Breakfast was good but could be a little chaotic at busy times. Would prefer more non-buffet options at lunchtime (the bar does have a small but acceptable menu). Loved the golf, table tennis, chess, entertainment (all free). Rooms were very good & clean. Parking could be a bit tricky to find a space. Not impossible- just could take a while. Staff all very helpful in all areas. Pool areas were good - but outdoor pools were cold (end of May/early June). Overall, good value and somewhere I’d recommend to friends… but probably wouldn’t return because I prefer to visit restaurants outside the hotel rather than all-in experience.

Nice staff, good pool facilities. A bit dated on the dining and bedroom facilities but well maintained. Location is a beautiful view and easy access to beaches and about a 15minute Mediterranean walk to restaurants. Two issues need addressing: 1) poor wifi that is throttled and denies streaming 2) gym was mediocre and did not have any ventilation…but I was happy to have it!

Disappointed
Was massively disappointed by the service. We felt cheated by the prices at the hotel for very mediocre food and drink. Seems you are ok if you are all inclusive but we were not and made to feel priced out of using the hotel facilities.

Hotel is really clean and well looked after but we booked an accessible room which when we got there was informed there none available. We tried to get the wheelchair through the bathroom door but it just didn’t fit - as my stepdaughter is unable to stand we had to take her home to her mum that same day. We did book last minute but the hotel should have contacted us to advise us they didn’t have the room available and we would have cancelled

Inte familjevänligt
Marknadsför sig familjevänligt, det är det inte.. Orkar inte skriva allting, personalen var trevlig men ledningen måste ge personalen bättre förutsättningar för att göra ett bättre jobb. Orkar inte skriva allt, men ett par exempel. Låna en vinöppnare till rummet, fanns inte och går inte, utan man får ta med sig vinflaskan till baren så får de öppna där. Äta något vid poolen? Typ pommes eller något litet till barnen, nej det går inte, utan då ska man hasa med sig hela familjen och äta buffé inomhus. Finns fler saker att anmärka gällande familjevänlighet..
