I’ll not repeat all the great place, great staff comments. Take that as read. Rooms Emailed the hotel a couple of months before our stay to request a specific block. They could not promise but made a note against our booking. We were located exactly where we wanted. Block 42 on the second floor. Sun all day on the great balcony and as far away as possible from the Cuphea to avoid the noise of the bands at night. Not totally avoidable but this is your best chance. If you can live with the noise, or are likely to be in the Cuphea until the shows end (23:30ish) then block 46 is your best bet. Sun all day and a view of the beach/ocean. Block 41 similar benefits to 42, blocks 43, 44 and 45 have morning sun only. Just as an observation, really couldn’t see the advantage in the Lake House suites. Just afternoon sun for them and a little more privacy, but it’s a helluva jump in price for having a waiter on tap (which by the way everyone on the sun beds around the pool pretty much had all day anyway). But, each to their own. Bars Drinks at pool bar and Cuphea I suspect, are watered down to some extent. Never really got a kick from any of them and didn’t witness any loud/rowdy behaviour. I don’t believe that was completely due to it being a more refined class of customer 😁. Not a complaint, just an observation. Lobby bar was definitely a step up in quality drinks wise and the Balkon for drink(18:00 - 24:00) even better. We ventured next door a few times at night and the drinks at The Boardwalk and the bar by the adult pool were again noticeably watered down. If you like a pale ale/IPA then the Fredricks IPA (bottled beer) is a nice drop. It’s a bit hit and miss if they have it at certain bars. They always needed to fetch it from somewhere else when I ordered it with dinner. Food If you order from the menu at breakfast, then wait until you have finished anything you have from the buffet, otherwise it’ll most likely arrive before you have finished your cereal or whatever. Balkon for breakfast is fab, just gotta like cheese. If you fancy all 3 starters, or mains for that matter as a couple, then order them. It’s not a problem, or unusual Cuphea evening menu is also available at lunch. Coffee and cakes from the lobby bar in the afternoon are a must. You can ask for chocolates as a takeaway. Quite a few are coming home with us😁 Pool The biggest we’ve ever experienced. Coolish at first, but had way worse. Waiters are round at least every 30 minutes. Cool boxes have 2 bottles of Effes, 2 still water and 2 sparkling. No need to towel save sun beds. Always loads to spare, but if it’s your thing knock yourselves out. Beach Average. Need shoes to get in the sea ideally. Loads of loungers on the beach. Didn’t bother with cabanas but they looked nice enough. Seen a few moans about it being a public beach in front of them. It may be, but it’s such a small ***** before the sea, I couldn’t envisage anyone using it. Out and about Got a Dolmus from the stop (ma
