The alay is a nice hotel but in some respects a little tired and some of its services could do with updating. The rooms are ok, although there's no tea/coffee service, no mini bar and the TV doesn't have a great choice of viewing. The air con is a bit flaky too. But the beds are comfortable and the bathrooms... more

Stayed at Hotel Alay June/July 2008 an a B&B basis. We were on the 7th floor and our balcony view was of the marina, beach and the med, so very good indeed. I dont think there is any need to do half board as there are so many restaurants. Rooms aint the hilton, but for the price and location we... more

Stayed at Alay Hotel many times, most recently May 2007 and have already booked for May 2008. Great location, close to Beach, Marina and all facilities the resort are has to offer. We usually stay on a B&B basis and found the Breakfast very good, with plenty of choices. The staff are very professional and helpful. Rooms and Bathrooms very... more

Have just got back from lovely weekend away - two ladies enjoying time away from children! I must admit - we were a little wary reading some of the reviews, but we were both very pleasantly surprised. Ok, the Hotel may look a little tired from the outside (but no more than any other hotel along the promenade), but the... more

This is a review by 2 adults (kids left at home) aged late 30’s who stayed at the hotel for 5 nights and like to enjoy themselves. This is a very nice clean hotel in a perfect location for the marina, bars and restaurants. We were half board which, considering the location was a mistake. B & B would have... more

Absolutely great location, just behind the marina, thought the hotel was great, we just did b&b, and you couldn't fault the breakfasts, loads of choices, and always being topped up! Can't comment about evening meals, as we always went out for dinner, there is that many restaurants around, i think your better off just doing b&b. The hotel is in... more

This was listed as a 4 star hotel in English brochures. In fact it was at most a 3 start hotel. The lobby looked nice but 1, Our room smelt of drains 2. The carpet in the room was so dirty it made my feet black when I walked on it 3, There was litter on the floor of the... more

Stayed in Hotel Alay for a week in September. Hotel staff friendly, hotel kept very clean, rooms spotless & cleaned every day even if you are late up like we were. Never made breakfast so can't comment on food. Pool area clean & always sun beds available but so many flies which were very annoying. Really liked the location as... more

Have just spent a 8 day break at this hotel and as previously mentioned this is not a 4 star, but neither are the prices. If you had noisy air conditioning or a view of people urinating then have a room change, and the moans about the noise, you are in a tourist resort, of course there is noise, people... more

Four of us just got back from a 5 night break in the Alay. My main point to make is that the Alay is in no way worthy of a 4 star rating. It doest have its good points however in that it has a cracking position, and that it is a little cheaper than most of its competitors in... more
