Reviews
The hotel is not at all a 4 star hotel, everything being old and damaged. The air conditioning is barely working and the entire hotel is smelling like food during the meals time.
Even if it was suppose to be an ultra all inclussive service, all the drinks were from the machine and on top of that, the quality was doubtful as well.
On the main restaurant, the cakes and cookies were always warm instead of cold and most of the times people had to wait in order to enter the restaurant, due to the fact that there weren't enough tables for everyone.
But the worst experience by far with this hotel, is that both my wife and my 8 year old kid got infected with Salmonella, most likely from the Asian restaurant and they both had to stay in hospital for 5 days. During the entire vacation we only ate at the hotel so the probability to take the bacteria from somewhere else, is 0%.
Worst hotel we have ever been to.
