Came to the Sheraton for some winter sun and a weeks relaxation after Christmas. The hotel is a €20 taxi ride from the airport and takes around 20 minutes. Once at the hotel you are met by friendly reception staff, who are efficient and cannot do enough for you. Acknowledgment was made of our Bonvoy Status, which was greatly appreciated. Once checked in we were offered a cool drink of juice or bubbles as a welcome to the hotel. We were appointed a Seaview deluxe room on the fourth floor, before going here I did not appreciate how big the hotel was, but it is a large property. The room was large, being fully tiled with a typical décor of the region and it was spotless. The bathroom has separated sink area, toilet/bidet and bath shower area, which was again fully tiled. The whole room was clean with well-appointed and maintained décor and furnishings. We had a king bed and the linen and mattress were extremely comfortable leading to many nights enjoyable rest. The room had a large balcony with great views over the bay and was furnished with good quality chairs and table, to relax in for your morning coffee and afternoon peppermint tea!! Once we had settled into to our new abode for the next seven nights, a knock came at the door and we were presented with an ice-cold bottle of bubbles and a plate of macaroons as a complementary welcome gift. Which was a generous gesture. Breakfast was a buffet offering and there was so much choice, I feel for the number of people staying at the hotel the staff manage it really well. When there are issues, which will always occur with a hotel this size, the management and staff appear to address it and you do not see the issue again. All the restaurant staff could not do enough for you. The food is of excellent quality and there are some lovely breads, meats, cereals etc. Also, they do a vast hot plate section if you so wish it. As the food choice in the resort area was not to our choice and those that possibly were had closed for a holiday break, we ate most nights in the hotel buffet. Again, the selection was good ranging from themed evenings, with fresh crab, prawns, oysters, fish, meat and also selected hot pre prepared food. It was nice to have your meat or fish freshly cooked and accompanied by some fresh salad or cooked vegetables. For mass catering the food quality was exceptional. The local wines were nice too and reasonably priced for the range of hotel. The hotel is ideally located on a flat promenade within gated grounds that are immaculately maintained. There is a sandy beach across the path from the hotel, which was great for small children if the pools and activities within the hotel become too boring for them. During our visit there were no problems finding a spare lounger as there are a lot around the pools, however, you still get the “towel brigade” who feel they have to select their own by throwing down a towel and then not using it for hours!
