Generally a nice resort for families, would have preferred an adult only section and pool. Coffee and tea were from a machine vs fresh and were only available at breakfast unless you went to bar to obtain. No coffee maker in room. Drinks were self serve, would have been nice to have it served.

Stayed here with my best friend as part of a grad celebration trip and loved it. The food is absolutely incredible-- so many options, all of great quality! Was concerned when I found out even the "restaurants" that you need to reserve at are buffet style, but these are truly the best buffets I've ever seen. There are taps of beer, wine, sometimes sangria, water, and soft drinks you can almost always access, and we loved the reusable water bottles they gave us at the start. The bars were great, too. I thought that it would have direct access to a boardwalk to the beach, but you need to walk around the building to reach a small beach and a few blocks to the nearest large one. There's a lot of loud kid-oriented programming from 3:30ish-5, and in the evenings there are often concerts or karaoke (which is a fun time!) until around 10. Couldn't hear the kids stuff from our first floor room but the evening music was definitely loud. Never a huge problem, though. Overall, such a great place to relax and make the most of all-inclusive amenities!!!

Extremely well run hotel

Found this hotel to be exceptionally well run. Although very busy, there was never a problem in finding a table for our group of 8 for meals. The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the level of cleanliness was excellent. The choice of food for every meal was really extensive and the quality very good. Would definitely recommend for families.

Check in and check out was very smooth. All staff were very friendly and went above and beyond to make sure that we had a lovely stay. Rooms and facilities were very clean. The beach was walkable down the cliff and that provide =d much needed exercise especially after the irresistible food which we was provided in all restaurants within the hotel. Wonderful stay and will definitely go back!

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Positives - very clean rooms, oriental and Mediterranean restaurants make a change from the main dining area and not limited to how many times you can use them. Safe in the room is great. Negatives - loungers could be cleaned. The oriental restaurant is closed on Sundays and Mondays. The pools are freezing cold. The lower ground spa pool and jacuzzi are also very cold. In my opinion for what we pay we should get heated pools. Entertainment in the M bar is good but repeated so much that it’s too much. I would expect the same stuff for each week but in two weeks I heard all of the same stuff at least 6 times, likely more. At every meal they take your room number and how many are dining and I can’t think of why. It’s all inclusive so this makes no sense to me, but maybe they have their own reasons. Overall a nice place but wouldn’t go again. I’ve had much better experiences at other all inclusives. There are two beaches, the smaller one about 5-8mins walk and 126 steps to the large one which is beautiful. Vilamora Marina is lovely and a 10-15min walk to the beautiful beach which is stunning with bars and places to eat, amazing actually.
