Starting feel a bit dated by now.
Great location, fun hub of guests, but by now the room needs an update.
I payed a very reduced price so it was all good. But with the normal rate I would find it very over prized for how it is.
The spa (not owned by the hotel, I know) would do well with a deep clean and some updating too.

Above and beyond service
I actually got sick and needed medical help, and they were great and went out of their way to pack my room and deliver essentials to me at the hospital. Also offered to come sit with me for company. Above and beyond in service. Highly recommend.

Nothing special about this hotel
I checked in at 3:30pm to be told my room was not ready . I said it was not acceptable an a room was found straight away. I felt the front staff need more training on welcoming guest as I did not feel this

If you're going to stay here, know that its primarily LGTB The stay was overall ok. Note: They will charge you for anything you use in the room (including soaps, etc.). You pay an additional tourist fee at check-in ($12 Euro per person). Great location overall. Parking cost about $25 Euros.
