"Lovely hotel! Friendly and helpful staff. We had a fantastic room - think it was a rooftop studio (?). Modern room with kitchen area (microwave, kettle, toaster and dishwasher). Nice balcony with table and chairs, loungers and egg chair. Clean. Small outdoor pool and sitting area. Great location…..few minutes walk to centre. Would definitely return for another stay!"

"Good clean basic hotel with a nice small pool. Near the airport but not easily accessible. Taxis don’t want to go the short distance so charge accordingly (€20 at night) Not an easy walk with luggage through a car park and across a busy road."

"A great all round stay. The staff are lovely and all talk English. The room was clean and the air conditioning helped it stay cool. I spent most of the time by the pool but it looks out over the beach. They have their own bit of beach where you can hire towels and beds for the day."

Aquashow Park Hotel

Aquashow Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"This place was great. The staff were super friendly. The Hotel was perfect location to reach everything we wanted to reach. We had a rental car which opened us to explore what the local scene had to offer. Beaches, Night markets, Supermarkets, Late night local Ice creams shops, Festivals, the lot! Underground parking was excellent at keeping the car cool. Rental towels (10 euro Cash deposit each) were very convenient as we were travelling very light. The Aqua Park was great fun. Be sure to check your child's height. 140cm + gets you full access to everything. Sub 120cm excludes some of the rollercoasters and big slides. Sub 110cm excludes a lot of the slides. Only a few Kiddy slides left to explore. A quick 5 min walk to the park. Wrist bands get you straight it. You will have to leave your stuff unattended if you plan on moving around the park as a family. Or you can rent a locker for 10euro per day. But everyone leaves their stuff on the grassed area and there seems to be a level of trust amongst everyone. We left our towels, phones and flip flops and never had anything missing."

"A great experience except when checking out. I had paid my bill the evening before and when leaving the keys back on the next morning was made to feel like I was trying to escape without paying by the nighttime reception person I had to find my payment details from evening before to prove payment. Surely this should have been noted on the computer. It left a very poor impression on what had been an excellent trip"
