Staff were brilliant be careful with photos being seen on the booking as you may not get that room!
Pros:

Location was great. Staff were very accommodating

Cons:

Our room booked through booking.com was not the room we got in the first place. I told reception and they accommodated us into the correct room which we had previously booked in the first place but this was two days into our seven night stay.

Pros:

Great comfy rooms

Cons:

Very dark and crammed in, all appartments so close and towering over the pool. Only 4 pool lounges available for people who didn’t have the pool access rooms. Didn’t want to swim there
