Hotel Cimbel

The best thing about this hotel is its location. Fabulous views in the sea and set between old and new towns. We booked a sea view room which was great but a family member had an ‘City view’ room which he described as ‘like a prison cell’, tiny and only one small window up very high. He requested to change but unfortunately the hotel was full. Don’t book these rooms. Our only complaint was the bars. Service was appalling. Constant queues as staff are just so slow and there are not enough of them and they clearly hate their job. We tended to go out because of this, The subbed rule I thought was great, nothing worse than subbed hoggers laying towels down, then disappearing for half the day. The lady at breakfast was the only exception. Outstanding at her job, friendly, professional, remembered all of our names. Wonderful asset to the hotel.

My nephew paid for us to stay here as a birthday treat for my wife. From the time of arrival until we left, it was amazing. We had a lovely room with a sea view. Very comfortable bed, kettle, tea, coffee, milk and water provided. A not too expensive mini bar. Beautiful bathroom with soap shampoo and lotions. We also had the breakfast included. What can I say? It was amazing. It was buffet style including cereals, cheese and cold meats, hot food including bacon sausage egg etc fruit juices, tea and coffee, hot chocolate. Really good. Excellent staff who were very polite and helpful. No fuss checking in/out. I 100% recommend this hotel and will be visiting again later this year.

Have been lucky enough to stay here twice. Beautiful rooms, we had our mini bar refreshed daily and a great wrap around balcony,great service, awesome bathrooms, the pool is lovely as is the pool bar and you can't get much closer to the beach. Worth every penny
