Excellent stay at this adults-only retreat

ideal locationfriendly staffcheerful stafflacking quality bathroom towels

The location on the beach proved ideal and the town center remained within walking distance. I appreciated that this is an adults-only hotel. The staff was consistently friendly. They were helpful and cheerful throughout my stay.

I found the bathroom towels to be somewhat lacking in quality. Replacements would improve the overall experience. They were thin and small. This did not significantly affect my overall stay, though. Better towels would elevate the experience.

The hotel features both indoor and outdoor swimming pools. I noticed an abundance of sun loungers available. This provided ample space for relaxation. I observed good variety of bars and restaurants close by.

Dining

There is plenty of choice at the restaurant for both breakfast and dinner. I always found something nice and of good quality. The hotel has two restaurants. One offers buffet-style meals. The other is a spanish-themed restaurant.

Rooms

The room offered beautiful views of the sea. It overlooked the nearby town. It was a lovely aspect. The room was serviced every day and kept spotlessly clean. The room included tea making facilities and a fridge.

The hotel's location is perfect with direct access to the beach. The promenade into town allows an easy, 10-minute stroll to the Balcon de europa. Lots of bars and restaurants are close by. This made exploring convenient.
