Location|On a minor street near Jokers bar.||Four mins from promenade & beach with shops nearer. Lots of bars & clubs in close vicinity but far enough away not to cause a nuisance or noise.||Although you can get taxis from the hotel reception there is a taxi rank at the first junction if you turn right outside the hotel.||Reception & hotel|Efficient, polite, helpful & courteous.||Free WIFI throughout the hotel.||Security is a top priority. You need your room key to gain access to pool area, toilets and some of the lifts.||Room |Of adequate size with sufficient drawer & shelf space. Three lights in bedroom and good ceiling lights in bathroom. Good water pressure & plenty of hot water. Towels changed as required. TV with a few English channels including BBC1 & 2 but no ITV channels.||Free safe of a size to take an iPad.||Pool area|Pleanty of space and able to get sunbeds at any time. Pool towels available at reception at no charge.||Bar & Lounge|Bar serves the outside area as well from opening in wall.||There are waiters inside during the evening or you can go to the bar yourself.||Prices are very reasonable:|Bottle water €1.30|Bottle soft drink €2.20|Pint (Amstel) €3.50|Coffee €1.70||Entertainment every evening from 8:30pm.||Restaurant|Not a great deal of choice at dinner but sufficient and tasty. ||Breakfast has the usual choice of cereals, cold meats & full English. Fruit juices & drinks machines for which there were no queues.||I tried to get a white coffee from a machine. It comes out as half a cup of coffee solo, whichever machine you use. You have to fill the cup with hot milk to get a proper white coffee with resultant waste of milk.||Managed to get a table for each meal.||The restaurant staff are excellent - plates cleared extremely efficiently and tables reset quickly.||Car Park|Under the hotel with a daily charge.||There are 155 places. For some reason the hotel gave me space 76 which was the lower of the two car park levels with access down a steep ramp and bend. Space 76 is the furthest from the hotel entry point. I have no idea why I was given this parking spot when there was not a single other car on the lower level and only 3 on the upper level. My recommendation would be to ask for a space on the upper level if you are driving.||Overall|Well managed hotel, staff helpful & courteous, easy to get sunbeds, reasonably priced drinks and in a good location.
