We booked Lemon and Soul Hotel as part of a Jet2 package, and overall it proved to be a practical and well-located base for our stay, though with some important caveats. The location is excellent. The hotel is approximately 50 metres from the beach and surrounded by a wide choice of restaurants, cafés, and bars, making it very convenient for dining and getting around. For guests with mobility issues, this is a particularly good choice, as the surrounding area is flat and easily accessible. The hotel itself is adequate rather than luxurious. We would not recommend booking the breakfast option for the duration of your stay, as the breakfast offering is exactly the same every day. While it is perfectly acceptable for a one-off or short stay, it quickly becomes repetitive if taken daily. Initially, we stayed in a basic room, which we found to be quite claustrophobic. After the first night, we requested an upgrade and paid approximately £22 per day extra for a room with a small balcony (not the terrace option). This significantly improved our stay. The upgraded room was far more comfortable and included additional amenities such as a microwave, hot plates for cooking, and a proper fridge, all of which added real convenience. One small but notable point: our original room contained what was described as a “mini-bar fridge,” which we later discovered does not actually keep items cold — it simply prevents them from getting warm. As a result, essentials such as milk had to be replenished every couple of days, which was inconvenient and not something we were aware of in advance. The upstairs solarium was a pleasant feature and offered a quiet, sheltered area away from the wind. However, it is worth noting that although a jacuzzi is advertised as being available, it was out of action during our stay. If access to a jacuzzi is an important factor when choosing this hotel, it would be advisable to contact the hotel directly in advance to confirm whether it is operational. On arrival, guests should also be aware that entry to the hotel requires you to wave your hand over a control panel located to the right of the entrance door — not immediately obvious, but straightforward once you know. In summary, Lemon and Soul Hotel is very much fit for purpose. Its main strength is its excellent location, but the basic rooms are extremely basic and may not suit everyone. We would stay here again, but only if booking a room with a balcony, which makes a noticeable difference to comfort and overall enjoyment.

“Great Location & Very Clean”

This hotel is bright cheery and in a great position close to the beach. Catering for lunch & breakfast is in the building next door but personally I never took advantage of that.

This hotel is bright cheery and in a great position close to the beach. Catering for lunch & breakfast is in the building next door but personally I never took advantage of that. I did use the rooftop solarium in between rainfalls which was great. The hotel was spotlessly clean. There are a couple of drawbacks to the hotel though. My room had a window but it looked directly into a building opposite, it was very difficult to determine if it was sunny, cloudy or raining. That was a bit awkward as I had all of those weathers during my stay. The other concern is without any outdoor space, drying things was not very easy. Overall it was value for money & fit for purpose.
