Pretty much what you'd expect from an all inclusive. Staff was very nice and helpful. Locals are super friendly. Food is fresh and pretty good. Wide selection.

Our room was dated and could be at a better state. Beds were uncomfortable. Kids activity itinerary is unclear and was mainly aimed towards a large group of non-English speakers who attended the park on that week. According to reception, there's an app/website that lists all activities and allows booking the restaurants. This wasn't operational during our stay. Water park was closed due to a technical issue during the entire morning on the one day we went there. A/C in the room was broken. Despite a visit from a service technician this wasn't fixed.

We had really great rooms with the sea view, very spacy and clean. We travelled the whole days so I can not valuate the programmes organized by the hotel but the meal was very good and the staff was helpfull. We like the idea of Cat coffee.

The beach is very nice but also very small - the man must count with this fact and travel around. Or stay lying in the garden.

The resort and the facilities are very nice. The food is great in all restaurants. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The view is beautiful.

The rooms are old and have some issues so they need to be renovated because now they are like 2* hotel rooms.

Great Location. Clean. Friendly staff. Great variance of the buffet although missing some things which make a buffet great (e.g. real Nutella, real fresh juice) but knowing other buffets that is critic on a high level.

Too many people lying too close to each other. From good hotels in that class (of costs) I am used to get more space to separate from each other and find spare sunbeds during the whole day. I would suggest that every 1-2 hours hotel stuff should collect all towels and personal stuff from sunbeds which are not used for an hour. Would lead to much less sunbeds needed at all and one could use a sunbed when they need one. Music at the pools and restaurants - 10 songs from this summer's hit playlist on repeat - can be a pain after 2 days. 2 things missing for a perfect buffet in the morning: Real Nutella and fresh juices - apart from that the buffet gave enough choices for a week.

- the setting of the resort was very pleasant, the gardens were beautiful, a lot of hidden places - really great food in the main restaurant, different choices every day, restaurant staff excellent, the snacks were fine, too - good idea with whatsapp for communication with the reception ans the app for additional amenities - conditioner arrived within 5 minutes but bathrobes never arrived and for change of beach towels i needed to request 3 times. but still, good idea, i believe this will get better - very client-oriented behavior trying their best not to leave you with any negative experience about your stay - the aquapark and the deck with a bar - top! - i liked hotel’s approach to reserving sunbeds - i think we got a room upgrade but since i didn’t understand from the booking.com in which area of the resort our room was to be located, i can’t compare. thank you anyway, the view from our room was very nice - the price in may is amazing and totally worth it even though you never know what weather you’ll get. i’m not sure i’d say it’s worth the high season price

- the check in process was very messy with lack of communication - i didn’t like that people were smoking everywhere when it’s a family resort - i didn’t like that workers started digging in our garden during our stay - the beach is super small, the pools are really cold in may with little sunshine (we were not lucky with the weather), the indoor pool gets super crowded and the kids aren’t allowed to go to the only warm pool - the whirlpool - even in may there was a queue to be seated for dinner, not all the restaurants were open and not all adverstised animation actually happened (eg beach volleyball)

From the moment we arrived, we were incredibly well looked after. The staff were all so kind and helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Everything we needed was inside the hotel complex and we all managed to relax despite having a 3 year old with us. The beach, multiple pools, playground, baby area, waterpark and bars/restaurants kept us busy and entertained and what a beautiful view across the bay! Everything was clean and well maintained and the food was plentiful and tasty. I'd never gone all inclusive before and was pleasantly surprised by the range and quantity of food and drink on offer. We'd definitely come again as it was so convenient with small children.

Nothing big really. The bathroom was a bit dated and the bath plug didn't work but it was clean and functional.

We chose this resort because it had a wonderful sandy beach area for swimming and an included water park for the kids. Because the water park is private to the resort, the lines were very short even during our peak season visit, so each day my kids had their fill within 1.5 hours, which allowed us to enjoy the beach and pools. Since the location is very remote, the all-inclusive package/meals made everything so easy. We found the food to have lots of variety and great quality. Our room was at the very back of the resort, next to the water park, but we still had sweeping sea views, and everything on the property was kept beautifully clean at times.

Like most resorts, there never seem to be enough loungers by the pool, so people “reserve” them early in the morning by placing their stuff on the chairs, and many of them remain claimed but vacant most of the day. I do wish the resort was closer to other towns/sites/attractions, but we knew that when we booked it, so not a surprise. Really, we had such a wonderful, relaxing, care-free stay here… just what we needed!

Lots of pools and buffet ok.

Certain nationalities reserved all sun beds by pool by 7.30am the hotel should enforce a no reservation policy as many towels left on beds half the day and not used, some clients held beds on both the beach and pool all day very unfair. The BBQ by beach was disappointing. Some evening entertainment wasn’t really family oriented at all. While branded spirits on show at the bar the staff used cheap u branded spirits making cocktails which tasted cheap and poor. The wine also was very hit and miss. For the price the quality was lacking.

Everything was incredible, the food options are endless. You just can't be hungry enough! An all inclusive resort but with the service and vibe of a very exclusive one! The best part though was the staff, everyone went above and beyond to ensure our stay was nice and they genuinely wanted you to feel comfortable. Loved absolutely everything, will be definitely revisiting even though we are locals.

Some parts need a renovation, our room though was very newly renovated.
