    Perfect, we’ll be back!
    A really first class hotel. Our room was ground floor sea view (24), direct access to the pool. The quality is high, staff really accommodating and friendly. Ate in the hotel 2 nights out of 7, wish we’d done more. The evening buffets were terrific and really good value, and the…

    Our first stay at his hotel and it is so good we are going back
    We only got home from a 3 week stay at this hotel on Monday and we have already booked for our next stay in September. Although the hotel was full there was plenty of space and it did not feel crowded. It is in a great location and we did not eat in of an evening as there are so…

    Lovely hotel, great location
    A well located hotel in old town. Staff are great. First night kept awake by neighbours nighttime ‘activities ‘ but managed to get a new room. Quite small and average age is about 70 but enjoyable three night stay.

    I have 2 questions about a half-board booking: (1) If we book a half-board package through a tour operator, including 31st December, what type of meal will we be served on New Year's Eve, and in which restaurant? (2) On other evenings, are guests permitted to have lunch instead of dinner as part of a half-board package? Thank you.
    Dear Guest, Thank you for your query. If you book a package with the meal of the 31st December included, you will attend our Gala Diner, in our Restaurant Arsenal, this diner is a Special set Menu, with drinks included. If on Half board you may change the meal for lunch, you just need to advise us that you will be swoping the diner for lunch on the that day. Please feel free to contact us directly if you need further assistance Yours Truly Carla

    "Worth paying for 'sea view,' as the 'garden' ones on the side just overlook an open green space on the edge of town."
    "Sea view with a balcony"
    "Avoid rooms that over look the "green" the homeless gather here and use the hotel wall for a "toilet","
    "A junior suite is worth the extra euros. We had bed and breakfast but you can be virtually self-catering ."
    "Balcony rooms are only good value if you use the balconies."
