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.

8.9 Eva Travelled with couple August 2025 It is the second time we go and we are delighted, the food, for being a three-star, is great, varied, and very good. The rooms are very good... the only thing missing is a small table on the balcony... otherwise great. And the best thing is how close it is to the beach.
Es la segunda vez que vamos y estamos encantados,la comida para ser un tres estrellas está genial variada y muy buena. Las habitaciones muy bien...lo único que se echa en falta es una mesita pequeña en el balcón..por lo demás genial. Y lo mejor lo cerca que está de la playa..
Tables on the balcony.

10 Angela Maria Martin Chacon August 2025 We have been here for a week, we had some doubts due to some comments we had read but I have to say that I recommend this hotel 100%, it is small but everything is very clean, it smelled great throughout the hotel, there were always people cleaning, the bathrooms very clean, the pool impeccable, the staff very friendly from the receptionist, cleaning, terrace service and the dining room. The food excellent, a small buffet but there was more than enough food and live cooking every day. The dishes were delicious and the presentation as well, the fact that water is included is a plus and we loved the terrace. We definitely recommend it and will return.
Hemos estado una semana, llevábamos dudas por algunos comentarios que habíamos leído pero tengo que decir que recomiendo este hotel 100%, es pequeño pero está todo muy limpio, olía genial por todo el hotel, siempre había gente limpiando, los baños muy limpios, la piscina impecable, el personal muy amable desde la chica de recepción, de limpieza, servicio de terraza y el comedor La comida excelente, un buffet pequeño pero había comida más que de sobra y cocina en vivo todos los días. Los platos riquísimos y la presentación también, que el agua esté incluida es un punto a favor y la terraza nos encantó. Desde luego lo recomendamos y volveremos.
It would be good if the rooms had a fridge, we were with children and having a fridge is great for keeping food that they are used to having daily at home and that you can't find in any hotel. But otherwise everything is very good.
Estaría bien que las habitaciones tuvieran nevera, nosotros íbamos con niños y te viene genial una nevera para conservar alimento que están acostumbrados a tomar a diario en casa y que no encuentras en ningún hotel. Pero por lo demás todo muy bien

5 KAIROS Travelled with couple August 2025 Proximity to the beach and the staff
Cercanía a la playa y el personal
Cheap price expensive bar example small water €2.20 Very small and limited buffet normal-low quality Many foreign guests, nothing wrong but they should communicate it. There was an incident with a Muslim matriarch and the police came. You can hear everything in the rooms, even the neighbor's fart, and until 6 am there's loud noise from nightclubs, if you're looking for tranquility, it's difficult here. Weak air conditioning, if it's hot you're going to sweat.
Precio bar caro ejemplo agua pequeña 2.20€ Buffet muy pequeño y limitado calidad normal-baja Mucho extranjeros de acojida,no pasa nada pero deberían comunicarlo.hubo un incidente con una matriarca musulmana y vino la policía. Habitaciones te enteras hasta del pedo del vecino y hasta las 6 ruido a tope de discotecas si buscas tranquilidad aquí es difícil. Aire acondicionado flojito si preta la calor vas a sudar.

8 Silvia Travelled with family August 2025 The vast majority of the hotel staff is lovely.
La gran mayoría del personal del hotel es encantador.
Having more umbrellas at the pool, I think wouldn't cost anything, also having a mini fridge in the room, lowering the volume of the pool music, it was annoying being so loud, and the air conditioners in the rooms are very noisy and don't cool anything, we had to buy a fan, we mentioned it and they said they would come by but they didn't.
Tener más sombrillas en la piscina, creo que no costaría nada, también tener neverita en la habitación, bajar el hilo musical de la piscina, resultaba molesto al estar tan alto y los aires acondicionados de las habitaciones tiene muchísimo ruido y no enfriaban nada, tuvimos que comprar un ventilador, lo dijimos y nos respondieron que se pasarían pero no lo hicieron
