Short half board break with family (adults). A warm welcome on arrival, just after dining room closed (our shuttle was late); we weren’t given anything to eat or drink even though we paid for dinner in 1st night so that was disappointing. Room was spacious with nice pillows & a modern spacious bathroom with ample toiletries. Frontal sea view room well worth it. Could hear the sea & the odd bit of traffic but overall nice & quiet. I think a kettle should be standard in the rooms (they are only in xtra rooms). Bacon was too fatty for my taste but breakfast was generally really good with plenty of choice. Cava is included with breakfast which was very popular if a bit unusual! Dinner also a good choice with the grill being popular. Not enough selection of veg for me but salad bar is plentiful. Drinks are not expensive & you can pay as you go it charge to the room. The bar is cosy with some reasonable entertainment. Ballroom dancing is popular. The pool bar serves some nice food, in particular the burger was fantastic. The outdoor pool is NOT heated but there are lots of sun loungers, lifeguard, pool towels & plenty of seating. The spa is brilliant at 18e for 90 minutes & IS heated. We didn’t have a treatment but used the sauna, steam room, jacuzzi & pool. The water keys were great on a problem shoulder. It’s clean with towels, flip flops, water & cap provided. You do have to book at the spa reception, we booked the day before. The hotel is on a good position opposite the sea & a short walk to shops & bars - the cafe Paris is lovely. There is a supermarket & shopping centre over the road, much cheaper than the mini market! We went to the botanical gardens which is with a visit a 3e - it’s up a steep hill but it’s a nice area with lots of eateries if you feel like making an afternoon of it. We didn’t go to the lido but it looked lovely. I’m not sure about hm going in the height of summer as it was busy when we went but not over crowded. I don’t know what some people expect really, perhaps they are trying to get money back but for me there was very little to moan about. I would suggest to the hotel to consider kettles in rooms & ensure there is something (cold buffet or sandwiches) for late arrivals. The hotel itself is well finished & clean, the staff are very friendly & helpful & speak English well. I would return in a heartbeat, we had a wonderful time.
