Staff at reception were very friendly and helpful I spilt some nail polish on the floor at 3:15 approximately on Monday and I immediately reported it to reception. No one came before I left for an appointment at 4:10pm that day. Next morning I rang reception as the iron wasn’t working at around 7:45am and asked for a working iron and again reported about the nail polish on the floor. Around 9am I again rang reception regarding the iron as well as the nail polish that I had spilt on the floor on Monday! Eventually I had to get dressed - without being able to iron my outfit as no one had bought the iron to my room. As well they had not come to check out the nail polish spill ! When I checked out, I returned my “keys” to reception and mentioned that no replacement iron was delivered to my room and no one had been to look at the nail polish spill. I was given an apology regarding the iron and informed someone had been to the room and tried to remove the nail polish, without success, as the polish was dry by that time. The receptionist also told me that Romada had a carpet cleaner and would use that and there would be no additional costs It’s disappointing that I had to call reception numerous occasions regarding thes issues

Would have been better had there been no smokers on their balconies. We could not enjoy the great view from our balcony that we paid extra for because of most of the rooms next to us had smokers and were smoking on their balconies. We were never told this was permissible.

The hotel is part owner units. My unit was really difficult to get to, out the main entrance, through a car park, up 2 sets of stairs (no lift) and down a hallway where there is another car park. Phones didn’t work in room. No daily service. Staff were really nice though!

Lovely resort, well maintained and across the road from the beach. Our hotel room was clean, comfortable, roomy and had a very well appointed kitchenette. The pool area was lovely and catered for a variety of ages. There was also an indoor lap pool and spa upstairs. The staff were very helpful and pleasant. We will definitely be returning.
