United KingdomLocation is quite exceptional, such a large and comfortable resort so near to the old town and the town center. Despite the corona situation, everything worked basically on the normal basis. The staff was friendly and professional. The rooms were spacious with an excellent seaview. Also the pool area was quite comfortable.

United KingdomGreat location in old town. Near to restaurants and bars and cable car. Good breakfast, pools and friendly helpful staff. Half price happy hour for 1.5 hrs added bonus
United KingdomWe felt safe and welcome as soon as we entered the hotel. The safety features required for Covis-19 were impressive and firmly enforced, and the whole management was outstanding. Having had a Covid test at the airport we were required to isolate in our room until we received our results and with a balcony and sea view the 6 hours passed very quickly. We enjoyed everything about this hotel, from the breakfast/dining room to the sun lounger and outdoor pool area, to the heated indoor pool. The breakfast is enjoyable as was the evening meal which we had. The position of the Hotel neat the Old Town is ideal, with numerous good street restaurants to choose from and easy walking.
