Just a little warning

Just a little warning to other guests and those considering booking here! Saturday was terrible, 20 children with parents invaded the pool. It was a children's birthday party all day with shouting and screaming. All the sunbeds were taken and there was no room for the hotel guests. Poor service from the managers, no help to get so we had to leave the area. The reception should have warned us so we could plan our day differently and they should have maybe reserved some sunbeds for the guests. No compensation, no offer of possible transport to the beach. When we left the hotel, we asked for an extra 1 hour late check-out, we couldn't do that despite the hotel being empty. We have been here 4 times before and this is probably the last time.

Avoid avoid avoid

This place is not anywhere how it looks on the pictures! It is run down, in need of serious refurbishment, food was terrible, seriously avoid this place. Musky bad smell in the room. Pictures included in the review show the rusty bbq and extremely run down rooms. Actually it was that bad that 10 minutes after getting into the room my family decided to check out.
Rusty bbq for your use!
Dirty and stained floors
Old, run down doors and windows
Room block building in serious need of improvement
