Overall, a nice 4 star hotel but it is not 5 star. Positives first - staff. They were without exception, brilliant. Attentive, polite, impeccably mannered. We only ate the breakfast buffet but it was also very good. Live music out on the terrance bar was great, really talented musicians. Location was nice, a 5 minute walk down the promenade walk to plenty of restaurants and bars. The overall layout of the hotel is ok, although the hotel does look as though different bits have just been added on over the years in different styles and there are plenty of steps to negotiate. Pools - only one is heated, this is salt water and although fine, got busy as the other was not heated. The green scum all the way around the main pools was not what you expect of 5 stars, pool staff seemed to just say it was normal wear and tear. You had to set up your own pool beds, again not 5 star service (the beds incidentally were plastic loungers, 5 stars should mean better quality furniture) and if you hadn't reserved a bed before 10am against pool rules, you would not get beds! We were upgraded to a suite unbeknown to us which was lovely, spacious and a fantastic balcony. Bathroom was nice, although spa tub didn't work for 2 of our 6 nights. The room smelled musty as if not used for years, and the bedding all smelled rather unpleasant even after changed. The bed was massive but very uncomfortable and noisy each time we moved. We'd go back, but as a 4 star hotel priced accordingly.
