First and foremost this hotel is marketed as a 4 star hotel. Whilst it's a nice enough hotel in my opinion it does not warrant the 4 stars. A 3* rating would be far more fitting, and I echo other comments made on this site. The pool area is fantastic but you have got to get up pretty early in order to "reserve" your sun bed as most beds seem to be taken by around 10AM. Location wise you can't fault it. Bars and restaurants are less than 100 metres away and the harbour is about a 20 minute leisurely walk, or a very short cab ride. The resort itself has plenty of good restaurants and you can quite happily go for two weeks without ever eating in the same one twice. One site I have recently found while surfing is blaxidotcom. (www.blaxi.com) This contains around 80 pictures of the Aloe hotel and a resort guide with photos of all the bars and restaurants - Excellent.

The pool is fantastic, and the location of the hotel can not be faulted. Near enough the main resort to be off easy walking distance to the bars and restaurants but not right inside where noise can be a problem.
