The room has a strong chlorine smell that made it impossible for us to sleep due to the cleaning products. The bedding has stains, and the biggest issue was finding a parking spot; we spent over two hours searching with no available parking. Additionally, there was constant noise and disturbance from some disrespectful guests, with shouting at all hours, even in the middle of the night, and doors being slammed without regard for others. We were startled awake several times by these sounds. When it rained, the bathroom ceiling started leaking water. Honestly, this was the worst stay we’ve experienced, but the area around the hotel somewhat eased the disappointment.

The location of this property was perfect for sure. I wish the lower level bar and restaurant had been open as the elevator made it hard to get up there.

I checked in an out same day, didn’t even ask for refund as I guess it would be a waste
It was not a nice area and the property was weird and not felt safe
Definitely not a place for family

This is a youth hostel: if you want a hotel experience do not book here. There are hundreds of noisy young people here and the walls are thin, you will hear everything. The place is decidedly no frills (no hand soap in toilets, no towels for the pool, tv remote only by deposit). Many things appear to be broken or out of order, and the staff appear over-worked. Not a relaxing vacation experience.

Good breakfast buffet, the roof terrace was nice with a bar there. Day staff were lovely n check in. One of the night staff was very rude and unhelpful when my sister checked in late and it took 10 minutes to find the voucher. She’d arrived on a delayed late night flight and they could have checked our names and bookings but the woman was the opposite of helpful- scathing even. Felt
Lost unwelcome. Not keen on the area. Nice beach though.

Complains raised daily, no one ever helped.
In 10 days the room was not cleaned once, only beds were done. Bathroom was very dirty and sink never washed once
Extremely unhelpful stuff

Don’t let the pictures fool you! Hotel was full with young people - permanent noise - if the view is not sea side - is terrible ! 1 lift which takes a lifetime waiting for.
Upon arrival I have been given a terrible room, with the air conditioning beside the bed. When I tried to call the reception I notice the cable of the phone was cut..in the end I get a new nicer room. Telephone still not working..no minibar - in order to get a remote control for the tv you have to pay 10€ deposit..
Only positive note was the employees and the position nearby the beach . Never again here

Be careful before booking this hotel. We were a group of three and stayed in a studio room, which wasn’t too bad. The shower isn’t very good and there was some damage to walls in the room. We had an incident with the staff, where some of them were quite rude. I get the impression they don’t like tourists, which I kind of understand, however, this area of the hotel (and the hotel itself) gave me the impression of a party area/hotel? I’m not sure why you would work in the hotel or industry if you were not willing to put up with this, to a certain point at least. I overheard a cleaner say tourists ruin the place! We were fined €100 for going in the pool after it was closed. We accept we were wrong and knew this and so apologised. The staff at reception then proceeded to ask us to pay a €250 fine! We thought this was very unfair. The situation escalated where we found the staff started to be rude to us. After an hour, we then agreed to pay a fine of €100, as the police were threatened to be involved. We think a written warning would have been sufficient for our actions, as there was nowhere in the rules that said you get fined a large amount for breaking rules. We also had to pay the fine in cash - this seems strange and also how the fine was reduced… we think they make up the rules as they please. I will also say, that not all staff are like this, some were actually very polite. The area is mainly Dutch/German tourists, so if you’re not from here, this is something to know.

My stay for 6 days was slightly alarming. You had to pay to have a remote which I was not pleased with and pay for the safe.
The staff was lovely.
The room never had a fridge which was annoying.
The rooms were hard to find as the hotel is so big. More signage needed.
Overall I would say6/10
I accidentally came out on the wrong floor and scanned a room door the door open-end.
This was alarming it was the same place as the previous floor on the upper floor .
I would recommend this for people that are not planning to spend much time in the hotel.

This hotel lied about parking. Then, they lied and said that I was a no show. Now, they refuse a refund after they sent me to a sister hotel where I spent almost $300 per night to makw up for their lies. AVOID AT ALL COSTS! HOTELS.COM WILL NOT HELP YOU.

This property is very dirty. We had to switch rooms twice and then checked our an hour after checking in. The front staff was very kind and helpful, however, we are still trying to get our third night back for a refund as they only gave us two out of three even though it was so dirty we had to leave and book another hotel.

Roof top pool and lounge is very cool, good access to the beach, nice breakfast, room was ok but not great. There was only a sheet on the bed with no comforter and no refridgerator in the room or ice machine in the hotel. Staff was very friendly and informative, good stay overall.

Staff super friendly.
Doors shut extremely loud. Bathroom was not super clean - hair on the floor.
No fridge in room to cool i.e. water.
Mainly a hotel for people who want to party. For this it’s fine. But to relax not my first choice.

The hotel had a very confusing layout, but OK standard. However, the many corridors made all noise travel, so you were disturbed by late and noisy guests all night. So poor sleep for me, unfortunately. I get grumpy after several nights with poor sleep.

This Hotel seems to be old substance but renovated nicely. All in all, the hotel is value for money. The view on the sea-side is great. Pool is only half full due to static issues. Also, our room had an unpleasant smell from the bathroom.

Aircon didn’t work in our sea view room so had to change to another much smaller room, they refused to refund the difference. Both rooms needed a refurb or at least a good clean, bathroom tiny, shower flooded the bathroom, no balcony light, threadbare towels, i could go on……!

0.8 / 5.0
We’ll arrival and check in was smooth enough which was great as only booked the night before we stayed. Biggest issue and a major security one was our room was re let just 24 hours into our stay. Imagine I’m stood there in my pants with partner in the shower and the door clicks and two random blokes come in. After telling them where to go we went to reception and whilst very apologetic it should never have happened.
Location is great for the beach but wow is it seriously noisy it is. The location is 24/7 full of smashed off there face screaming men and women from mostly 🇩🇪 The view was great from our room especially as you can glance away from the stunning sea view to look down to the street below and witness an extremely drunken chap be hurled from a cab into the road, pick himself up stagger all over then come into the hotel.
Breakfast is good with plenty on offer , could do with more vegetarian options but so so much waste as people stack plates and leave for the bin. Not the titles fault but more the clientele. On breakfast issue is trying to get a table can be harder than finding a sober person in the area with the constant hunt for a cup for a hot drink. A few more staff should help this.
In summary it’s cheap and you get what you pay for, outside is very very noisy 24/7 and the area it’s totally catered for travellers from Germany.
If you want a local shop the use Ohana opposite the hotel, best value and a very polite family business

The service was brilliant!
The elevator was a little disappointing, once we got stuck in the elevator and for the rest of the time the other elevator was a slow one.

The food is perfect, location and service too, but accommodation is not. Regarding cleanliness safety and security, there are many things to do.

First night we had to stay in another complex as all rooms were taken. Staying beside 5 Germans who played loud music all night. The next day after we complained, they put us in the room that we had booked. All day staff were very friendly and the rooms were cleaned every night. Rooftop pool and bar were also good. For the price it was very decent.

Poor cleaning, 5 days 1x change bathroom towel, bathroom smells sewer, and the food (half board) not great in my opinion
1.0 / 5.0
I have never traveled to Spain and did not know that it was necessary to check into the hotel with my passport. The lady at the desk would not let us check in under my friends passport or my two other forms of identification even though the hotel was already paid for. We had to return to our point of origin (a 25 euro taxi ride [30 min] then a 30 min bus ride to the harbor) to get it, then do the same process to come back. THEN the hotel had my reservation incorrectly as checking out the 19th instead of the 18th - even arguing with me about my booking on hotels.com. I liked the hotel, but was unhappy with the service.
