3. This is sounding more negative than positive, but actually I would stay there again if they fixed the negatives - which would be easy for them to do, except for the noise factor.

9. All in all a very successful and relaxing break with just a couple of negative comments - although the hotel does have an associated restaurant/bar in Eladios the absence of a genuine hotel bar meant that we were not able to meet any of the other guests although this seems to be the way with the hotels on the beach front.
