I wasnt expecting much as it was a cheap last minute hol, but knew it would be 3 star, so thought it couldnt be that bad!!!!.

We was all inclusive, food was ok, but never ate dinner there, looked the same everyday, there was only two toasters, which was a nighmare,you would wait a very long time for toast.

Getting drinks always involved a long wait, there was only ever 2 staff, and you are only aloud 2 drinks per person, and the beer is not even half a pint,25 min wait sometimes,

The hotel staff did seeem to try and keep clean, but was an endless task as alot of people liked to make a lot of mess,

there was alot of students staying in the hotel, and they caused, a lot of noise and trouble, which the hotel didnt seem to be bothered about,
We only went for fout days, and it rained 2 and half days, which made the holiday worse, as there really is knothing to do.

The walls to the rooms are very thin, so when next door go to the toilet it sounds like there in your bathroom, and we had very noisy neighbours, so came home from this holiday sleep deprived,

Staying in this hotel was the longest four days of my life.

Entertainment was very very poor,

Staff always look moody they never smile, not very helpful.

I would never return.

this was my honeymoon for 1 week and we wanted to go home after 2 days.this hotel is a hostel for students. The noise is unbearable banging doors and shouting all 24 hours and if you want to sleep you cant. maids dont clean and bedsheets not changed for 6 days until we complained and had holes in and we itched all night.decor of room was old and paintwork rusty and cracks in glass and moth holes in curtains and woowork chipped. food is not cooked properly and always the same and gave us the d,s. lost weight which was good. all hotel staff never smiled especially reception and not helpful when complained.20 min queing at bar for drinks and entertainment was always disco mainly with screaming kids running riot. Dont go there holiday from hell.

If your not a fussy eater then you can always find something,if you want 5* then pay for it!!!!the food was ok,they can please some people some of the time but not everyone all of the time,and there was definatley a wide range to choose from.hotel was clean,walls very thin,really thin,and the entertainment was really poor.If they let you know thats its a kiddies disco and youth club they should state it as a "family hotel" that way the older clientel will know of in advance whether or not to choose to stay.

I got a cheap deal so wasn't expecting much, and it was just as well. I asked for a room on lower floor as friend has mobility problems, and we were given one on the 5th floor as the first 4 floors were taken up by students, who partied hard all day and night, and rampaged up and down throwing food, being sick and knocking on our doors, an trying to get in other guests rooms, until 5am most mornings!!

The rooms were clean but really tiny. The walls are literally paper thin, and you can hear literally everything going on in surrounding rooms, and when I say everything I mean it, from a breath, cough to other bodily functions.

The TVs blast out and can't be turned down as there is no remote.

The maids work extremely hard and the rooms are cleaned, and fresh towels n loo rolls provided every day.

The food is the same every day. I am a vegetarian so lived of salad, cheese, chips and pasta.

The noise in the dining room in unbearable, as the students shout across your tables to each other, and have no manners or any idea of how to behave at all.

The bar staff aren't too bad, apart from one who never managed to smile except when he realised we were going the day after, but I still didn't tip him!!

The entertainment was a disco 5 nights with karoake and flamenco on the two others.

I would strongly recommned not visiting this hotel if you need a rest, as I have come back sleep depreived and exhausted. Students stay there all the time in there hundreds as there is a college behind that they visit.

People with young kids were complaining of lack of sleep, every day at reception, we had to catch up on our sleep most afternoons!!!!!

The manager needs to decide if he's running a family hotel, or a youth hostel, as that's what it seemed like to me.

We had only just arrived and got to our rooms. I

Stayed in Olympic hotel for my 15th wedding anniversary was not expecting much as we did not pay a lot for the four day break.

The hotel was clean on first glance but then we got in the room which had two single beds instead of a double, then there was the smell of urine from the bathroom.

Apart from that it was OK. The food was terrible on the second night my husband told a member of staff that the pork meat was still raw in the middle he said what do you want me to do. Lines were so long to get a drink I would not use this hotel again.

It was like going to a old folks home for five days, then 400 teenager's came then it turned into a youth hostel.

My partner and I went with our 13 year old, the beds was all single pushed together, wall was paper thin so you could here everything in the next rooms just big enough to swing a cat.

The lift was always broke the dinning room was like one big school dinning hall, food was lukewarm you could use the microwave to heat it up. If you like pork, turkey or fish you will be OK as the meals are always the same.

The swimming pools are freezing cold none are heated.

If you go all inclusive you get a card wish you can get 2 drinks per card per person, the glasses are very big and it takes 20 minutes to get served.

booked a cheap week away without the kids, didnt expect too much for the price, was hoping for a bit better than what we received.
like most people have already said on here, rooms are small but ok for couples, beds are all singles, very outdated decor and furniture. walls are really thin which is great if you enjoy hearing peoples conversations or sexual goings on, if not then take a pair of ear plugs so you can get a decent sleep.
maids keep rooms tidy and towels fresh every day.
reception staff are helpful especially if you get the english woman. bar staff are miserable and dont really seem interested in serving.there is a stupid two drinks per card /per customer rule and if you have lager, it is served in plastic beakers which arent even half pint.
food is terrible and usually cold, and always the same. dont ask the guy walking round the restaurant with a drinks trolley for anything as you have to pay for it, unlike the spanish who appeared to get a bottle of red wine and a bottle of water put on the table as soon as they sat down with no charge.
pools are clean but freezing cold, maybe thats ok in june/july but for sept/oct they could do with being heated. hotel is situated on a hill which is about 5 mins walk from shops, and 10 mins to beach.
entertainment in hotel was rubbish, maybe better in peak season. wouldnt recommend this hotel to families or anyone for that matter. there is two other hotels in this chain which are a couple of minautes walk away, the amika being the better and much nicer of the two.
