The entrance and lobby at this hotel are simply gorgeous, a real attention to detail makes this a welcoming environment. The rooms are spacious and clean, and although the balconies are small, they do provide a lovely view. The solarium area and sunbathing spaces are ample and both pools were refreshing. The pool bar has lots of options and a nice food menu. Overall, having stayed in 5 or 6 hotels in the vicinity, Hotel Alay has proved to be my favourite and actually great value for money too.

Great place!

Had a great time. Although we were only there 1 night. We were able to check in early and given access to our room! The man on reception was lovely and welcoming! hotel was spotless and all staff were friendly. Cant fault anything. Check out was 12 but were able to book a time slot for a room to have a shower which included towels and toiletries free of charge which was fabulous as we had a late evening flight! Would definitely recommend this hotel!

It was in a great location. Close to tons of bars and restaurants. Close to the beach and marina. Staff were all lovely and very helpful. Rueben at the front desk was extremely polite and helpful. The bartender and servers were all professional. Pool areas were clean but we noticed the out side and surrounding walkways needed to have a good clean.

Clean modern hotel. Great location. Refreshing to stay in a hotel where sun beds were readily available whatever the time of day! Only slight problem was lack of storage space in the rooms. There were no drawers and limited shelf space. Friendly staff, good food and a pleasant snack bar. The nightly discos were held outside and were great fun. We would not hesitate to return.

The hotel, staff and food were very good. The choice of breakfast and evening meal were excellent, staff were helpful and friendly and there was entertainment most evenings. I would not hesitate to visit again. I was however extremely disappointed that we had not been notified of the building works which our balcony looked straight onto, including 2 huge cranes. It looks like either a hotel or apartments are being built next door. Visitors who booked directly with the hotel were notified of the building work prior to check in. When we entered our deluxe room it was lovely, but a big disappointment when we saw the view. We should have been notified prior to check in.

Great location but needs work

We stayed for 11 nights for a relaxing holiday. The hotel was comfy and the reception staff very friendly. The bedrooms were modern however had little storage which made hanging up clothes difficult when staying for longer than 5 nights. The bathroom and shower were ok however there was mould on the silicone and on both shower heads. I cleaned the shower with a towel however I believe this should be done by the hotel daily. The pools were good and there were enough beds over the 3 levels. The pools however also were mouldy and require attention. Hotel bar reasonable priced with a great selection of drinks
