Reviews
The rest of the hotel was a massive let down! The food choice in the restaurant was absolutely rubbish, hardly any choice and constant people just pushing in.
Supposed to be All Inclusive but alcohol isn’t included so you have to buy all your alcoholic drinks! Oh you do get a couple free beers or wines with lunch or tea! Neither of us drink beer or wine 🙈.
Half the staff were miserable, first hotel I’ve stayed at where they wouldn’t let you have your own mugs filled up with Pepsi/juice etc.
The hotel is full of young german lads and girls, the lads are constantly pissed, loud and annoying. Our room had groups of them around us who were screaming, singing, banging and partying till about 4-5am every night.
Twice we had altercations with people trying to take our sun beds
Would never stay here again! Like I said before the animation team made our stay enjoyable and we enjoyed their shows at night. They brightened up a horrible experience of this hotel.
The biggest clue it wasn’t gonna be a nice hotel was the fact that there is a police vehicle outside the hotel and police are frequently seen walking around the hotel.
It’s such a shame the hotel has been neglected, can see when it was first built it would’ve been really nice. The hotel doesn’t look like it’s had any maintenance done for years, why aren’t you doing yearly painting, repairs etc?
If you want to use other pools, you have to go to the different buildings, which is tricky because the key card rarely works at those entrances. Most of the time, we had to rely on someone else letting us in – quite inconvenient. As expected in resorts like this, loungers are often reserved early with towels.
There are several bars on site, but at least one bar per day didn’t have proper drinks available due to machine issues. On top of that, you’re required to pay a deposit (in cash) for a reusable cup, which they do not mention at check-in. So if you turn up without cash, you’ll have to trek back to your room – frustrating, especially in the heat.
The food was okay – nothing memorable, and the variety was quite limited. Alcohol is restricted to lunch and dinner in the restaurant only, which is understandable under local laws, but it does mean you cannot enjoy a cold drink while relaxing by the pool unless you’re willing to pay extra, making the ‘all-inclusive’ feel a bit pointless.
Room cleanliness was hit and miss. We found a black hair in the bathroom, a stain on the pillow, and the hand soap dispenser didn’t work.
Overall, it’s very much a 3-star hotel – and it shows. It’s quite noisy as there’s so many people. If you’re looking for a basic place to stay and do not mind a few inconveniences, it may be fine. Just manage your expectations.
Beds are comfy. And got a good nights sleep.
Location is at the top of a small hill. Also this is a complex, so there are several different hotel blocks. You may have a small walk to your block/room.
However, this is well explained by reception staff and you are given a small map of the complex and easy directions to get to your room.
Room rate does seem to fluctuate, so just check. But we found it very good value for money.
The reviews on here I feel are very harsh, we had a fantastic stay. Just do your research on the all inclusive rules and then you won’t have a surprise when you get there.
Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, plenty of pool areas and sun loungers.
Rooms are small and dated but that didn’t bother us at all, beds were very comfy. Walls are thin so you can hear doors when they open and close.
Food there was plenty of choice, dining area was very quickly cleaned and tables re played for next use.
Alcohol served with lunch and dinner, and recorded against your room number which was fine as after you had eaten we wasn’t too bothered about a drink.
Pool bars great selection of soft drinks, served promptly. Pay €1 for cup which gets returned and you get your €1 back. Alcoholic drinks are very reasonably priced much cheaper than drinking in town. €2 for the glass but again you get that back when you return it.
Beach is 10 minute walk at max. Stunning beach too.
All in all had a great holiday and would happily return again.
Where do I start? Stayed 7 nights for business. Food is incredibly terrible so don't bother with the "all inclusive". It's a scam!
Depending on which building they put you in, the air conditioning does not work. They gave me a portable fan for my stay. Yes, you read it right. A fan in a hotel room!
The Spanish staff are great. The Swiss staff which are mostly the managers are super rude.
The location and the prices are great if you don't mind all the above. Personally I will never ever return there nor would I recommend it to anyone.
Right now eDreams is looking into this and most likely I'll get some kind of reinbursement.
I understand the island has rules regarding alcohol,at hotel you can only have alcohol drinks during meals and only so many per person per day ,I get this, but you can't take your drink outside!! But you can go to bar outside and pay, where has the all inclusive gone ? Fumming
