Price/performance ratio is right over here. Breakfast was rather monotonous, but filling. Clean and functional rooms. For those who need it-super beach location. In the evening or a bit noisy at night. From time to time aircraft noise. Read more

We had a very nice week, our expectations were exceeded. The price-Leistu penetration ratio was very good, we were greeted by friendly and efficient and transfer problems were solved immediately in-house. We will definitely go back Read more

The location is perfect, but the hotel only offered all inclusive and that is not recommended, unless you like chips, they are edible.
The staff is grim and rude. The cleanliness left a lot to be desired! wouldn't book this hotel again ☹

As already mentioned in the title, led the hotel and especially the rooms to be a long travel and really not more than to sleep to get back to your room. The cleanliness was the biggest problem for me. In the room were still waiting, and the blanket was a drained insect... not very welcoming. The shower I would describe as a 'health check' , since they automatically, no matter what setting, every two seconds from freezing quality switches.
The only positive thing about the hotel is its location and the friendliness of the staff, and I look f... Read more

Hotel in general

30 sharp each evening At 1030 am a member of staff walked round the pool area with a laundry basket to collect any towels on unoccupied beds The hotel is barely four stars but is quite comfortable all the staff were most helpful and friendly The daytime entertainment is a bit naff but there is no compulsion to participate and is not intrusive - each day about trhe same 20 to 30 people took part - thompson gold hotels are well known for their daytime and evening activities so surely anyone wanting a quiet hotel should go elsewhere The evening entertainment was very good and as stated above ALWAYS finished at 1130 pm - one night they actually cut an act short so as to not overrun the 1130 pm limit - Frogwell Flax and Arnold Gutbucket were outstandingly funny acts We also visited the 'Come fly with me' show at a local Casino - this was excellent - money well spent The location of the hotel is fine as far as being on the beach but not too many shops and nowhere to walk at night was a slight inconvenience - again if you want a more lively better located hotal go to somewhere else Thr food was adequate with reasonable choices, yes there was jelly and icecream daily but also lots of other sweets including bread abd butter pudding, trifle etc The trips organised by thompson reps were very good but I feel a little more advice should be given, for example the Caves of Drach whilst being mort interesting had many steps to climb and long distances to walk - one or two people really struggled The hotel also runs trips independent of thompsons - we went on one to Palma - we were the only English on board but the courier looked after us very well - the trip was billed as a half day but we did not get back to the hotel until after 3 pm - certainly got our moneysworth To sum up a decent hotel which probably should be three stars with extremely helpful, pleasant and friendly staff, adequate food and lots of entertainment day and night I must agree that people putting towels in a row at 7.
