Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Hotel was great, staff were all friendly & helpful, we were bed & breakfast and the breakfast was great, a big selection from cereals to cooked. We had a junior suite and it was huge for 2 of us, Aircon was brilliant and well needed. Pool area is very relaxed and a bit too relaxed for us as we are quite lively but we was ok with this as we expected it prior as it's mainly German clients reading books. But there's plenty to do in the area all within a 10 mins walk, the beaches locally are stunning with Soll Moll being our favourite and the restaurants along the stunning promenade and harbour are outstanding and very reasonably priced. All in all we would definitely recommend this hotel if you are looking for a quiet relaxed time with no screaming children running around. Facilities in the room were comfortable and cleaned daily. We personally probably wouldn't stop in this particular hotel again just due to how quiet it is but we would love to visit the resort again as it's such a beautiful area.

On our booking, we got a deal that was a welcome cocktail (didnt get this) a fruit basket (2 slices of about 3 fruits on a plate too big for the fridge that had gone sour) a bottle of wine (but the glasses were taken away the next day) and late check out (we were told we couldnt have this) so not a great start.
The breakfast has a lot of food but it seemed to be quantity rather than quality. As a vegan, I know I will have to compromise and I had bread and fruit each morning. there was a small tray of watermelon each morning but it seemed once that was gone, that was it for the day. The rest of the fruits were sliced up oranges, grapefruits, kiwi (the worst I've ever tasted) and tinned fruit salad in bowls. I knew it would be limiting for me as I also dont want to eat salad leaves and raw onion for breakfast so thats one less thing for me but my partner has no restrictions and loves all foods. He was less than impressed with what was on offer. We ate it as it was included but would have rather have gone anywhere else.
The hotel has loads of restaurants around by the waterfront and I would recommend the craft beer sneaky secret bar just round the corner as it was fab! (take bug spray though, we were bitten to heck)
Sunloungers are uncomfortable and noisy and very limited supply. A lot of people ended up sitting on chairs around the pool (the pool itself was very nice)
The room was a nice size, the aircon is silent but deadly! At its lowest setting its was very cold and the room had no duvet or thicker blanket, just the very thin one on the bed so it was either be cold or sweat at night. If you are cold at night, you cant hug your partner as it is 2 single beds pushed together and if you go near the middle, the beds slide apart. We did actually ask the hotel to fix the beds together as we had 2 nights of falling down the middle but even then, you get wedged in between the single mattresses which was obviously very uncomfortable!
This area is very German-holiday-maker heavy so if you dont speak German or Spanish, you might struggle in some places but the hotel Reception staff spoke English and were very helpful. Bar staff only seemed to speak German and Spanish so luckily we got by on our Spanish we knew (with the odd help of Google Translate)
The gym was small but a nice addition.
All in all, this hotel is an hr away from the airport and at over 115 euros each way in a taxi, it simply wasnt worth it. It was ok and we had a nice time because we enjoy each others company but I am very glad I wasnt all inclusive.

We (two friends) stayed for 5 nights at this hotel, we enjoyed our stay but there are many aspects to improve.
PROS: large room (junior suite), very clean and the lovely maids (Carmen closed the curtains for us so that the heat wouldn't come in, a 10🤗). The pool and spa are adequate and not overcrowded. The snack bar prices are very correct, good and abundant options, friendly and smiling waitresses. Good location, a few meters from the promenade and very good buffet quality with adequate variety.
CONS: 3/5 days of our stay the elevator did not work and on 2 of them they did not even put up a sign. The reception staff seems somewhat lost and distracted, not very professional… There is no music or entertainment during the day, and at night only 3 days a week, not very suitable for being a single adult. Super thin and uncomfortable pillows.
In terms of quality and price for the July/August dates it is acceptable but it should implement improvements to be considered a good 4*.

We had booked a standard room without a balcony for 10 days, but the room is terrible...old-fashioned cheap material...the elevator is tiled with broken tiles and the carpet in the hallway was dirty. When you open the window you are almost standing in front of bars on the balcony. from the neighbors.. breakfast was fine, dinner poor.. hotel did not come up with a solution for our dissatisfaction so we were forced to book another hotel.. which cost us a lot of money... many complaining guests so definitely not worth 4 stars, rather 2 stars ... so a tip: DO NOT BOOK if you want a carefree holiday

First of all, I will say that I am not a person who deliberately looks for negative features of a hotel, I rather focus on the positives and good time with my loved ones. Unfortunately, this hotel disappointed us in many respects. At the very beginning, there was a huge problem with accommodation, we had to wait 4 hours after arrival for a room (I understand, this is the hotel's policy), but we couldn't even use the shower by the pool or drink coffee from the buffet. Other disadvantages are: Further disadvantages are: -absolute lack of WiFi in the rooms or corridor - too few sun loungers by the pool -the entire chill zone is charged extra, not only the Basque beds mentioned in the description (we were literally kicked out of this zone :)) -drinks were mostly made from an automatic machine and were of really poor quality - basically no one from the staff speaks English, it is difficult to communicate because everyone speaks Spanish or sometimes German - as for the room, water is pouring from the shower and during our stay the air conditioning broke down twice for several hours - the worst meal was definitely the dinners/lunches - small selection and poor quality food, dinners were ok -the hotel staff were clearly focused on German tourists, they were served immediately, there was a visible difference in the treatment of other nationalities -microscopic swimming pool -the entire hotel has a lot of imperfections, it shows years of use, and the renovation has not changed much -the bar closes just before 11 p.m., the music is turned off and there is no option to order a drink a few minutes later On the plus side: +silence in the hotel +selection of dishes for dinner (including vegetarian options)

Hotel well located and the staff is very available and friendly The rooms without a balcony are not at all practical. We cannot dry anything and nothing is provided for that. The swimming pool is tiny, the gym is also The rooms are not made before 1 p.m. this is not at all practical The rooms are very clean but the common areas are not cleaned, the spa pool is not maintained The edges of the indoor pool are dirty This hotel does not deserve 4 stars but only 3 Fortunately the staff and breakfast are excellent.

Clean hotel with very friendly and attentive staff, whether at reception, service or housekeeping. Everything is well maintained both inside and out. Location 10 minutes walk from the city center so quite quiet and 20 minutes from Cala Agulla. For everything else you need a car. Comfortable and spacious room but without balcony so impossible to dry towels and swimsuits, plus it overlooked the street so quite noisy. Varied breakfast and decent products for the price. The majority of hotel guests are between 18 and 22 years old, so it's a very noisy party crowd when they return from the evening. The swimming pool is clean, quite small but it is not very busy so deckchairs are available and there are few bathers. The gym is very small with 5 cardio machines and a weight bench with dumbbells, it is 28° despite the air conditioning which is unpleasant, it is very busy in the morning. Overall this hotel has good value for money.

Chill out room was really nice, its big enough, jaccuzi inside. It's adults only so our stayin was calm and quiet. Personel is super nice! I have to say, from reception to waiters. Everyone are helpful and make good impression 👍 one thing was bad is breakfast. Hotel should work on it. Quality if food was very bad, you can feel its cheap and seriously not not good. If they will fix it would be perfect. Anyway i recommend 👍

The stay at the hotel was very nice, we recommend it to friends. A large selection of food for breakfast and dinner. For dinner, squid, shrimp, steak - whatever your heart desires. Nice service. The only downside is the kindergarten opposite (you need to keep this in mind when booking to ask for a room facing the pool)

Hotel booked with last minute tour with flight included. Four of us stayed for four nights. The rooms had no balconies, but were clean. (When booking we chose the least expensive ones). Excellent and varied breakfast. The receptionists were courteous, helpful and friendly. Excellent value for money. About 700 meters from the center. Free parking in the area.
