Staff were courteous, would be helpful if there was a toilet brush, overall the rooms were clean and beds comfortable. Fridge was quite loud when trying to sleep and didn’t seem to be a hand towel, a hook near basin would be good for washing and drying hands. Great location easy walk to restaurants and beach. Would recommend and rebook

Although our room was beach view, could not see the beach from the room , unless your sitting in the corner of the balcony. If you like hearing loud aircon noises over the beach, this place is for you. Needes to keep the door closed at all times as it was so loud! Air con vents need to be cleaned and its very dusty& dirty. Overall, great location.

Bed on wheels so when you say on it the bed ended up on the either side of the room. The phone didn't work in the room and when I told the reception they said someone would fix it. No one did. Lipstick on the coffee mugs in the room, so these had not be cleaned. People next door smoking on balcony. Was ignored for 10 mins at the bar area when I wanted to get something.

Learned a lesson not to book when hotel is under construction and within the centre. The noise was terrible to have a good rest adding the night time loud music and shouting that can still be heard in the 23rd floor of the room until the early hours of the morning. Aside from that, the hotel is conveniently located where the beach and amenities are and the hotel itself is immaculate with the lovely and friendly staff and cleaners.

With three bars in close vicinity you may as well go out Thursday to Saturday night as the noise is loud until 2.30am, shame as this is all that spoiled our stay, we've been visiting the Novotel but will give it a miss for the next Surfers holiday
