The hotel room was far too hot on an upper floor. Fan was provided but didn’t do much. Standard was as expected given the price. You get what you pay for.

Beautiful outdoor pool area, nice and attentive staff. Can’t fault them at any stage from check in to meal times. Jacuzzi/indoor pool was nice and relaxing. Family suite booked, listing does state it is for up to four adults. Should probably be 2 adults and 2 children. Bunk beds provided are extremely uncomfortable and loud. Would suggest mattress toppers covers if possible. You can feel every bar on the bed frame through the mattress and a loud crunching metal sound when anybody moves. Whereas the double was lovely and comfortable and the two bathrooms a great bonus. Would suggest if more than two adults sharing one night would probably be the maximum stay.

3 night family break

I stayed here on all-inclusive for 2 nights with my 6-year-old. We extended our stay by a night, we were having such a nice break. The food was good, and the bar was well stocked. We loved the pools, and the kid's entertainment was good fun for my girl every night. We made good use of the tram/bus passes that were included as well! The staff throughout the hotel were the real highlight! From reception to the restaurant/bar and housekeeping, everybody we encountered was friendly, polite, and helpful! Special shout out to Jess, Luke, and Jonathan, who did lots to our stay relaxing and comfortable. Thank you all! Big thanks to those who's name I didn't catch. We'll be visiting again for sure!!
