Formentera Cheap Holidays

Good location, facilities and rooms okay but Air conditioning in room poor

Room was veey good, with fantastic views of the sunrise each morning (room 1229). Limited storage space but ok for one week. The hot tub on the terrace was a nice touch. Pool areas were clean and always managed to get a sunbed. The rooftop pool (adult only) was very shallow; hence, not possible to swim but ideal for cooling down on hot days. One massive negative for us was breakfast. My wife is Coeliac and requires a Gluten Free breakfast. Prior to arrival we checked this was available, which was confirmed. Unfortunately, due to the size of the kitchen and serving areas there was no seperate food preparation or serving areas. This resulted in my wife becoming very ill. To avoid more problems breakfast became a challenging time and very, very limited. Gluten Free bread was available, as were a couple of sealed cakes but even the chopped fruit, nuts, cheese or anything from the heated food range were off limits. On a positive note, the staff were extremely kind and tried their best to accommodate but due to the kitchen space and serving areas my wife had a very limited options. Location is in a residential area with a handful of good traditional restaurants within a 10 minute walk. The main promenade is about a 20 to 25 minute walk where there is lots of choice for bars and restaurants. Finally, the jewel in the crown for the hotel are its staff. Every person was pleasant, welcoming and polite. In particular, we would like to thank Robert and Una who went above and beyond
