A True Hidden Gem – Fantastic Value, Amazing Location, and Surpassed All Expectations! We booked a last-minute getaway and chose this hotel based on its price and location—and standardly speaking, we were absolutely blown away! It proved to be an incredible find, offering so much value for money that we would return in a heartbeat. Arriving & First Impressions Upon arrival, we were welcomed by a lovely, spotless, and wonderfully friendly reception team. Since we arrived early, we seamlessly dropped our bags in the luggage room and headed straight for the pool on the first floor. The pool area was a delightful surprise! While cozy, it was actually larger than expected. Even during peak high season, it was remarkably calm and relaxing—at times, we even had the entire pool to ourselves! While the building’s exterior has a classic, retro charm and could certainly benefit from a few cosmetic updates (a fresh sign and some warm lighting at the entrance would make it pop!), don’t let a tired facade fool you—the inside is where this hotel truly shines. The Room We were pleasantly surprised by our one-bedroom apartment. It was huge and spotlessly clean—you simply cannot fault it for the price! Although we didn’t pay extra for a sea view and overlooked the quiet road, we were thrilled to find that our bedroom window offered a lovely, charming view straight down to the beach. Unbeatable Location The location of this hotel is an absolute 10/10:
- The Beach: Just steps outside the hotel! Gorgeous sand, reasonably priced sunbed options (£15–£20 depending on the style), and a lovely, affordable beach café right on the water.
- The Marina: A short stroll to the left brings you to a beautiful marina, perfect for a evening walk (or taking in the lively beach club atmosphere nearby).
- The Strip: Turning right leads you straight to a vibrant, 2-mile strip packed with endless restaurants, bars, and shops, anchored by a charming pop-up market selling clothes, bags, and jewelry at the end.
Top Tip for Families: While the strip has plenty of variety (Italian, Indian, Sushi, Seafood), traveling with kids can make choosing a spot tricky! We struck gold with Café del Mar nearby—they serve an incredible, crowd-pleasing menu ranging from burgers to salmon and lasagna, all accompanied by stunning views. We ate there twice and loved every bite!
Final Thoughts This stay completely exceeded our expectations. It delivers unbeatable value, huge spotless rooms, an amazing pool experience, and a prime location near the beach, marina, and strip. We had a fantastic trip and will definitely be back!

Very outdated in need of a refurb big time broken electrical sockets in the kitchen bare wires hanging from ceiling light in the lounge the internal doors are terrible the surfaces are peeling off the outside door has a lock that went out of date in the 1950's impossible to get a key into apart from that it's only saving grace is that it's clean

Not recommended for anyone with a disability.
Let's get the good out first. Nice apartment for S.C.and we asked for chairs at the pool can't really think of anything else. Points that need improvement. The first night we killed all About 14/15 Fleas in the bathroom.When we reported it next day can't do much with the hot weather flies keep coming in,we understood that and didn't have any flies, THEY were fleas.Reception said they would get someone to sort it,never happened. Pool very small and despite reading notice on the wall about bringing glasses from the bar not allowed,There was. No bar. The gents changing room and toilets were a disgrace. It is not a place for anyone with disability as there were steps everywhere to the pool. Extremely breezy one umbrella took off and luckily a child had just moved from where it landed. Surprised Love Holidays recommended this as from day1 booking we informed that we are both on Rollators. Not somewhere I'd recommend

Dreadful
location was perfect. Apartment was dirty, cracked tiles everywhere, ants on the worktop, stained sofa, very basic crockery, dirty sun loungers by the pool. The pictures on the web site must be at least 30 years old. Very drab place. very noisy.

Great experience
The apartment was really nice I just come back on the 11th May I have been here 3 times already but disappointed on this occasion as the pool would not be open until the 17th May. The location is amazing and it's s short distance away from the beach and all the restaurants and bars. Room was nice and clean and they come every 3 days to clean the value was good and atmosphere was good would recommend
