General Comments

Located about 20 minutes walk from the resort centre, and thus not plagued by the noise of late-night revelries, the hotel is built in the modern low-rise Ziggurat style offering sun on all balconies. Twin rooms are big enough to sleep four people in ample space. They are furnished with superbly firm beds. Bed linen is changed every other day and towels are changed daily. Room televisions offer only CNN as an English language channel when a BBC or Sky channel would better suit the almost entirely British clientele. The hair dryer is in the bathroom and there is a fridge in which you may put your own drinks.
The restaurant is all buffet and offers a very wide choice of food geared towards British tastes with a Spanish option for all meals plus a pasta choice at dinner.
In late September the average age of holidaymakers was over Sixty but they were a very lively lot and many took full advantage of the activities organised by Thomson's "hosts". The Thomson entertainment staff are excellent and even if you don't join in the activities there is plenty of amusement to be had from simply watching. In the daytime, this takes place around one of the hotel's two big pools. The other pool is separated from the first by a line of rooms which provides some sound insulation and is thus fairly quiet.
Facilities are good except that the gym has no view out and is not well-equipped.
If you spend your evening out of your bedroom, whether in the hotel's own Pavilion Bar or off the premises, you will not be disturbed by the noise from excellent the evening entertainment which ends at midnight. If you retire to bed early then you are likely to prefer rooms 220 to 240 (ground floor [garden rooms]), 241 to 262 (garden suites) or rooms 320 to 340 (first floor, better sea views) or 429 to 447 (top floor, even better sea views). Rooms 421 to 425 offer top floor sea views over a pool. Rooms 301 to 316 look towards the sea over the same pool but being lower offer less of a view.
Hotel staff and the Thomson staff are excellent, friendly and offer very good service, reflecting well on their respective employers.
