We flew from Newcastle with Thomson and the flight was fine, Entertainment is fantastic if you upgrade and the crew were excellent. We were given forms to fill in which were in Spanish and this...

We went straight to reception and asked if we could move, they explained that they only had 1 other room vacant which was on the ground floor also, after looking at it, this had the same damp mouldy cellar...

The rooms were large and spacious and very clean, with a towel made into a different animal every day waiting for us when we returned to our room!... More

I was torn between the two and three buttons just there.... Torn because actually, no matter how you cut it, for the money this is a good deal. The hotel itself is alright - massive and not on the seafront - but the food is great and the rooms are very decent. The staff are mainly very friendly and professional.... More
