We stayed just 1 week 20th May . We were quite worried before we arrived regarding the noise and building work and seeing negative reviews. I had been corresponding with the hotel to check how bad it would be. Once we arrived after a very early flight 2am get up , our room was not ready and the told us to come back so we waited a while then told it would be even longer so decided to go outside and sit in the sunshine. We were given a lovely room on the 5th floor which was directly facing a crane but if you looked to the left the view was lovely of all the bay and beach /pools etc and everything . The crane itself was no bother except for being a view spoiler and there was very little noise when you are in the room . However our first full day we decided to sit by the pool in the afternoon, OMG the noise was terrible I think they were digging into the rocks , even the lady from the spa was laughing , she was trying to promote body massages and offered a free head massage , I said we certainly needed one with all that racket going on.......however that was the only time we had such a noise, after that it was just gentle noise from the crane whizzing by every so often and was no bother , I think they turned up the music a bit to drown it out, this was at the smaller pool. The bigger pool seemed more relaxing and had nice old fashioned music on so didnt disturb anyone. As for the pool area no nabbing beds before breakfast ..except we noticed a group of teenagers started doing it (there was no need) . The only confusing thing was the sunbed towels were not under a system yet (cards or whatever) so people were just using them and leaving them so it looked like beds were in use even if they were't. Also people were really lazy and leaving drink cups and mags and general rubbish and not binning it which I thought was bad , and no one came round cleaning it up. Also no toilets by the pool you have to go back into the building which I found odd . The good points however the room was lovely clean and tidy and a good balcony, fridge TV coffee and tea (kettle) Nice bed and bedding. Some confusion with the towels sometimes we didnt get our 2 big 2 small but generally we did . The breakfast was always good (same most days ) the coffee was the best Ive ever had in a hotel restaurant . We had an early departure at 7.00 and were not told we could have a packed breakfast ? so left without eating and relied on having time at the airport. The hotel bar was a nice quiet relaxing area and they had a bit of music on in the evenings which we would pop in for the last one before bed ! The poolside cafe was good they had lovely cakes, icecream and did proper meals too (we didnt try any as we went out each evening) All the staff were really pleasant and I think as they have only been open a short time are doing really well , obviously there will be settling in problems and its going to be a learning curve but give them time Im sure the hotel will be fabulous.
