
