7.6 Mykola Travelled with family September 2024
delicious variety of food, close to the beach,
very noisy there is no soundproofing in the rooms. hear the neighbors absolutely everything. there is a disco in the hotel, music is played all night until morning. it is impossible to rest at night. we didn't sleep for 7 nights. the hotel is completely aimed at young people. I do not recommend for families with children.

6.4 Lorena Travelled with couple June 2025 The rooms were not as bad as they were painted, no bedbugs or disco noises, but it is true that you could hear all the partygoers screaming at 5 in the morning.
Las habitaciones no eran como lo pintaban de mal, ni chinches ni sonidos de discoteca, pero es verdad que se oían a todos los que venían de fiesta gritando a las 5 de la mañana
I got food poisoning on the first day of my stay, I broke out in a rash all over my body and had diarrhea that has kept me in the bathroom for the two days of my stay. As soon as I arrived in Madrid, I had to go to the emergency room to get a prescription and some medication to reduce the rash all over my body. The dining room looks like a soup kitchen, with people from the street coming in to eat during peak hotel customer hours. I think it's good that they are given food, but it's not fair.
Me intoxiqué con la cena el primer día de estancia, me salió sarpullido por todo el cuerpo y una diarrea que no me ha dejado salir del baño en los dos días de estancia. según he llegado a Madrid he tenido que ir a urgencias a que me receten algo y me pusieran alguna medicación para bajar el sarpullido de todo el cuerpo. El comedor parece un comedor social, entra gente de la calle a comer en pleno horario de clientela de hotel. Me parece bien que se les de la comida, pero no se

7.1 Maria Carmen Travelled with  friends June 2025 It is a nice place near the beach and the station. The staff is friendly. The value for money is good.
Es un lugar agradable cerca de la playa y de la estación. El personal es amable. La relación calidad precio es buena.
We had an accident with a hammock and my friend got a cut on her foot that wouldn't stop bleeding. The hotel insurance didn't cover anything and we took a taxi to the nearest medical center to have the cut treated. We had to pay for all the taxi expenses and other pharmacy products ourselves. In that sense, very bad. They completely washed their hands of everything and apparently the same day there was another incident with another hammock and someone else also got hurt. In terms of health incidents, they are not up to standard. The manager fixed it by giving us two vouchers to have a drink at the bar. Like something out of a movie.
Tuvimos un percance con una hamaca y mi amiga se hizo un corte en un pie que no paraba de sangrar. El seguro del hotel no se hizo cargo de nada y como pudimos cogimos un taxi para ir al centro médico más cercano a que curasen el corte. Todos los gastos de taxi y demás productos de farmacia también corrieron a costa nuestra. En ese sentido muy mal. Se desentendieron totalmente de todo y al parecer el mismo dia hubo otro incidente con otra hamaca y alguien también sufrió daños. A nivel de incidencias sanitarias no están a la altura. El encargado lo arregló dándonos dos bonos para tomarnos algo en el bar. De película.

7.1 Gema Travelled with couple June 2025 The best thing is being able to be with our pet, the proximity to the beach. The reception staff is very good.
Lo mejor poder estar con nuestra mascota, la cercanía a la playa. El personal de recepción muy bien.
The picnic was very bad, very disappointing. It's not worth it at all.
El picnic muy mal, muy decepcionante. No vale para nada.

7.7 Carolina Travelled with couple June 2025 The variety of food at breakfast.
La variedad de comida en el desayuno.
There was no fridge in the room, the air conditioning at night was not working, and we were dying of heat... The pool hours could be extended a little more...
Que no haya nevera en la habitación, el aire por la noche no funcionaba y estábamos muriendonos de calor... El horario de la piscina se podría estirar un poco más...

7.7 Manuel Travelled with couple June 2025 Very quiet hotel, very good for being three stars. I had already visited the area before. Now it's obviously not high season.
Hotel muy tranquilo, muy favorable para ser tres estrellas. La zona ya la había visitado anteriormente. Ahora todavía no es temporada alta evidentemente.
To mention a but, I would go for the food, good but limited variety.
Por mencionar algún pero, me decantaría por la comida , buena pero poca variedad.

8.3 Queralt Travelled with family June 2025 The room, although small, we felt very comfortable in it. We loved the sea views. The food was very good, not much variety but good and "different" from what is usually found in hotels.
La habitación, aunque pequeñita, no sentimos muy bien en ella. Las vistas al mar nos encantaron. La comida muy bien, no mucha variedad pero buena y "diferente" a lo que se encuentra normalmente en los hoteles.
The air conditioning was a tad too subtle (set to the maximum) as the person sleeping closest to the balcony didn't feel it and got a bit hot. I would also like to mention that it would be good if the stays were for a real 24 hours, meaning if you check in at 14:00, you can check out at 14:00 (I understand it might be logistically challenging, but even by 12:00h would be something).
El aire acondicionado un pelín demasiado sutil (puesto al máximo) ya que al que dormía más cerca del balcón no lo notaba y pasó un poco de calor. También comentar que estaría bien que las estancias fueran de 24 horas reales, es decir, si se entra a las 14:00 poder salir a las 14:00 (entiendo que por logística es complicado pero a las 12:00 ya sería algo)

9.7 María Betzabeth Travelled with family May 2025 Everything has been great.
Todo ha sido genial.
For my part, there was a lack of variety in the food, I don't know if it was because of the date or because the dining room service is already like that.
Por mi parte faltó variedad en la comida, no sé si era por la fecha o por qué ya es así el servicio del comedor.
