Location great, staff great. Breakfast options could be better and the towel systems is frustrating. You can only have 1 towel. Room was spotless, very nice and facilities good overall.
Amazing location, and room with a view! Nice location to shops and restaurants, and a casino nearby as well. Food at the hotel was plentiful, lots of buffets. Hotel staff was exceptional is service. Food service staff was slow at times, but not to the point of complaints.
Rooms were clean, comfortable and a good size. Location is good (once you figure out the shortcut to the marina!) and the kids play area is really good.
Breakfast was good although the oat milk disappeared halfway through our stay which became a problem. I’d strongly recommend eating inside though as it was like something out of a Hitchcock movie (if funny to watch unsuspecting guests leave their table to get a drink and find their breakfast had disappeared while they were gone!)
It was difficult to get a lounger by the pool and the hotel was fairly quiet so I think it would be almost impossible in peak season.
One of the main reasons for booking this hotel was the indoor pool as we knew the outdoor one may be cold. We were disappointed to find that children were not allowed in at times and that it came with an extra cost (as did a few things at the hotel)
The staff were wonderful at the hotel including the bellman, restaurant staff, spa and front desk. Our junior suite was lovely with a wonderful beach facing balcony.
The absolute best breakfast I’ve had in a hotel setting - staff truly could not have been more welcoming and accommodating- only had 3 days but would hav stayed longer if possible- I would
Highly recommend - and its location was superb
Great location , I recommend the room with ocean view , it is beautiful. Hotel itself is decent but not the most striking 5 star hotel I have seen . Staff however was really good and helpful, hotel clean , food nice. The beach is just outside and not too crowded , unfortunately the hotel does not offer the beds or umbrellas on the beach and you need to pay 10 euros a day in er person for one .
Nice and cool inside spaces. Aircon in rooms worked perfectly and easy to use.
Sunbed allocation could be better as very busy.
Decor is getting a bit older in rooms but all spotless.
Beds really comfortable
Breakfast first class
We had a wonderful stay during the Easter holiday. The hotel truly lives up to its 5-star rating. The staff were consistently friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. The spa facilities were excellent—clean, relaxing, and a perfect place to unwind. Everything throughout our stay ran smoothly, and we didn’t encounter any issues at all. We would definitely return and highly recommend this hotel.

Immaculately presented. Rooms amazing. Central location and free parking. Breakfast was like a banquet for a King.
Stayed during the “off season” so the hotel had a small number of guests. The staff were absolutely wonderful. The morning breakfast was amazing. Hotel is a 2 minute walk to the beach and it’s a short walk to the marina where there is an abundance of restaurants. Highly recommend staying at the Crowne Plaza.
