Arrived with another couple to be told we had to share a cabin for the first night as theyre had been an overbooking earlier that day. A little inconvenient but we were refunded 1 room cost for 1 night.
The rooms are extremely basic, with nothin more than a bed, wardrobe & bathroom. The shower in the first room was horrendous & would not stay still in holder so you had to chase it around to get wet but the beds were comfy. We we're then moved to our own room which was a family cabin also so had a spare bedroom for cases etc otherwise even with just 2 people it could have got cramped. Again the beds were comfy, but there was an odd drainage smell & the only mirror was in the bathroom & once a hairdryer was plugged in the lights went out until it was unplugged again. We also had to share the room with ants :-(
Apart from being woken by binmen early mornings & kept awake by barking dogs the rooms were adequate enough even with there quirks/faults.
Breakfast is indeed basic & my husband lived off ham rolls & I simply toast. There is no fruit on offer. The evening meal again was basic although the salad selection was tasty it was the same every night with a choice of a meat of fish with some sort of potato. One evening the meat choice was a beef burger?!?! But it was all edible. It cost an extra €10 per person for dinner which is along the same price as other higher rated hotels & you could get a main meal alone on the front for a similar cost & probably enjoy it more. It's never a 3 course meal as unless you get in at 7pm sharp puddings are gone & I guess you would class the salad as a starter? I would have preferred to have gone room only & eaten out as good food makes a holiday.
The staff however were lovely and always pleasant often remembering your specific drink choices etc so they can not be faulted.
All in all this was a back up plan choice as we had originally booked elsewhere but tour guides had double booked us two couples. It certainly wasn't our first choice but we saved £150 by downgrading to soller gardens so there were plus points
The area itself id lovely and we hired a car to see more of the island and I would recommend it for a cheapish holiday but any longer than a week would be too much.
