overall positive: a chill very LGBT friendly hotel, 20min walk from town. we stayed for about 12 days.||the pool area has often all the beds taken but is otherwise nice and very chill, we loved it. the beds are not taken at 6am and there’s an additional sun bed area next to main pool area. so overall good chances of getting a spot if you come around breakfast or wait a while. ||staff is mostly friendly but occasionally can be a bit short or disinterested. in the bar many of them seem confused about what to do, what’s on the menu etc - as if it’s their first day every day. so getting a drink from the bar is exceedingly slow, perhaps just a chill culture but can be frustrating. ||breakfast buffet is ok, nothing to write home about but does the job. it’s identical every day though. the price if buying from the spot is 14-17 euros, which is too much IMO, but if included in room price it’s worth it. especially as no nearby options - it’s a residential area. breakfast is 8-10:30. the restaurant (la Pergola) has google review of 4.1 but not sure why, the food at dinner was so-so, i’d rate it 3. ||guests were on average maybe 50 years old, ranging from around 30 to 70. ||we booked a “twin or standard” room on an online booking site and were offered an upgrade room on arrival for 15e/night. i declined it but once we were taken to our room which was semi-underground, dark and smelled like cellar i went back to inquire about the upgrade room. i was shown 2 (pool view 25e & front of hotel view 20e) but for higher price per night. i asked about the 15e/night offer and the receptionist clearly got irritated but asked the manager then and we got the latter room for the offered price. next day our friends arrived and they were also given the same talk about upgrade and they just accepted it due to my advice. it felt a bit like the cellar room (while technically identical to others) is used as a way to charge extra - in the online photos the upgrade room is exactly what i was booking so felt cheeky to have to pay extra to get it. our friends also heard other guests checking in getting the upgrade talk. ||wifi internet was steady and good throughout. ||beds were pretty hard but comfy, huge pillows. we slept well but that’s partly due to earplugs. as another review warned, front on hotel side gets to hear a neighbours bird throughout the night, which is not great, but with earplugs manageable. with curtains the room is dim but not dark in the morning, might be hard for those who wake up to light.||there are 2 women’s toilets by the pool/restaurant and throughout our stay (9 days) the other one was “out of order” and the other one mostly out of paper. ||overall a very quiet, relaxing hotel. we extended our stay even from 7 days to 12.
