Hotel Florida

Location was perfect. Beach view was excellent. Breakfast was extensive, very good. Sitting on porch overlooking the water was perfect!

Our room was small but adequate. The breakfast buffet was very good and the staff worked very hard to keep tables clean and to make sure all of the breakfast items were available. We swam at the beach across the street so did not use the pool, but it looked inviting.

First, the good points: The hotel is spotlessly clean, the air conditioning worked well, and the staff at reception were very helpful. The bustling centre of town is about 20 minutes walk away along a beautiful promenade. The paid car parking at the hotel was invaluable, as parking in town is a nightmare. We didn't try the pool, but it looked lovely. Then the not so good points: The breakfast was very limited, the same each day, scrambled eggs and bacon the only hot options, plus slices of processed cheese and meat. We were B&B, so did not try the evening meal. The huge disappointment was our room (119). We had booked a Triple room with sea/pool view, but the view from our balcony was nothing like the beautiful photos on the Expedia website, The sea view was partial at best, the main view from 119 was the flat roof of the restaurant immediately below our balcony, the side of the adjacent balcony, (making it mainly in shade) and also into the rooms of the adjacent hotel. There was loud partying from here each night until 12:30am. As our room was above the kitchen, there was a sound of cooking before breakfast and dinner. The extractor fan pumped out onto our balcony, and condensation dripped onto shoes left out there. Luckily no harm done. We asked to be moved to a room on a higher floor, but the hotel was fully booked. Final point, whilst the room was spacious, everything was open to view, plenty of hanging space, but not a drawer anywhere. Such a disappointing hotel.

Very nice stuff in the reception. Room OK, view good, pool area good. All good, except for the girl at the bar thursday Oct. 2. She played crappy music - too loud. The clients around were aged between 65 and 75, and the noisy music were meant for people the same as the waitresses, and when people complained about it she got mad, telling (twice) "this is a bar" So. She played music for herself, not thinking/minding about the people sitting there. BAD!

Really good
