First of all, this hotel looks every bit as lovely as it does in the photos. Right on the beach with free sunbeds and parasols and lovely thick mattresses on them. Comfiest sunbeds we have ever had. Went for a week on 8th October in a double room with side sea view. On arrival at the hotel, you have to go down some steps which lead into the restaurant which we thought a bit strange, but anyway, the reception is just round the corner. The lovely young lady on reception greeted and welcomed us warmly. Her name was Angela too. We did all the necessary stuff, the safe key, the tourist tax etc and Angela took us over the road to the other hotel building and showed us to the lift. We had room 133 allocated to us. Big family room, huge bed, single bed settee and a fold out bed chair. TV, fridge with complimentary bottle of water and a bottle of wine too. Tea and coffee making facilities. My first thing is always to go on the balcony and see the view. I have to say i was disappointed. Yes i could see the sea, and the garden was very nice too, but there was a huge tree in front of the balcony which cut out all the light, sunshine and air. We stayed in that room for the evening and all of the next day, before i admitted to myself that it was going to spoil my holiday not having any sunshine coming in, so i went to reception and asked if i could change rooms and explained why. They were extremely helpful, they couldnt do anything that day, but the next morning they offered me a key to a different room and said if we liked it, to just move our stuff into it, which is what we did. We only moved along the corridor, but into room number 137 which was bathed in beautiful sunshine, so light and airy, although it was a smaller room and very small bathroom, but i was much happier. All the staff, the cleaners, barmen etc are always friendly and smiling and always greet you, the place is very clean and tidy and our bedding and towels were changed every single day. You are given 2 beach towels in your room and also some slippers, there is extra bedding in the wardrobe, along with a small safe, which is located on the floor in the corner - not very good for those of use with old bones! As i mentioned previously, the hotel is in two halves. One side houses the restaurant, reception, lounge areas, inside entertainment and the other side has the heated indoor swimming pool, spa, gym and kids machines, snooker tables etc. They are seperated by a narrow road which can at times get busy. There is a river to one side of the hotel which is very pretty at night with a couple of little boats all lit up, and there are the geese and ducks - who make themselves heard on many occasions. These geese are very tame and also wander around between the sun beds, especially if they hear you rustling a paper bag, they come waddling along expecting something to eat. The sea was lovely and warm which was a blessing because the 2 outdoor pools were absolutely freezing. The Beach bar - which i
