My stay at this hotel was quite pleasant, with spacious and clean rooms and a great pool area that had plenty of loungers available. The staff were friendly and accommodating. It was a bit frustrating that we were charged for towels without prior notice, and the dining experience could use some improvement, but overall, I found it to be good value for money given its central location.

I had a lovely stay at the hotel, which was conveniently located near the beach and plenty of bars. The rooms were spacious and very clean, with a nice sitting area and kitchen, though there was a bit of a sewer smell from the bathroom that was quite unpleasant. The staff, especially those at the pool bar, were incredibly friendly and helpful, making the experience even better. I just wish the dining options had been a bit more consistent because there were some delays in service.

The hotel had a spacious room equipped with a kitchen area, perfect for my family of four. The staff was exceptionally friendly and the entertainment team really made our stay enjoyable with a range of activities.

I had a decent experience at the hotel with spacious rooms and a great pool area. The staff was friendly but sometimes a bit too focused on their own humor rather than getting orders right.

I had a great stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious and spotlessly clean, and it was nice to see that they had new sun loungers delivered while we were there, which meant no need to reserve them. The food was plentiful, though it repeated often. The activities during the day were fun, but the dining experience wasn’t as diverse as I would’ve liked. Overall, it offered good value for money, especially with the convenient location near the beach.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. It’s located in a great spot, just a short walk from the main strip, which was perfect for our family. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, though the barking dogs nearby were a bit of a nuisance. The service was friendly and helpful, but I wasn't thrilled about leaving my credit card details as a deposit. The dining experience could also use improvement, especially in terms of temperature and variety. Overall, it's a decent place with a great location but could benefit from some enhancements.
