Just come back from here on Weds after 8 days. Best part about it is the staff. Everyone says the same on here and FB and its true they are all so so friendly. Hotel is nice and modern, pool never gets manic busy and views are great.

Food - Evening meals are nice but a bit limited and not very Spanish although the salad buffet starter is amazing and enough on its own to be fair. Breakfast the continental is amazing, cooked breakfasts aren't nice theyre always cold and the sausages are pathetic and mushrooms from a tin. The fruit is lovely but they could make a bit more of it, its the same every day. The continental is definitely the best.

The rooms are nice and modern although there is one major issue. The newly installed AC. Its just useless and there is only a fan speed switch in the rooms not a temperature control. Whoever thought of that needs shooting. Like hundreds of people in each room will want to be the same temperature as each other which is centrally controlled but for some reason cant be touched at reception?? One walk past reception and you hear other guests complaining so its not just me. They did give me a big fan though and that's the only reason I survived. The AC also smells funny when it runs. The other issues i had with the room were the flashing LED on the smoke alarm that is so bright you can see it through your eyelids when your trying to sleep and the same from the TV which you cant switch off. However if you ask them the maintenance man has a specially designed cover for the Smoke alarm that allows it to work and disguises the LED so again they must know this is a problem. The only other issue was the toilet brush was disgraceful it looked like they refurbed the rooms and forgot the brush it was filthy and old and I showed the maid but she just shrugged at me.
