Best Holiday Ever
Pros:

Went as Father and Daughter for a week, Had a fantastic time, food is good and worth it, rooms are nice, cleaned every day, All the staff are very helpful and are always there when you need them. Big shoutout to the Animation team George, Lola and Hernan, Always activities during the day and fantastic entertainment in the evening for example, Karaoke, Cabaret, Live Acts, Bingo, Quizzes and Much more. This was our 2nd time here, and will definitely be returning. Highly recommend booking All inclusive. It's worth it, Great for all ages. Location is great 5-10 minute walk to shops and bars, Bus stop right outside the hotel, Beach directly opposite the back gate.

Skvěle strávený čas s přáteli
Pros:

Párádní místo blízko vlakové stanice, krásná pláž s promedánou. Luxusní jídlo, velký výběr, milý personál, čistota všude. Spousy míst na odpočinek, bázen, u restaurace , na trávníku. Přijemné místo, v blízkosti šumu, kde se dá cokoliv dělat. :) Poměr cena, služby = nadmíru spokojení.

Cons:

Nemám co vytknout.

Pros:

My husband has a disability, I requested a room with a view. If he was unwell we could sit on the balcony and enjoy the view. We were given a disabled room GF with a great view. Hotel spotless & food good. All staff were excellent.

Now the negatives
- no fridge in the room
- very basic furniture

While I wouldn’t return to this hotel we did have a nice time.

Great Value for Money
Pros:

First impressions not good room was clean but need of up-date and as others have commented lacked fridge, hair dryer and tea making facilities. However, opinion soon changed. Excellent location, staff very friendly and helpful, particularly in the restaurant. Although limited variation throughout the week found the choice reasonable. Overall impression excellent value for money.

Poor restaurant experiences
Pros:

Been to this hotel many times over the past 8 years. Very chilling and enjoyable, familiar. I did feel that the food was very below par this year with little variety and also cold many times. There seemed like a shortage of staff in the dining room this year and tables took a long time to reset. Unless this situation improves I will not be booking again for a while. All members of our group felt the same. 11 of us. Such a shame, it is bad business policy to down grade food quality in an all inclusive hotel. Where did grilled tomatoes and fried bread go from the breakfast menu. Also frying one egg at a time just caused large queues and frustration. I never had the patience to wait for one.

Enjoyed our stay
Pros:

Just come home from a 4 night stay. Nice hotel and grounds, beach and prom at the back of the hotel. The room was clean, comfy beds and pillows, powerful shower, didn't expect air con to be still on so that was a bonus, No need to reserve a sun lounger although some had towels on with no-one using them for hours on end. Evening entertainment was ok, but difficult to get a good view as too many pillars near the stage area. Food was a let down, repetitive, not hot and although there were microwaves - they weren't large enough to put a dinner plate in - so a bit pointless. It was warm enough to eat our meals outside so that was nice. Wifi is free but you have to get the reception staff to log you on - they don't give out the password, we kept loosing connection also. All in all a great holiday except for the food.

Not isolated, but a bit out of the way.
Pros:

Hotel was okay, not too busy, we went the first week in October.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
It’s a bit out of the way, but close to train station and bus stops and a beach.
Okay if you’re happy walking or taxi etc..
Food was not terrible, but not good either, you get what you pay for.
We had a lovely view from the 2nd floor.
Lifts were always busy especially at meal times.
The pool looked very uninviting with a guard rail all the way around it.
Not complaining, but I don’t think I’d go again because of the location.

Relaxing holiday in a relaxing hotel
Pros:

This is a great family hotel. It’s a little out dated but it makes up for it in other ways. All the staff are amazing from the check in to the cleaners. I have to say a very special thanks to the entertainment team Lola, George and Hearián. They really know how to look after guests and make a holiday enjoyable, entertained and make you feel welcome. The bar staff have been amazing as well from Noelle, Aida to name a few they know how to make some mean drinks 😮. They have gone out of their way to accommodate our requirements. They always have a smile when greeting you and happy to see you. Before you ask they all ready know what your going to order which is amazing considering the amount of guests they serve it’s a nice touch. To be honest I don’t think they get enough credit for everything they all do. We are all ready planning our next stay and can’t wait to come back.
