"Great location, no traffic,plenty of bars, cafes, restaurants and shops. Hotel provides free WiFi and pool towels. Water provided. Air conditioning. Room very clean.Some friendly staff, others need to smile more. Coffee machine at breakfast great! Margherita pizzas were good! Negatives- on check in, not told about ferry to Spain, land train to beach, WiFi password,breakfast, events that were happening in the square- very poor communication. Room was a classic but very basic, ‘mini bar’was a campervan fridge, not offered upgrade or given wine in room as per booking on arrival. Mattress was firm. Mould in shower. Pools didn’t look or smell clean. Property looking tired in places, needing new flooring, carpet, plants dead on rooftop, rooftop plunge pool in red, table broken on rooftop bar, Breakfast ..minimum offerings. Ok stay for a couple of nights stay."
