great hotel

friendly welcomelarge balconynoise
we enjoyed our stay. the reception staff provided a lovely friendly welcome. they are very informative and nothing is too much trouble. i stayed in a one bedroomed apartment, third floor. the apartment included a large balcony, two sun beds, four chairs and a round table.
i found the evening entertainment to be a bit disruptive. the entertainment is outside and directly below the 1st-5th floor rooms. i had to shut all windows and doors to reduce the noise. getting an early night after exploring was difficult.

the apartment was well maintained i appreciated that the staff cleaned it daily fresh towels were provided each day the balcony was large i found it quite useful. the sports facilities were excellent i played tennis often and equipment rentals were convenient. the location was also great many restaurants were nearby within walking distance
i found it quite noisy due to proximity to busy roads soundproofing was lacking. the gym equipment needed some repair and upgrade i noticed some machines were out of order. i would say the food selection at dinner was repetitive i wished there was more variety

Fantastic Family Holiday

two bedroom bungalowhelpful staffsmiling stafftraffic noise
I just returned from a lovely week. I travelled with my family of six. We stayed in a two bedroom bungalow. It was perfect. The reception staff was very helpful and always smiling (i liked that!). Nothing was too much trouble for them.
The room faced a busy roundabout. Sleeping was difficult. There was too much traffic noise at night. I might consider staying in a bungalow next time.
