I spent 9 nights over new years eve there, and the hotel was very nice overall. Everything is clean, all the staff is very friendly (and most of them speak english and sometimes other languages), and it's in general a quiet place. Even though the hotel itself is located in the middle of a very touristic area (and quite an ugly one, IMHO). Direct access to the beach is a nice feature, the massages in the spa were great, and the pool area is beautiful and well maintained (heated saltwater pool made swimming even in December a pleasure).
I had only minor issues, like not getting coffee after dinner in the hotel restaurant (you have to go down to the bar for that), or only a very limited choice of table served food (however, the buffet was rich and very good); or the "fitness center" which isn't really that agreeable (being underground, and with a very limited selection of machines, some of which being out of service etc.). I have to admit, though, that the bar / sofa lounge area is a very pleasing place, with nice live piano music at times; ideal for reading a book in the evening.
My room was very nice and comfortable, with a large balcony (2 chairs, 2 sunbeds, table and sunscreen), WiFi in the room worked good enough most times, and 24h room service was also flawless.
So in short, the hotel itself is very good, it's biggest weakness is the ugly place it's located in (not one palm tree at the beach, but a hundred shops, karaoke bars and a Mc Donalds... not exactly my idea of a nice beach, but you're view may be different). However, the hotel also offers free bikes to get around and check out the surroundings with, which is another nice touch.

Thank you very much for taking some time and writing a comment about your stay with us. We hope you have enjoyed your stay with us and are glad to read that you liked our hotel, staff and services in general.
It is true that we do not serve coffee after dinner in the restaurant and offer it in our bar. Many of our guests find it nice to change location after dinner. Unfortunately we cannot do anything about the area but in the end it is not too bad, as we offer our guests a calm hotel where they find a little oasis to relax, but at the same time, outside of the hotel, they can find shops, restaurants, bars, etc.
Nevertheless we hope that we as the hotel with our services and facilities could reach your expectations and hope to welcome you again in the future.
Kind regards.
The Management.
