Provider-sourced guest reviews.
I liked both the indoor and outdoor pools, the life guard staff were all very helpful and friendly. The food was also really good.
I didn’t like that you had to pay extra for the bowling, when you pay quite a lot to stay you’d think that would be free. The arcade games also don’t last very long compared to other arcades, so is a bit of a money pit.
Good location, good breadth of activity for children.
Rooms require a bit of an update, when cleaning the room I’d have expected a bedding change not re-using old and a few items did not work. These were rectified after a day.
Everything SO much to do for the kids and adults!
Going home
Plenty to do for the whole family
No lifts and booked a family room with two small children and having a pram was a nightmare so many steps and stair to get around to the facilities and stated children's ages on booking and was not informed there would be no lifts. We also stayed 2 nights and 5 people only 2 towels left for us and room was not cleaned or topped up during our stay and not enough toilet paper but the facilities and entertainment was really good and the food .
Location of the hotel. Entertainment in the evening at the bar.
Lift out of service and we had the room on the 3rd floor. Everything in the bathroom old. Stairs carpet need to be change.
The facilities
Where it was situated
Breakfast average. Games room, indoor pool.
No modernization. Very Uncomfortable beds. Fans provided not helping with air circulation. Cramped bathrooms. Expensive parking.
I was extremely clean, cooperative staff, comfortable,environment was very good, everyone should visit the hotel and have the good experience.
staff not very pleasant, got some problems whit music
It’s old room . No ac room .that are provided small table fan . No good . Hot room inside .
Great facilities especially both pools
Very dated Rude receptionist
The pools outside and indoors.
No ac or fans in the heat it was like we was in a sauna Please make sure you take fans with you if you’re going in the summer. The apartments were clean but no windows opened.
Excellent location and facilities
Parking could be difficult
Location was good
Very dirty kitchen and dishes was shocking hair in the cupboards. I raised a complaint and it’s been nearly 2 weeks and no one has responded back even after making several phone calls. I had to buy new dishes pot and pans and a kettle as they are left in a shocking state/
The pool and games room and the options to access the other hotels an events
The parking was very poor, unless you are very lucky then you might find a space to park, the cordoned off a number of spaces for coaches. One of the single room had stained towels and bed. The locks on the door don’t work, so security is questionable.
Everything,staff were friendly and lovely,a relaxing setting
Nothing
Location
The apartment was in very poor condition. The shower did not have enough water pressure to shower properly, and there was a very bad smell. The flooring was in very poor condition and made a lot of noise when walking on it. The electrical outlets in the living room were exposed, which was very dangerous. My two-year-old child could easily trip or get hurt. I would not recommend this apartment for families with children, as there are many stairs and corridors, and there is no lift. I had booked the apartment for two days and the hotel for one night. The hotel was slightly better, but it was very hot and there was no fridge available to keep drinks cold.
Location was good. Excellent facilities. Lots on offer.
A bit tired in areas. Needed a bit of TLC.
Lots of socialising areas, great amenities with the adjoining hotel, swimming pool and entertainment
We had no WiFi connection at all!! In our room,
The room was clean and tidy. The swimming pools were great - my child loved them!
A tv that worked properly. The tv was approx 16” with 1 channel working - it was the night of the World Cup Semi Finals 😭. The indoor swimming pool changing rooms need to be cleaned a lot more regularly!
Position and overall complex. With hotels character and facilities.
Small bedroom and bed
The pools were freezing
Good location, good swimming pool and shops and bar near the pool.
Beds aren't in great condition.
The room was really bad. I did not expect too much for the price but it was beyond expectation. The bad was killing, bathroom, too.I think this room was not refurbished after the 2nd War.
Love the pools and location amd price
Beds are not very comfy
Excellent value for money, very good breakfast, lots of parking, central location, excellent spa and treatments, and very helpful staff.
Probably being a bit harsh here as we stayed when there were record high temperatures. The room we were in didn’t have air conditioning but did have a fan and we got an extra fan from the staff.
We enjoyed are stay
Breakfast was amazing but I really didn't enjoy the cleanliness in our room there was mould around the bathroom and swimming facilities were closed
Cheap price for family room Children's outside playground was good Good location
Indoor pool was closed day we arrived due to renovations issues with paint but it did reopen following morning and was ok although still quite a lot of scaffolding around pool Nappy was left in a bag in corridor stinking out corridor but reception staff did attend to it but had to ask them second time to do it but may have been because they couldn't find which corridor it was I found the mattresses a little uncomfy probably an old mattress Everything felt quite dated and needed some work doing to it
The location was great and the food was outstanding. Staff very friendly and helpful. Great entertainment.
The key card to my door it would never work it was taking 10 attempts to get into the room
Lovely big room ,perfect location, everything we needed was there ,and staff very helpful .
Nothing .everything was just perfect .
I liked the fact that there was 4 hotels all in one and there was plenty to do
I didn’t like driving around for a long time for a car space
Location
Breakfast wasn't great unfortunately. Mostly just warm, no idea what happened to the fried eggs, almost like the yolk was covered in plastic!
Had everything you could wish for and more
Bar close early for a weekend night and was a bit pushy to leave the arcade.
Lovely spacious family room. Only 2 adults. Amazing outdoor pool. Good entertainment. Booked room only ate at different restaurants . Bonus was brilliant weather.
Bit dated, but it's an old building. Have visited many times.
Swimming pool and the Spar. The entertainment
Too many children in the entertainment. Maybe a different venue for children at night
The amount of facilities is amazing Particular the swimming pool & the games room.
The rooms were so hot!!!! Uncomfortable hot so we did not sleep well at all. Tried to adjust heating but dis not work.
Lovely hotel but checking in lady did not explain where our apartment was properly, would have liked more clear directions.
The car park, we paid them for 4 days but could not find a spot anywhere on our 2nd day once we got back to the hotel. The lady on the desk was lovely and we had to park across the road and be given our ticket money back when I went with the ticket the next day. But it was very stressful looking on all the carparks which had been overbooked.
The room was really nice; the view was a perfect sea view. The breakfast was good, a bonus that the kids ate free. When we arrived, the receptionist said, "I never asked for rooms next to each other!" which I knew I did! We were, however, all on the same floor. The same receptionist that booked us in wasn't the friendliest, no smiles, etc. When I inquired about breakfast, she said I couldn't do it! But thankfully, there was an older receptionist/evening staff member on later in the evening who was absolutely amazing, very friendly, and very helpful. She booked us in for breakfast and took payment. She was having a laugh and a joke with us and really made us feel welcome. Would definitely stay again.
The limited parking at the hotel, especially when traveling with someone with mobility issues.
The space
Kids running up early in the morning and late at night
Pools were great, plenty of room in apartment.
Tired looking furniture, table leg falling off in dining area. Chairs need new covers as very tatty. Curtain pole too long and made it look scruffy. Need bigger cups for tea in kitchen.
Room clean and comfortable. Facilities good. Shower good. Didn't use the dining room or listen to the entertainment.
Staff on reception, seemed like they were bored and not welcoming. Parking could have been explained on the booking site as hardly any at the hotel. Would save time for the reception staff who were quite rude about it.
Lots of facilities for all the family. Rooms were clean and functional. Breakfast was excellent. For the money we paid, we couldn't fault the offer. .
Bit dated decor wise and communal toilets were disgusting on the weekend. Rooms were very warm and no fans
Location and room was a good size bed was comfortable
The bathroom was to hot with no window and little fan with made the room to hot
It’s massive and plenty to do
Nothing
Its location
Too many hotels sharing one small pool and only a few sun loungers. When I arrived I had nowhere to sit outside at all let alone near the outdoor pool.
Nothing
Terrible room , very hot, couldn’t not possibly sleep in there , breakfast is a joke
Good location, indoor and outdoor pool was good
Tape all around the window, room 328. Cleaners letting themselves into the room at 8am when children were sleeping. 1 pillow each. Room way too hot
All okay
Difficulty parking
Location, swimming pool, Entertainment in evening,
Lack of available parking, dated decoration in room, very tired rooms,
location. close to the beach
I didn't like everything there. Old, dirty carpets, peeling wallpaper, and a dirty table. On the first day, the restaurant ran out of food for dinner. On the second day, there was no hot water; we had to shower in cold water. Breakfast was very average, but the staff was friendly and helpful.Parking is, of course, paid if you book via booking.com Overall, the hotel was very old and neglected. I wouldn't recommend it.
Location
Was old dated , room keys kept getting wiped , had to go reception 3 times , room was so hot and smelt of weed , all of which were reported to reception many times
The Breakfast was excellent with a good variety of fresh and tasty option. Excellent location. Very convenient for travel and nearby attractions. The hotel's location was perfect, with easy access to shopping.
Everything was great. The overall experience.
Great staff comfy bed needs an update
A bit tatty in places
The facilities are amazing. The karaoke in Albert's bar was great, great atmosphere. Breakfast was really good and staff at breakfast were brilliant seated all 24 of us together in a couple of minutes which was well recieved. Swimming pool is great and games room is fab.
The rooms were so hot, uncomfortably hot which meant most of our party did not sleep well. The temperature dials were not working and radiators were full blast.
Pool large Receptionist helpful
Rooms dated Bathrooms awful Beds like rocks Heating on full in entire hotel, very hot Needed complete renovation Pool towels extra charge and pool closed early without warning
All
All
Great location - easy to get to other places and lovely sea view. Having a pool on site was a bonus.
The location; 2 minute walk to the Riveria centre , and 7 minute walk to the beach. Well Equipped and comfortable apartment.
Some of the Decor was dated.
Pool, games room for youngsters, food OK, , Aztec bar and outside area, room.
Parts looked tired. Some refurbishment needed. Carpets in places need replacing. Seemed understaffed at times.
Location and staff
All good
Great location, nice food and bar.
Slightly behind at breakfast service but still a nice breakfast.
Great entertainment, friendly staff and lots to do onsite. It feels like a good old fashioned English holiday
The bedrooms could probably do with being updated, but not too much to take away the character of the building
