Amazing hotel. Already 2nd time staying here. Front office team is amazing. They are very welcoming, friendly, professional. Huge thank you for such efforts to accommodate us in our room earlier. Room is huge, 2 rooms, 2 bathrooms, balcony, spacius,clean. Amazing service from housekeeping keeping our room clean. Loved the amenities in bathroom with branded L'Occitane products. Restaurant is great, food is super delicious, big varieties of different dishes. Loved the services at restaurant, all the staff is super attentive. 2 pools, plenty of space to stay around even if the hotel is fully booked. Good food at the snack bar by the pool. Loved the 'juice of the day', of course cocktails. Spa is good, worth to visit. Overall our stay was amazing, coming vack next year.

Great stay, would say it’s a 4 star over a 5 star. There was a few attention to detail that were overlooked. Toilet by the pool messy and out of toilet roll, not checked regularly enough. Decking area in the pool bar needed jet washing. Some of the sun loungers needed an upgrade due to being stretched. It’s the little details that make Hotels 5 star. This was lacking a few of them. However overall a great Hotel, good location. Staff very good and all really friendly. Would have been nice to have been able to dine in both restaurants on the all inclusive even if you only offered one night in the Tapas restaurant so you could try it. Rooms are ready for an upgrade but entrance area and restaurant are lovely. Worth a visit!

The hotel looks lovely online and for some this may be an exceptional option but for us, it was an unfortunate mistake. Upon arrival, the room had no power and maintenance needed to troubleshoot the issue. The pool was exceptionally cold. The hotel is lacking of signage to help find the way around. The beach is a hike and not as close as advertised. The beach is mostly seaweed with very little useable area. All inclusive means all things are included except what they exclude such as the sit down restaurant, drinks that aren’t in there all inclusive list, the golf simulator is 40 euro extra per person. The bar has no frozen drinks. No washcloths available for showering (which is common in some EU countries). The hotel is quite dated. The elevators many times were not working and when they were the buttons take a lot of force to engage. It’s very noisy on the 1st floor above the restaurant until at least 11pm as they cleanup and slide chairs across the floor. No eating food around the pool. As I say, this may be perfectly fine for some but comparing to many hotels we have visited, this is not for us and we can’t recommend.

We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Positives: good location, great spacious rooms in the sea view suite, fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shuttle runs to town free of charge. Only negatives are: Not all-inclusive, only small selection of standard drinks and 2/3 cocktails. Paid entry into a small indoor pool, 4 person hot tub and sauna facilities. Gym is tiny but modern, fits about 2/3 people. A little smell in the rooms we believe from drains, although other than that super clean and smells lovely in hallways. Relatively expensive massages for what you get.
