4.7 Patricia July 2025 The service of this hotel needs to improve a lot on a professional level. It is not normal that being a 4-star hotel, room cleaning is done every other day. At least changing towels should be considered. I was given the room at 6 pm after arriving at 4:30 pm and check-in starting at 3 pm. The reception staff's attention is somewhat improvable, as soon as we arrived the receptionist was helping us with food in his mouth and a plate of food on the counter.
El servicio de este hotel tiene que mejorar mucho a nivel profesional. No es normal que siendo un hotel 4 estrellas la limpieza de las habitaciones sea un día sí y un día no. Al menos el cambio de toallas debería de contemplarse. Me dieron la habitacion a las 18 de la tarde habiendo llegado a las 16:30h y siendo el checking a partir de las 15h. La atención del personal de recepción algo mejorable, nada más llegar el chico de recepción atendiéndonos con comida en la boca y el plato de comida sobre el mostrador.

6 Elena Travelled with family July 2025 Hotel location. Spacious room and very comfortable beds. Very friendly cleaning staff.
Ubicación del hotel. Habitación amplia y camas muy cómodas. Personal de limpieza muy amable.
Very poorly organized staff, late check-in, very little variety in the meals but tasty, delay in supplying towels and cleaning rooms, long queues at the coffee machine because there is only one. It is not a 4-star hotel.
Personal muy mal organizado, check in tardío, muy poca variedad en las comidas pero rica, tardanza en el suministro de toallas y en la limpieza de habitaciones, largas colas en la máquina de café porque solo hay una. No es un 4 estrellas

1.7 Monica Travelled with  friends July 2025 The beach.
La playa.
Improve? Everything. It is a beach hotel, so they should clean the room and change the towels every day, not every two days, putting half of the towels with the excuse that the day before there was no laundry, replenish toilet paper that we had to go to the public because at the reception they only gave us a small and thin roll, the food was awful, scarce and bad, there is no staff, for dessert only watermelon and melon, the hotel has 3 stars too many, the clothesline is hanging, the pillows are horrible, the terrace furniture, not that it's old, it's old, sitting down we would get pieces of paint stuck to us, it was the worst experience of my life. I do not recommend it to anyone. Waiting all year for the holidays to come and what a bitterness.
Mejorar? Todo .Es un hotel de playa , por tanto deberían limpiar la habitación y cambiar las toallas todos los días , no cada dos días poniendo mitad de las toallas con la excusa que el día anterior no hubo lavandería , reponer papel higiénico que tuvimos que ir al público porque en recepción solo nos dieron un rollo pequeñito y delgadito,la comida fatal , poca y mala , personal no hay ,de postre solo sandía y melón , al hotel le sobra 3 estrellas, el tendedero descolgado , las almohadas horribles, el mobiliario de la terraza , no sea que es antiguo, es viejo ,a sentarnos se nos pegaba trozos de pintura , vamos la peor experiencia de mi vida.No lo recomiendo a nadie . esperando todo el año para que llegue las vacaciones y vaya amargura.

5.3 Sergio Travelled with family July 2025 The food is delicious but there is not much variety.
La comida rica pero poca variedad
They take a long time to check in, up to two hours to receive the room, and they are very bad at solving problems, taking almost 24 hours to change a remote control and unable to watch TV.
Tardan mucho en hacer el checkin asta dos horas para recibir la habitación y son muy malos resolviendo problemas casi 24 horas para cambiarnos un manda a distancia y sin poder ver la televisión.

7.3 Juan Carlos Travelled with couple July 2025 The price is without a doubt the best. The apartment is very nice.
El precio es sin duda lo mejor. El apartamento muy bien.
The buffet is not even close to being four stars. Little food and little variety. If you want to drink something, you have to leave the dining room and go to the bar.
El buffet no es, ni de lejos, de cuatro estrellas. Poca comida y poca variedad. Si quieres beber algo tienes que salir del comedor para ir al bar

2.7 . July 2025 The only thing worth mentioning is the kindness and attention of the little staff available.
lo unico a destacar es la amabilidad y atencion del poco personal que hay
It is not worth 4 stars by far, outdated and poorly maintained facilities, ants and insects, lack of air conditioning in several areas, lack of staff, very limited food options that are constantly repeated, very poorly prepared and low quality. If you add to all this (which in this case the accommodation is not to blame) that it is located at the top of a very steep hill that you have to constantly go up or down to leave or enter the hotel, it becomes an experience that leaves much to be desired.
no vale 4 estrellas ni de lejos, instalaciones anticuadas poco cuidadas, hormigas e insectos, ausencia de aire acondicionado en varias zonas, ausencia de personal, comida muy muy pocas opciones que a demas se repiten constantemente, muy poco elaboradas y de baja calidad si a todo esto le sumas ( que en este caso el alojamiento no tiene culpa) que esta ubicado en la cima de una cuesta muy muy pronunciada que tienes que subir o bajar constantemente para salir o entrar del hotel, se convierte en una experiencia que deja bastante que desear
