The staff were very kind and helpful. The room was clean, though a little more dated that the photos show. We enjoyed our view of the beach from the balcony. The breakfast was great and I had a great complementary foot massage. I enjoyed relaxing by the pool upstairs, though you have to get there early to get a sunlounger as there are not many! One issue we did have though was unfortunately it was incredibly loud each night in our room. Even with the doors fully closed, we could hear loud bass music from a nearby club. It did disrupt our sleep somewhat. I paid extra for a beach view but was unaware of the extent of noise we would have to be subjected to each night. Just something you should consider when booking this room, particularly if you have children. Other than this, my friend and I had a great stay at the Mandila hotel.
