Very Disappointing and Not Worth the Money
Pros:

We paid around £2,000 for two adults and one child for a 4-night all-inclusive stay, and unfortunately, this was one of the most disappointing hotel experiences we have had.
The hotel did not look like the pictures advertised online. In my opinion, the promotional images gave a very different impression from what we actually found when we arrived.
The “all-inclusive” package also did not feel truly all-inclusive. We were charged £16 per day for parking, and there were additional charges for things we expected to be included. For example, we were asked to pay €1 for a clean beach towel each day. Otherwise, you are expected to keep and reuse the same towel provided at the beginning of your stay. I was also asked to pay extra for a frappe because apparently this was not included in the all-inclusive package.
The food was probably the biggest disappointment. There was very little variety, and we found the quality extremely poor. Some of the vegetables tasted sour and did not seem fresh, to the point that we did not feel comfortable eating them.

I also explained that I have an allergy to cow’s milk and asked for soya milk, but I was told they did not have any. I found the alternatives for people with dietary requirements extremely limited, with very few suitable vegan options available.
Considering the amount we paid, we expected a much better standard of food, service and facilities. The beach was also not particularly pleasant, which added to our disappointment.
Overall, this holiday was extremely poor value for money. Based on our experience, I would not choose this hotel again and could not recommend it. For approximately £2,000 for only four nights, we expected a significantly higher standard.

Normal.
Pros:

Ideal pour enfants de moins de 10 ans - beaucoup d'activité sur place et équipe d'animation disponible.
Restauration : bien - variée. Mais pas beaucoup choix pour le petit dej (répétitif).
Equipe : bien, à l'écoute et disponible.

Cons:

Plage - non adaptée.
Boisson non incluse en demi-pensions - c'est inacceptable.
Pas de changement de serviette de piscine durant le séjour.
Un des deux bâtiment n'est pas rénové, pas de climatisation dans les couloirs, et ascenseurs trés sollicités - cela rend l'accessibilité compliqué surtout en heure de pointe

Pros:

Le buffet
La piscine

Cons:

Plage : la plage est difficilement accessible pour nager, car elle est pleine de rochers.
Literie et chambre : les lits n’étaient pas confortables. J’avais effectué une réservation pour deux adultes et un bébé, mais le lit bébé n’a pas été fourni. De plus, l’hôtel nous a attribué une chambre avec 2 lits simple, ce qui n’était ni pratique ni confortable pour deux adultes avec un bébé.
Une meilleure prise en compte de la réservation et des besoins liés à la présence d’un bébé aurait vraiment amélioré notre séjour.

Bien
Pros:

Está todo bien en general.

Cons:

Los macro hoteles donde hay tantas familias alojadas, muchas veces son estresantes y ruidosos. Y el trato del personal, a pesar de hacer todo lo que se puede, a veces no es del todo correcto.

Deu para descansar e desfrutar de umas férias em família
Pros:

A comida muito variada em todas as refeições.
Os quartos muito espaçosos.
Uma rede de internet que tínhamos acesso em qualquer parte do hotel, até mesmo na piscina.
É um hotel que recebe patudos e sempre tudo top.
Estavam sempre funcionários a limpar.
Achei muito curioso ter 2 piscinas grandes, uma familiar onde decorre várias atividades e uma recatada, para o descanso.

Cons:

Nada a registar
