Poor Location NO WAY 4**** in need of modernising
We arrived at the hotel at 1115 pm starving and thirsty!! the bar was CLOSED!! and there wasnt anywhere to get food or drink the nearest restaurant/bar was at least 20-30 min away.WHich would be closed we were told.The rooms were large and okay not great poor tv nearly hanging of the wall, our towels were changed daily but were incredibly thin and worn not one surface was wiped in the lounge, bedroom or dining area Throughout our stay!! The bathrooms very dated. There is a gym but at a cost of 5 euros each time you use it very grumpy un helpful man running it, only really wanted to accomodate the locals!! the tennis courts are run down and in poor condition.The pool was freezing couldnt go in it, hardly ever anyone at the pool bar!! there own super market is poor!! Have to hyke 10 - 15 min to another then lug it all back. The beach is 5 - 10 min walk steep down/up hill flat shoes are a must as every pavement is cobble/stone.30-40 min walk to Albuferia to get to any bars or restaurants this is not a hotel to go to unless you have a car - Nothing to do here boring dull out of the way no atmosphere this is how I would imagine a hostel to be - WILL NEVER RETURN

Another relaxing holiday
Just returned from a week's holiday at this hotel. This was my third visit so I knew what to expect.We had asked for a quiet room as we knew that the road was very busy and noisy and that is what we got. The rooms are large and spacious with a large balcony which is lovely for watching the sun rise and set. We also had a very nice sea view. The rooms are well appointed with a good sized kitchen area, although some of the bathroom fittings had seen better days. Everything was kept spotlessly clean by the staff. The room was ready on arrival which was a bonus. The pool area is also kept very clean although the sun beds are extremely uncomfortable. There is also quite a lot of noise from the Holiday Village next door, but their midday general knowledge quiz is quite good fun! The hotel also has free WiFi connection in the reception area and on the first floor area which is another bonus. We did not use the restaurant so cannot comment on this facility.The hotel is quite a walk from The Strip where there are loads of restaurants and bars, although there is a bus stop outside the hotel. There are a couple of local restaurants and the beach across the road is lovely. The reception staff are very efficient re checking in and checking out. I can't comment on how good they would be if there was a problem as, in my three visits to this hotel, I've never had a problem. All in all, we had a lovely relaxing holiday with perfect weather and would certainly visit again.

Good walking distance until beach
The hotel is situated in a walking distance from beach, we take 5 minutes to get there, and it is also near from the new city center, one may walk, it takes maybe 30 min to get there. which is acceptable to walk at night, to go for a beer or something! The rooms are clean and with good area. The swimming pool was also clean (both inner and outer pool) and there is tennis field as well as gym with good conditions.

Great hotel and facilities.
I couldn't fault the facilities at this hotel, for the price we paid (1st Oct 2012) we were very pleased, the room was big, very clean and comfortable. The room was cleanded every day and towels changed. The pool was great and we once ate from the pool bar which was ok, more convenient than anything. Did think the pool bar was a little pricey, however there is a small grocery shop on site and they had no objections to you buying drinks in there and bringing them to the pool (70C for a can of beer as opposed to E4.00 for a pint!).As many people have stated, the location isn't great if you aren't a keen walker! But taxis to the strip and to the old town are very cheap. We did use the bus from the bus stop outside the hotel to go to the old town one evening and it cost us E4.80 for the two of us, but the taxi back only cost E4.50! The old town is stunning, and by far the better location for a nice meal.Also, we used yellowfishtransfers.com to get us back and forth to the airport, and I highly recommend them, very reasonably priced and professional and we even received a complimentary bottle of wine to start our holiday off!Overall this was a great holiday, (even though my partner was ill), great hotel and stunning beaches.
