Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.
Overall alright nothing flash Pools are really nice although people reserve the longer very quick! Not too loud when we went or busy which was good I would say if your a picky eater don’t go all inclusive it’s very repetitive Drinks are ok nothing flash Do have to pay for certain cocktails Don’t go to this hotel if you have mobility issues! Very hilly and steep Although this seems like a bad review it’s an alright hotel not overall bad but I think I just expected more from a 4 star!
We have booked a group holiday and after reading some comments we had a few doubts. We have found the resort wonderful, the rooms are spacious and well maintained, the pools are clean and with lots of sun beds, the communal areas are nicely decorated. Food and drinks wise compared to other places we have been don’t have as much variety, however there are plenty of things to choose from. All the staff are very nice and polite, the room cleaning service is daily. There is a large, clean sandy beach across the road from the resort, about 15 minutes walk or you can choose the hotel service drop off twice a day. Price wise we found this booking very affordable. Overall we recommend this hotel and have been very happy with everything.
Weeks stay ruined by smoking allowed everywhere outside, including around partially enclosed children's entertainment area.
Rooms not as described and in need of repairs (broken lights in both rooms, majority of tiles cracked/lose, one in my room could pinch a foot and split it open if stepped on wrong)
Can hear everything in the rooms
Door handle broke could not use the adjoining room as paid for
Food was poor, lacked taste and no allergen concerns most things have no info on what they are and zero have ingredients - ended up going hungry or having stomach issues most days and spent money to eat elsewhere some nights just to get a decent meal
Charged for drinks that you are told are free
Pool is noisy and you are packed in like sardines, couldnt use it a single day of the 11
Hotel is not close to the beach you have to walk almost 15 minutes to get to the entrance (directly outside the hotel - after walking down 6 flights of stairs - is a do not enter/disturb zone dor wildlife), 10 if you are okay with rocks
Watersports is actually around a 30/40 minute walk from the hotel
Despite them claiming a policy against reserving beds at the pool everyone does it and the hotel do nothing about it
WiFi is pretty much non existent, you only get it in the reception (not even within the hotel you have to be in the reception for it to work properly) so they lie on the website when it says you get free wifi in your rooms
All entertainment (limited already) is targeted at children including the 'adults only' as they share the entertainment (and the pool) but have not been able to really experience any of the later entertainment as the space is too small and there are only maybe 40 seats in the area and then everyone is squished together standing
The same drinks are different prices (by a large margin) depending on what bar you visit
Someone trying to use a key card to enter my room at 1030pm, only reason they couldn't get in was because I locked the door - huge safety concern and had me scared to sleep as they were persistent
Bar staff all positive experiences
Reception largely positive, one guy from adults side was slightly rude when went to discuss issues with room and ask about potentially switching over to that side of the hotel depending on the costs. Hugo on playa reception was lovely.
Restaurant staff in main buffet - vast majority very rude, odd few young men and women that were polite and pleasant but the rest were not - were shamed one evening about having an apple juice when it is included in the half board drinks and tried to be charged for half of a less than half pint glass (€3.50) very loudly - i actually ended up not eating or drinking anything that evening because of this as I did not feel comfortable and just sat in silence, evening completely ruined and when we asked for management to complain were sent on a whild goose chase as they ping ponged us around until we just went to reception to complain and be told there was no management in that evening.
Housekeeping - lovely ladies and wonderful work rooms always spotless
I will start with the positives: *Food was amazing - good selection from starter to dessert
*the pool was suitable for all swimming ability
Negatives: “ The whole hotel could do with repainting and a lot of maintenance work especially in the rooms, tiles round the pools and pavements just everywhere! *we had stayed in the hotel a few years back and was able to request a kettle via the app. Now this is not possible as it’s only for premium guests - this should be clear on the app, and in my view everyone should have the option to request for a kettle.
*We had some photos taken but unable to buy them as the photographers were only taking cash (euros) - no option to pay by card
