TL;DR
Even-numbered rooms have a good view; odd-numbered rooms face construction. Ground floor even-numbered rooms have pool access instead of a balcony, but poolside rooms on the first floor can be very noisy.
What the community said
Rooms facing the main large pool (e.g. room 6088) are very noisy — noise comes both from the pool area and the nearby event tent.

Upgraded, larger pool-view rooms are located in a separate two-story building near the amphitheater/pool, with a garden view and a layout different from standard rooms.

Noise level depends on location: standard side rooms near the street are noisy; sea-view rooms hear evening entertainment but it stops exactly at 23:00; rooms above the kitchen/food station are quiet; rooms directly above the animation stage are noisier but only until 23:00.

In the second building, most rooms appear to have a partition dividing the space. Bathrooms have a clothesline along the wall. Even-numbered rooms have a pleasant view, while odd-numbered rooms face a construction site.
