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.

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.

7.1 Gerard Travelled with family May 2025 It is very close to the beach. The pool is ideal for children. The room and the hotel in general, quite clean. Friendly staff.
Està muy cerca de la playa. La piscina es ideal para niños. La habitación y el hotel en general, bastante limpio. Personal amable.
The room was not soundproofed and you could hear all the noise from the nightclub right next to the hotel. The first night I woke up at 5 am because of the noise. The quality and variety of the buffet food was poor.
Habitación no insonorizada y se oía todo el ruido de la discoteca que hay justo al pie del hotel. La primera noche me desperté a las 5 h del follón que había. La calidad y variedad de la comida del buffet era justita.
