I just returned to this hotel after 10 years and overall I was very disappointed. The hotel is very outdated and needs a full refurb. Bathrooms are from the 80s. There are cracks on the facade and on the asphalt in front of the hotel and by the pool area. The pool area have employed young inexperienced staff.
Once we arrived to the hotel we headed straight to the pool area to have a late lunch. We were given a table which supposedly had been cleaned and set up for us but which had pieces of spaghetti in gaps on the table, also bread crumbs and parmesan from previous guests on the placemats, seriously disgusting. When I informed the waitress, she didn’t even apologise, tried to remove some of the spaghetti which was trapped in a gap on the table and just said “sorry my fingers aren’t small enough to remove the rest”. She could have just come with a knife or scissors to scrape it up.
Also when we arrived to lie down by the pool, nobody even checked if we were from the hotel and though the poolboy saw that I was struggling to raise the parasol, he didnt do anything. I had to waive and call for him to come over.
At breakfast the avocado at the buffet was mouldy- anyone could see that with the naked eye.
The only positives: the bar which has a very nice feel to it, the location, and last but not least the concierge Frank. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly and goes above and beyond!!
That said, I will not be returning.
