Hi,
My mum + dad stayed in this hotel in October and thoroughly enjoyed themseives.When I visited them I found the rooms to be spacious and bright although I would request a high floor room as the lower floor room balconies are covered by the local vegetation.As for the GC1 I can say that my parents never mentioned any noise from this.I can tell you that this hotel is fairly German oriantated but my parents never found this to be a problem.There is also a free bus service every 45 mins or so to the beach.If you require any more info then feel free to ask. :P

Just to add to what has already been said about the hotel. I cannot remember any air conditioning in the rooms,but then i never spent much time in my room 8)
The British Bar that is in the basement near the restaurant is superb as well.
Hope you enjoy yourself if you go. :D

I've just come back from it. We were moved there 3 days before we left, even though we booked the trip in Sept. They made it sound more attractive cos we went from self catering to half board. I cant believe people enjoyed this place. It was like a step back to the 70's. I go on holiday to get away from people and this place reminded me of Waterloo Station on a monday morning!

The food was no better than school dinners, apart from the xmas day dinner and new years eve gala dinner. That made it even more annoying cos it showed they actually did know what good food looked and tasted like. It was a full on bun fight.

By the pool, the towels were over every single sun bed even though the sign asked people not to. About as useful as Poland having a massive, please dont invade sign, on their border. (I know cheap gag). The bigger pool was like some awful techno rave with music blaring out all day.

The band playing music til 12 midnight nearly every night, then the onslaught as our lovely neighbours arriving home all through the night, shouting off the balcony in language only our royal family would understand. Then the dreaded Norovirus struck and i cant even tell you how awful that was. One by one we fell.

Im sure there are plenty of people who do enjoy this kind of holiday and good luck to them. But if you want piece and quiet this isnt for you. Chuck in a 5 hour delay and 3 hours to check in at the airport on the way out and it was pretty much a nightmare.

Never again!
