A comfortable well-equipped property in a peaceful out-of-town position which shares extensive grounds and some facilities with lower rated sister properties. It was probably thought glamorous in its day but now looks rather tacky and old-fashioned, although it is a cut above the rest of the Verudela development. Popular with tour groups and conventions.

Interior

The interior is spacious with a garish 70s décor; a large partially wood panelled lobby has a tortoiseshell ceiling hung with gold lighting and faded looking bucket seats; an unremarkable bar is in one corner and a couple of shops and a rent a car office clutter up the edges. Steps lead down to the indoor pool and casino. A light smartly furnished buffet restaurant opens to an attractive terrace enjoying fine sea views. Other facilities include a red-walled taverna, coffee shop with patio and an airy breakfast room.

Rooms: 240

Grounds

A pleasant tiled pool area on a lower level overlooks the sea and has rows of loungers and a plain snack bar. Paths through attractive woodland lead through lawns to bathing terraces and a boat jetty.

Location
