We stayed 5 days for my friends birthday and to be honest, I was amazed with the friendly staff. Stephane, Sandra, Jose, among others, they were so lovely, helpful, fun and attentive at all times. The rooms are so specious, comfy and the facilities in the hotel are so good that you don’t really want to leave the place. Food is so tasty and I strongly recommend to go all inclusive. The only thing I didn’t like is that the pools have no heater so they were kinda of cold to enjoy.

First off this is a 3* hotel. I don't know why they try and claim it's 4, it's really not and they don't charge 4* pricing. The rooms are fine but get very stuffy, the Aircon doesn't work and the room smells often of sewage. They do get ants and cockroaches, probably because the room cleaning is minimal, only seem to make the beds and fold of your damp towels, they clearly weren't wiping surfaces or cleaning the floor during our stay. Housekeeping also left our door open one day when they didn't shut it properly and walked in without knocking when we had the do not disturb sign on the door. The hotel has decent facilities however they're not particularly well looked after. There were 2 jacuzzis however one was cold and the other was just warm, certainly not hot. They also had a sign next to them saying you had to book it the day before. The all inclusive package is ok but there is a lot not included in it, and everything seems to come with an extra charge or at least a cash deposit. The food was ok, what you expect from a 3* all inclusive. Most of it was clearly labelled including allergens so that was good to see. Finally, there is no point booking direct. Everything sold as a benefit to booking direct was a lie. No early or late check out available (in the middle of January!) and free pool towels which is actually a €10 deposit that anyone can use.

Lovely stay here, lots of good things to say about the holiday. Food was great - a really nice selection each lunch/dinner with a decent spread for breakfast as well. Particularly liked how some segments of the kitchen were open so you could see bits being cooked fresh. Options did change each day, so there was lots to try if you wanted to diversify a bit, with there always being safe foods like chips and pasta if not. Staff in the dining area were attentive and pleasant which is always a bonus. Drinks were what you'd expect from an all inclusive, with beers, wines, soft drinks and a "cocktail of the day" included with a rotation of popular options. The ecocups worked really well for the pool area, never having to worry about glass or them being absolutely everywhere. The activities particularly during the afternoon were really good fun. Big shout out to Santos and Marina from the entertainment team who managed to bring a lot of energy to the activities. Some of the other members of the team were a bit less animated which did make some of the other bits of the entertainment a bit dry, but for the most part the other guests made up for it. All in all, it was a lovely week and a would definitely come back again! Having read some of the other reviews, it definitely seems to be a place to go a bit out of the main summer season; first week of October has been lovely and a good balance between enough still going on without the place being too crowded.

Check in guy was super pleasant and room was adequate, not sure why its superior and wouldn't want anything less salubrious. Aircon has been deactivated so the room get very stuffy. Safe costs extra. They want to charge to park your hire car in the neigh on empty car park and forced me to reverse onto the main road despite letting me in twice the day before without a word. Parked on the road and staying there, is a few metres. Food is pretty good in the main restraunt, lots of fish and meat to choose from as well as pastas, salads etc. Evening entertainment is basic but its not too far into town. Overall reasonable value.
