    Lifts, takes ages waiting and on 7th floor it was a long wait, dining room access to breakfast beverages and queuing for food. Ice cream scoops disgusting wet sticky handles. Food not hot and cold plates. Tables not cleared during service.

    Location, pool area, staff very good

    The room was freezing at night and despite telling reception the heating wasn't working nobody came to fix it. Eventually on our last night we were supplied with a heater at 2am! Very poor service.

    Breakfast had a large variety of cold and hot foods and was excellent. On arrival, there was water and a bottle of complimentary wine in the room, which was lovely. Entertainment was good at night although a bit late starting.

    Evening meal was disappointing as there was lack of selection. Poor quality food in general. Breakfast was better. However, coffee was not great and fruit juice was not fresh.

    The room was very good.

    Really enjoyed our stay. Location is second to none!

    It's looking a little tired. However apart from some of the exterior (which I'm assuming will be touched up in the quiet months), it's only small things like the plug facias peeling and there are mismatched coathangers in the wardrobe so it wouldn't stop us returning. We had hired a car at the airport so needed to park it at the hotel. We knew that the parking was 15eu a night but for some I think that would be a shock! Still, it meant that we knew the car was safe cos otherwise it would have meant parking a distance away.

    The room was a good size with plently of storage and a good size bathroom. Lovely sea view from the balcony. Cleaned and made up speedily during the day. Tea and coffee facilities and even a small fridge. We only had breakfast at the hotel but that was plentiful and gave you many choices - cooked, cold meats/cheese,fruit,cereals,pastries and even a cooking station for omlettes! The location is great. Just pop out of the bottom floor through the hotel's garden gate and you are on the promenade in front of the beach, literally a 10 minute walk to the marina (and the aquarium)

    If I had to pick anything , and I am a fussy eater, I was slightly disappointed with the hot food on the one night we chose to eat at the hotel restaurant, but it wasn’t the end of the world. Deserts were fab which made up for it.

    Modern, clean and great location. Staff were excellent.

    The breakfast was distinctly mediocre. Out of ten mornings we tried it three times, each at a different time within breakfast service. Soggy scrambled eggs, limp bacon, tasteless sausage, no decent cereals, no fish. The fresh fruit selection and orange juice were the saviours! Inadequate parking. Even with a Blue Badge parking was limited to two spaces with a wall within inches of the car door. Access to a car park next door was uneven and cost Euro 15 daily without a Blue Badge.

    Perfect location right on the seafront with a lift from the hotel reception, so step free from our room on floor five all the way to the seafront! Gardens with little private spots to sit or sunbathe. Apart from one, every member of staff was lovely! Reception team were helpful and willing to assist, housekeepers were jolly and engaging, bar staff a hoot! Free room safe and free WiFi! Places to sit and chill away from the poolside. Fifth floor view - look one way to see the road but the other way: sea, beach, sky and sunset hues over Gibraltar on the horizon!

    The shower in our room took a long time to heat up and appeared to be a small leak from room above in our bathroom.

    Breakfast was included and was great, lots to choose from and ran from 8 - 11am. View from the room was amazing, could see the beach, sea and Marina. Location was great as only 5 minute walk to the Marina.
