Hotel has good location and pleasant staff, price is a bit higher than I would expect from overall experience. Now, in details:
Good:
- location: 45 mins from airport, first line of beach, second line from Main Street (this is rather good than bad - no too loud from the street), aqua park, aquarium and science factory + tropicarium are only a few minutes driving
- personnel. All are pleasant and nice, most speak English.
- pool (big enough)
- price
Bad:
- rooms need renovation, looks like 15-20 years old now (based on hair dryer yellowish color).
- worst sound isolation I ever seen: the wall is so thin that flushing toilet almost runs behind your head (bed is on the same wall as next room’s restroom). I’m not even mentioning voices from next room.
- car parking is too limited, no reservation, you leave car keys on the reception so the guys can move your car to free out the car in front of you (2 cars per slot).
- there are hotel’s chairs and umbrellas on the beach, but they are too far from the water (like 7th-8th row from the beach)
- more of it, the beach beds/umbrellas are paid (20€/day)
- even pool beds are paid (7€/day)
- breakfast is ok, but no variations, every day the same menu
- no lunch/dinner options in the hotel. It’s probably not that big problem having so many restaurants nearby, but some evenings they are so crowded that hotel’s restaurant option would be good.
Summary: definitely not the 4* hotel.
