lovely stay by the sea

lido deck helpful staff convenient service live band
The lido deck by the water was a highlight for me! the staff at reception were always helpful and kind. i found it easy to order food to the pool and beach, really convenient. I did this for three days. i paid 50 euro to take part in a party on the roof with a nice buffet and a live band. It was worth it!
the air conditioning can not be controlled in your own room, minimum temperature is set by the hotel.

i found the staff quite friendly. the breakfast was good, a lot of choices there. the hotel had a private beach, thats a very nice thing.
my room was dark, it faced a stone wall. the hotel is big and its geared toward groups. i think its impersonal, no pictures on the walls.

adequate, but some issues

centrally controlled air conditioning high bar prices
the room was clean and met my expectations for basic hygiene.
The air conditioning system looked to be centrally controlled (i prefer individual control). this resulted in a room temperature i found uncomfortably warm. additionally, i found the prices at the bar quite high. Ten euros for a gin and tonic is excessive.
