Lovely hotel, perfect with the two swimming pools especially if you have children. Staff are lovely and helpful. Only a 15-20 minute walk to the beach and approx 10 to the strip area. Shops very close by. Hotel very clean and studio apartments are great for babies. I would recommend this property.

The hotel gets the job done. It’s a bit outdated for a 4 star hotel. The walls are very thin and the twin beds pushed together to make a “king” do not work at all, they split apart while sleeping. The beds are also not comfortable. I went with my partner but for a family I can see how this hotel could work with the kitchen it has and the pools. They do some shows as well in thr evenings, again more family friendly. The 4 stars I give it is for the location close to the strip and walking distance otherwise I’d prefer a little more luxury.

The staff were excellent and very accommodating as we were a big group. We were impressed with the facilities and it was perfect for a large family gathering of all ages. Despite it being July, it was busy but we did not have to wait as it was well staffed and a large space. A little noisy outside at times as there were groups going to the nightspot (Strip)

Really lovely apartment. Location: Close enough to walk to the busy part of Albuferia, but far enough away to not hear it! 20 min gentle walk to the beach. 45 min walk to The Old Town. Food and drink: restaurant was beautiful, but very close to lots of bars and restaurants. Uber’s are ridiculously cheap and always available.

Hotel was great. Didn’t use all of the facilities or entertainment as we were out and about most of the time. Entertainment area was busy but relaxing in the evening. Pool is excellent and no bother getting a sunlounger. Spacious rooms and good air con! 300 euro or pounds cash security deposit for groups. We didn’t have to pay it though - be mindful you might be asked to if a few of you check in together.
