We arrived at this hotel in September 2011. On arrival we were shown to our room. When we opened the door there was a really potent smell of sewage. The balcony overlooked a main road facing a brick wall and was situated over an open sewage pipe. We were unhappy with this room so the manager moved us to a room across the corridor which did not smell of sewage. However, I was really shocked that Thomson rated this hotel as a 3 star. It is more like a 1 star for the price of a 4 star hotel.
The main hotel building where the standard rooms are located was like staying in a prison - dark rooms, dark corridor and the cleaner walking up and down banging doors and jangling keys.
The room was really small, had dirty bed stained sheets, no hot water, dirty toilet seat where the dirt would not come off when I tried to clean it.
I could hardly open the balcony doors as a concrete bed base meant that we had to climb over the bed, open one door and squeeze out - I am a size 10 and I struggled. The balcony had big cracks down each side connecting to the main walls - looked unsafe. Bits of wood hanging from roof of balcony - danger!
The second day it rained and the swimming pool turned green so we were not sure that it was safe to swim in. All round the pool area were dead leaves which were there for days. We saw no one clean the pool in the time we stayed there.
We asked the manager about upgrading to a better room again but were told that one room was available for the following week however we could not book it as the manager would make more money through a late booking deal.
Breakfast was also horrible, cheap, greasy little packaged croissants, yoghurt lumpy and some food I couldn't identify what it was.
Hotel manager, breakfast and bar staff unfriendly.
We were completely ripped off by Thomson. We ended up deciding ourselves to move to another hotel. We just could not stay here. The other hotel we found was a 2 star and was really nice, clean, friendly and a relief!!!!
We had a great holiday once we moved hotels as the area is really nice.
See photos of hotel to make a judgement for yourself about this terrible hotel!
