The Valamar Argosy Hotel, lovely hotel,stunning views, we had quite a small room but it was nice and clean, no balcony which was a shame and our view was the car park (must remember to upgrade next time). We were bed and breakfast but you can go half board or full board, the restaurant and food each evening is very good, we ate here a few nights and was never disappointed, breakfast is also great and has a large choice. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Although the towels are a little old and worn, could do with an update. Evening entertainment was good and enjoyed the music in the bar area every evening. Bar staff also lovely guys. Majority of staff were friendly, however we did have a couple of incidents and other people had the same, the first was the manager of the restaurant in the morning, they put teapots out but seem to miss the teapot lids when we asked she went to a draw got one out and didn’t put any on the side for anyone else, which I thought was very strange, they also do not supply little milk jugs for the teapots which again is very strange, we watched several people over the course of our visit struggle with cups and glasses of milk trying to pour a little in there cups and at the same time spilling it everywhere. The other thing was the grill at lunch time, they only seemed to offer large meals on the menu, no paninis, sandwiches, not everyone wants a large pizza or pasta for lunch, something light would have been good. Plus prices were quite steep. The other thing was the pool area, the guys who provide the towels and umbrellas were quite rude on a few occasions, they refused an umbrella one day until I pointed out that I am very pale and need protection (should I have to explain this, no I don’t think I should) one of the chaps one day asked my husband if he was too hot, again my husband had to explain that I needed it, why are you even asking these questions and in a manner that appears unnecessary. Sun beds very basic and uncomfortable for a 4 star hotel I think.
