I'm not normally one to write reviews; but on this occasion I felt I had to. I would like to begin by saying that this is certainly not the worst hotel I have ever been to, but it is nowhere near worthy of the 4 stars it seems to have got. I have a sneaky suspicion that it may well be self-proclaimed. The rooms were OK - only OK. The room we had was right opposite The Station Pub, which was obscenely loud (not necessarily the hotel's fault though). It was cleaned OK - but again only OK. We arrived very late in the day, and had been promised some water and a couple of cans of fizzy drinks - these did not materialise unfortunately, only a few rock-hard sandwiches that were inedible. Had to wait until the supermarket opposite was open to go and get some water. Generally the staff in the hotel appeared to be majorly inconvenienced by all the patrons of the hotel/apartments - the majority were sullen, rude and ignorant, in particular a couple who worked at the main pool bar who would only grunt at you if you were lucky. The room key cards malfunctioned numerous times, resulting in the inconvenience of having to go to reception to get them reset. The lifeguards could not have been less interested, on their phones, smoking, talking amongst themselves, or just picking their nails. The food in the main restaurant was mediocre at best, there was plenty of variety, but it was lukewarm and pretty tasteless, and I suspect the fruits and salads were there for several sittings at a time. The food at the snack bar was not very imaginative. The location of the hotel was good, it was only a few minute walk to a small, stony beach. The water park was a big hit with my children, but unfortunately they're not quite as discerning as their mother - it was rundown and maintained poorly, it was quite unsanitary as well. The lifeguards seemed more interested in entertaining themselves and children they knew that obviously had the benefits of using the water park. The main pool area was quite pleasant, but the edging was mouldy and some were broken, some poor little girl's foot went through it. There were plenty of sunbeds. There was availability of beach towels daily, and as hard as the pool boy worked, he did seem to set his own schedule and do things in his own time! There was an indoor pool that was beyond disgusting, and the bathrooms close to the pools were simply a biohazard. There was a distinct lack of entertainment during the day, there were a couple of unenthused attempts to do water polo and aqua-aerobics, we couldn't even muster the energy to venture to the main evening's entertainment - we heard some wailing one evening that we believe to be karaoke, and thought it best to give it a wide berth!
