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!

Just returned from a weeks hols in October 2025, just my and son and a I. Hotels remote, but beautiful. In fairness it was better than good, very good even, just not quite 5 stars. Not many brits here, good or bad make your own mind up. But I would recommend learning sone spanish. Its definitely alpreciated. Buffet food was good, plenty to choose. And plenty of booze too. Would defo recommend to families, couples and anyone else for that matter. To the staff thank you for working hard. And to the 2 pensioners scrapping in the bingo hall. Naughty boys!!

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.

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.

Pros:Beautiful location, spacious rooms and amazing swimming pools (infinity and lazy river). Hotel offers stunning bay views even in 'partial sea view' rooms. All places clean with exotic plants and tropical plants, excellent and very well maintain.Spa facilities very pleasant with nice and welcoming staff. Overall gardens, cliff top location and swimming pools made our stay worth-while. Cons:Food very average, repetitive and tasteless, some seafood, pastas, occassional international dishes - choice limited overall - much below any 4 star hotels we visited before. Meats hard or overcooked, salads very limited. Snack bar very limited - some basic crisps, icecream and peanuts on offer, drinks ok however coctails need a supplement paid. Evening entertainment far from desired, only flamenco show was interesting. Staff speak very basic English, so sometimes communication was tricky. Service feels very impersonal. No medical staff or support on-site.

Das Personal ist super und absolut liebenswert. Schönes Hotel mit super Lage. Das Essen ist nicht Spitzenklasse, geht aber. Zur Halbpension bekommt man jetzt Getränke, dafür haben sie aber an der Bar etc. Ganz schön die Preise erhöht. Am Pool ist es wegen den französischen Animateuren ziemlich laut, den ganzen Tag läuft nervtötende Musik (vor allem jeden Tag das selbe TamTam). Das ist echt schade, wir gehen seit Jahren in dieses Hotel, dies hat sich leider nicht zum Vorteil entwickelt. Aber die Lage und das Hotel an sich machen das wieder wett.

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..
