I booked a harbour view room and a single occupancy room. I emailed the hotel ahead of time and asked if the single occupancy room could have some sort of view. We were not disappointed. Our harbour view was beautiful and my son had a side harbour view, which was really good. |The staff were all polite, helpful and friendly. The lady cleaning our room was particularly pleasant to us, always saying hello with a big smile. Reception were happy to help me with any questions I had about the resort, and sorted out an issue I had with my transfer. |The hotel was a very short walk from the restaurants, shops, beach, and boats that could be booked for different excursions. In my opinion a great location. |Breakfast was good, always plenty of choice, I liked sitting out on the terrace watching the boats go off on their trips. |The rooftop bar was very reasonably priced, also had a lovely view of the harbour, and was a lovely place to sit in a bit of shade. Service there was also friendly and efficient.|The bar in the evening was also nice. They had some of the cheapest cocktails that we found and the service was great. |Sadly, there were things with this hotel that justify my 3 star review.|The room: was dated and basic. Often the drawers would not close properly as they did not line up. The furniture was very cheap and flimsy. There were hardly any power points. This was all also true in the room we had for our last day as we could not keep our room on, but our flight was very late. We had to pay €50 for the room which I was happy to do. In this room the cupboard doors and drawers did not close properly as they did not line up. |The bath did not drain when we first arrived, and although we complained and the problem was sorted (no issues with that) the fix was obviously temporary as it was slow to drain again before we left.|The shower was TERRIBLE, seriously the worst shower I have EVER experienced on a holiday. We managed but it was not great.|There were 2 english channels on the tv, both news. Not a big issue for me but my husband likes the tv on when we are in the room. The picture was out of sync on the tv, and on the odd occasion there was a film in English, the heads of people were often cut off the screen. |The room was not sound proof. There was a lot of noise coming from the bars across the harbour at night and you could hear it, especially the base of the music, when trying to sleep. |None of these things would bother me much but this is not what I would expect from a hotel that is supposed to be 4 star. |The pool area was a nice spot to sunbathe, and it was never a problem getting 2 sunbeds together, as people seemed to come for a couple of hours and then leave throughout the day. However, the pool itself looked really quite shabby. It looked like there was plaster missing, or badly filled in, all around the side of the pool. |You have to pay 'tourist tax' and the price you pay is more depending on the hotel rating, which is possibly why they have pushed up to a 4 star. In my opinion, the rooms and pool area need to be much improved to justify the 4 star rating. |I will again say that I can not fault he people working in this hotel, but there are improvements to be had in the aesthetic
