Let me start by saying that the hotel staff, in the main, were very nice.Unfortunately, however this hotel does not meet the description and bears no resemblance to the now dated photos shown in the adverts.It is not a ”resort” hotel for beach /sun loving holiday makers, more a drop-in overnighter for students and folks on tour. The hotel is down a small side street off the very busy main road and is located in a residential and commercial area.We were picked up from the drop off point by an older gent in his decrepit works van, which raised immediate red flags.The van, with its one working door, then dropped us at what I thought was the back-door but turned out to be the main entrance to the hotel. The van was parked there most days, not really a welcoming sight.The room was a decent size however the bathroom was smaller than our wardrobes at home. The wife and myself are not big people but it was a struggle getting into the shower cubicle and manouvering around in it. No room for shelves for your shampoos,soaps etc so it all went on the shower floor meaning you had to carefully bend down without bumping the lever and switching the shower off. There was a kettle but no welcoming tea or coffee, and you cannot get towels for the pool or beach. The ”double” bed was 2 singles pushed together.The wall-paper was coming away from the wall at points, and one of the lamps was held together with masking tape.Also,be aware..... you can hear everything, and I mean everything, from the neighbouring rooms. The bar was in the main entrance area and was rarely manned and very sterile, no music, TV's switched off (there were no English speaking channels anyway) and not somewhere you could get a cold beer ar a sandwhich on a whim.The restuarant is below ground level and has no windows, not much chance of a romatic dinner overlooking the ocean or a beautiful garden I'm afraid. As with the bar, there is no music, but you do get paper table clothes, s&p in sachets, not shakers,and the food is re-heated for you as you have to order at breakfast to let them prepare it. Nothing is cooked to order, there are no fresh vegetables, you mainly get lettuce with everything. The breakfast selection is sparce. No bacon, sausages, beans, tomatoes, hash browns, fresh yoghurts (there are supermarket carton ones). The staple appears to be boiled potatoes diced up with some tinned mini-hot-dogs! There are no bar-snacks of any kind on offer between breakfast and dinner, nothing that would help you enjoy your experience. The pool area is small, no room for loungers only deck chairs, and the rooftop terrace with views of the surrounding tenaments on 3 sides is the only other option. Neither area is manned, so if you want a cool drink, snack or ice-cream, forget it. There are no parasols or waste bins anywhere, and the whirlpools are filthy. The beach is a good 30 minute walk, and the main road is only 50 yards from the front door so be careful. The traffic is horrendous, there are no c
