The hotel has undergone an external transformation since we last stayed 6 years ago. Weddings at weekends have stopped (that's a good thing) and a new restaurant has been built. The food is fantastic, but the prices are sky high (La Vera Menu online). You are not allowed to take food or drink from outside into the hotel. We saw one couple getting searched for ‘contraband’. There were also several cases of people being charged for the use of the room mini bar when they claimed they hadn’t. Other review sites would seem to back this up as an ongoing ‘scam’ by the hotel. The rooms are very dated and are in desperate need of a refurbishment. Breakfast is basic, but you often share the dining area with the local stray cats! The hotel now seem to have a deal with local dentists, as about half of the guest were there for dental work, This isn’t an issue, but we saw a lot of bruised faces which can be a little disconcerting. The waiter staff are attentive and give good service around the pool area during the day. The pool aera is clean and presentable, but drink prices are expensive. Two Fanta and Two Sprite (250ml bottles) came to about £14. On our last day at checkout, we weren’t allowed to leave until an audit of the room had been undertaken. We had taken pictures of the room and minibar on arrival and departure. We had no issues.

Very good overall, nice restaurant and staff, but they charged us some drinks from the room fridge at the check out when we never drink them.
