The room was really basic with few amenities or what you’d expect from a 4 star resort. No fan in the bathroom, no bin liners, cheap coffee/tea, no mini bar, bare minimum toiletries. Had to chase up housekeeping as they missed us, you can hear every voice on your floor, dirty room service left outside your door for half a day. If you don’t plan on spending much time in your room, this won’t be a p...

Brilliant service from Novotel staff (special thanks to Diana for taking care of us). The rooms are neat, clean and beautiful, beds are firm and comfy. Indoor and outdoor dining facilities. The swim up bar is a nice touch. Great location, walking distance to attractions. We didn't want to leave.

Dirty tiles and Filthy hairdryer and mould all over the ceiling. The shower dribbled out.. the good bits....

This is our second time staying here. It’s in a convenient location - everything was within a 10 minute walk. Room was clean and tidy. The pool is great with a swim up bar but you need to get there early as the lounge chairs and bean bags are taken fast so you’ll end up sitting on the ground. Food was good, they have a different special on every night. My biggest complaint and disappointment is th...
