Music was very loud and the food in the buffet was atrocious. The food wasn’t covered in the level lounge and the flies were all over the food. The hotel furniture and rooms are very tired. The staff were lovely and very helpful so much so we moved hotel! The sand flies and mosquitos were quite bad, plenty of deet needed!

Me and my family stayed at this resort for three days and the overall experiencing was good. Staff is very friendly every-time you ask any questions they are more than happy to answer. If you have kids this resort is for you, they have a children’s pool, children’s club and activities throughout the week. The food in general if your not a picky eater it’s good, they have the main buffet and three other restaurantes you can reserve for lunch/dinner.

I'm not a fan of resorts when I am on holiday but this was a very good experience. Cleanliness is the most important thing for me and the hotel was very clean, even the courtesy rooms. Buffett could do with some variety as there is a lot of pork. A map or tour of the grounds on arrival would prove beneficial so you know what the resort has available along with the entertainment itinerary.

Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023

4/10

The rooms are old furnished, with broken tiles and litteraly full of mosquitoes as there are no mosquitoes nets at the windows. The bathroom has a bath tub with a non-inviting colour and some mold and not even an handle for the hand-towel next to the sink. Very bad isolation as well. The food quality is really poor (a la carte gets a bit better, but not always). The staff is not well trained and gives continuously wrong information and directions. When at the beach, you get endlessly asked to buy souvenires and you can't really bathe in the sea because of the rocks. Not a 5 Stars Resort. A nightmare. Never again.
Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025

2/10

This is not a 5* hotel. It is very obvious that the hotel does not maintain a large proprotion of their facilities. I had to change rooms 3 times due to a balcony door that would not shut, no working phones in the room (which meant having to walk back and forth to reception in a massive resort) and general uncleanliness of the rooms (mold in the bathroom, and walls stained with squashed insects by previous guests). I also complained about my air conditioning blowing hit air which took more than 24hours to fix. The food options were very poor and some food items I was served were inedible. The poor service also extends to the staff, though some are polite on approach, they are very indifferent and issues are not sorted in a timely way. I would not stay here again. My stay was so poor I checked out early to stay in a different hotel.
Stayed 7 nights in Mar 2025

6/10

The service was a bit disappointing. The checkin was horrible, it took very long and I did not really get a lot of information along with the hotel documents. So I found out most of the stuff the next days. The reception always had long queues and you waited a long time to get a question answered. Also it seemed that staff at the reception always had to call someone to get info or an approval. The hotel definitely looks like it needs some maintenance. For this price, I was disappointed.
Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2024

We booked and paid a hotel room for 3 persons from 24-25/11 through hotels.com and even though we had a booking confirmation, the receptionist told us that there were no rooms available. So we were standing late night without a place to sleep!. Unacceptable breach of trust and they failed to take just the slightest responsibility for their errors. Stay away! Do not put any trust in these people.
Stayed 1 night in Nov 2024

8/10

In general was a really good experience, our room was nearby the pool ans the restaurant. We couldn't enjoy the A la Carte restaurants for dinner as they were fully booked, we were hiven the lunch option but we didn't take it. The food in the buffet we really good and the variety from lical food to international cuisine. Only issue was the towels in the room, the moment they take it to replace you suffer to get new ones has they only bring it by dinner time, and if you were lucky to get one. I had to call housekeeping 3 times on the same night to get one.
