I thought that the hotel was in a great location, we had the Europa centre opposite the hotel and restaurants and bars.



This was great if you wanted a quiet evening or if this was your starting place for a night out.

We have recently returned from a weeks stay at the Babalu, party of three. And to be honest the brochure didn't do the place justice.



We had sunshine from sunrise to sunset as all the accommodation is South facing.

On being dropped off by the bus, the first view of the hotel was the reception which is small and reminded me of faulty towers. First impressions!!read more

We travelled midway through January and had a fantastic holiday.



We have stayed on the hill before at the neighbouring apartments, the Blue Star, but the Babalu came recommended and we were not disappointed.
