I was really looking forward to getting here after reading the glowing reviews, we went to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary. First impressions were good, the reception, bar area looked really lovely. The room was clean, but quite dark. I booked a sea view, which although I could see the sea when I stood right at the end of my balcony, it wasn't quite the view I was expecting. The room finish was a bit low level, fittings it the kitchen area were a bit bodged doors not quite fitting, the wardrobe door made a horrendous noise trying to close and open it, as did the toilet when flushing the whole fitting shook. My husband sat on the sofa and the standing floor lamp next to him literally collapsed into pieces and landed on his head. The make up light on the bathroom mirror did not work, and we had no sink plug. I mentioned this to the older blond lady on reception. She was pleasant at first but looked less than impressed when I mentioned the lamp, her only concern was it the floor or table lamp! No apologies, I asked about the plug and apparently you have to ask for these as previous guests have flooded the bathroom..I've never stayed anywhere where I've asked for a plug. The lamp was fixed and I was given a plug so that was a bonus! The pool was beautiful but the sunbeds were packed in and we couldn't find a pair on the first couple of days. We ended up paying for the bali beds which were very nice and spacious. The breakfast offerings were great, as were the hardworking staff in there. We ate in the restaurant for lunch and again that was very nice, and the staff were lovely and cocktails/ drinks were very good and reasonably priced. We had a nice holiday but wouldn't return personally, the hotel felt too busy for us and I hate battling for sunbed. It felt that when the hotel us at near full capacity the facilities I.e sunbeds are not sufficient to cope, the breakfast although lovely was soo busy not particularly a relaxing start to the day.
