2 week stay
Lovely hotel , well equipped for small children activities. Kids pool perfect for all ages and beach easy to get too. The staff are very friendly and helpful both at room service and around the hotel. I am gluten free and i was well catered for Manos in the restaurant met me every morning and evening with delicious GF goodies. The rooms are a generous size for a family of 4 and are very clean and comfortable. We had a lovely two weeks stay here and would return. Only negative comment is it is on the flight path for planes landing at the airport

Ok
Just returned from a 10 night stay and although we enjoyed our holiday the hotel was not quite up to what we were expecting after reading the reviews we were expecting better. Firstly the poistives, Good location next to the beach, The very friendly helpful staff and Johnny from the entertainment team. Things that weren’t so great, The pool doesn’t open till 10am and closes around 5.30-6.00pm so if you enjoy a morning swim then that is off the cards and for some reason the pool had turned a awful green colour come the end of our holiday and the baby pool was closed for some reason? The hotel has a large number of french guests and a lot of the entertainment going on is in French so we couldn’t get involved. The limited nightly entertainment finishes at 10.00pm and there isn’t much to do after that so pack some cards or games. I would avoid the toilets down by the mini golf as they are in need of attention. I personally wouldn't rate this a four star hotel.

My experience
We stayed at the hotel for a week and had a great time. Everything was great – the room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the food was delicious with plenty of choice.
The animation team was also amazing, especially I want to mention Anna and Paula, who were absolutely amazing and did a fantastic job. We really enjoyed our holiday and would definitely recommend this hotel!

Dissappinted stay.
We stayed at this hotel as a family of four in August, and unfortunately, we came away feeling quite disappointed. We booked the hotel based on the many positive reviews, but sadly it didn’t live up to our expectations.
The hotel was extremely busy and crowded during our stay, particularly around the pools. Unfortunately, the main swimming pool turned green while we were there, so we didn’t feel comfortable or safe using it. The smaller pool looked blue and appeared to be fine, however it still ended up staining our swimwear green. Towards the end of the holiday, my daughter also developed an ear infection, although I obviously cannot say for certain whether this was connected to the pool.
We also had an issue with ants in our room, including inside the wardrobe. The rooms themselves are quite basic, and the bed was very uncomfortable. Another issue was the heat throughout the hotel. The bar, dining area and other communal areas were extremely hot, and there didn’t appear to be any effective air conditioning, which made it uncomfortable at times.
We also struggled with the food. We found the choice quite limited and had difficulty finding things we enjoyed eating. The snack bar in particular seemed to serve the same food every day, which became repetitive during our stay.
The biggest positive for us was the entertainment team. They worked incredibly hard to get both adults and children involved and made a real effort to create a fun atmosphere. The staff in general were also very friendly and pleasant.
Overall, we were disappointed with our stay and personally wouldn’t recommend this hotel. There were some positives, particularly the friendly staff and entertainment team, but unfortunately, the issues we experienced outweighed them.
