Left UK and storm behind arrived tired and booked in to our superior room.. A corner room with two windows overlooking the Atlantic.. A couple of best buddies wanting to chill the walls bright clean large walk in shower could have cried at the spaciousness and simplicity of the room which was perfect no naff pictures adorning the walls of the room tea and coffee making facilities.. Flip flops and dressing gowns and Pool towel provided.. There was soon a knock at the door and a tray with Nibbles and a Complementary bottle of water,,, buffet dinner was a buffet dinner.. Needless to say meats not especially hot but I have found this wherever you stay for a buffet.. The selection was huge and there is after all a trusty microwave if you want to Nuke it.. Drinks menu very reasonable having recently paid £7.50 for a 125ml glass Malbec in Ryde IOW and the wine was nice... Breakfast a total feast... As I am Keto salami cheese salad.. Omlettes nuts well I couldn't ask for more.. As for the other guests.. Lovely German folk cheerfully sharing the same space as us.. I don't speak German but a smile goes a long way as does Danke and Guten Morgan /Tag... Spanish. Isnt much better.. Spanglish sufficed and also a smile
Which saw us looked after beautifully.

Hotel location right at the beach and the promenade. View from the pool to the sea and the sunset is unbeatable( see foto ).
Room: beds very good, rain shower in the bathroom had full power.
Food: enourmous selection. Dining room very noisy but open air terasse with around 170 seats compensated the above disadvantage. Personal very friendly and in the case of the reception staff knowledgeable of at least three languages ( spanish, english, german )

Nice location right at the beach. Noisy windows kept banging in the wind at night keeping me awake. Nice sunny balcony with sea view. Nice green pool area. Good breakfast and dinner buffet. Incredibly slow check in procedure and a lot of administrative work just to borrow beach towels.

A massive hotel with all of the facilities that you would expect for a hotel of the size. Very close to both the sea/the beach and the town centre, so in a handy location. It had two pools and a decent sized number of loungers around them. The entertainment was okay but was more designed for pensioners from what we saw.
It is better than the drive from the main road would have you believe.
The rooms are large and reasonably well equipt though ours could have done with shelf in the bathroom and ideally one in the shower as well. The shower was good/pwerful. The downside was that the bathroon smelt, but this may have been the type of water being used to flush the toilet.
Lots of people seemed really happy with their stays and were return visitors. We thought that the hotel was good/okay, but let down by a few minor points:
In most cases the breakfast and evening meal food (buffet items) were much colder than you would expect, but we did find out that there was a Microwave to warm things up on the last day of our stay, hence they must have had this comment from a number of people.
Things like the drinks machine were often out of juice and this was early on during the meal, hence it points to them not being checked regularly.
The waiting staff at meal times were a real mix from helpful/friendly to downright grumpy. To counter this the reception staff were all just very nice and helpful. Well done to them!
If I was to stay again, I would go B&B rather than half board.

I didn't feel very welcome here. Maybe that's because I'm way younger than the main guests (mainly Germans - 50+). The crew were very stressy / busy all the time. They didn't even say: hey welcome, nice that you're here. The building is quite old, sixties style. Needs some renovation. I had to pay €3 per night to use the safe. Although the room was ok. After some days I found out that the breakfast was included, I didn't know that (the breakfast is ok). The crew didn't tell me anything about the hotel when I arrived. Bit crazy. The good thing about the hotel is that you can easily walk to the town, in 5 minutes. And there's a supermarket right in front of the hotel. Oh, I booked a sea side room, but it wasn't what I expected (see photo).
