Ok then, for what its worth here's my take on it.
Been a few times now mostly on lad's weekends. And off there again next week for 7 nights.
I stayed in the Hellios last year, the rooms are good as are the facilities, the Brits in the hotel were in the minority but that's not always a bad thing.
Wasn't overly impressed with the food at the hotel but it wan't bad, we preferred to go to the White Lion on the beach front for Breakfast.
The location is fantastic if you want the main strip as it it pretty much 300 yards away but you don't get the noise or the hustle an bussle.
As a family holiday i wouldn't recommend it as there doesn't seem much there to occupy the kids.
If you are going for a break with the missus and some friends then it's good and there are some nice places to eat and drink especially in the Old town.
If you are going on the piss with your mates and are just after a good laugh then you can't beat it, start in the Old Town and then get to the strip around 11.
Like everywhere there are people who go over the top and you will find trouble if you go looking for it, if you like live music then you have a massive choice but i would recommend getting down to Jailhouse Rock to watch Carnaby Street, all Madness, the Jam, Oasis etc.. Morgans Tavern or ( Neptunes if you watch Benidorm on the TV ) as always good for a night out as well.
Basically whatever you want you will find, go with an open mind and enjoy yourself.
