Firstly, how anybody can be negative and leave poor feedback for this place is beyond me. It's £50 a night! it's cheaper than a Travelodge back home! Some people look for the cheapest accommodation and then expect the earth ... I booked here for a cheap last minute break with my 2 teenage daughters, first impressions were good, polite staff on front desk and quick check-in and within 10mins we were in our room. I'd requested a pool side room a few weeks prior so we could spend all day by the pool and the girls could go back and forth the room for drinks and snacks .... Room 166, ground floor, right next to the pool and the pool bar, perfect! The only reservation we had was a previous review saying the pool was so cold it was 'unusable' ... Don't listen to that, it's exactly the same as any other pool at any hotel, it's cold at first naturally but you warm up after a few minutes. Yes, the rooms are dated but again, what do you expect for £50-£60 a night, it's hardly a deal breaker. The hotel itself is superb, the location, the grounds, the atmosphere, the pool area, all just a lovely space. The pool bar is great, 3 euro a pint! Danny and his family are welcoming and integrate themselves with the customers, they even had a guy playing the guitar and getting everyone singing one day! Lots of space around the pool, no sunbed fights, every person I spoke to or heard talking was British which was nice also. The grounds are spotless, they are constantly jet washing and performing maintenance around the hotel, you can safely walk barefoot throughout the hotel it's that clean. I saw a previous comment about it being 'too far' a walk from the music square .... Its 10mins cutting diagonally through the streets and a taxi is £4 ♂️ these are the people that would complain if they were too close also! Hand on heart I'd say this is the best and most relaxing 3 star hotel we've stayed in and we'll definitely be coming back next year!
