Soggiorno bellissimo, ci tornerei e lo consiglio.
Pros:

Camera superiore con vista laterale mare bellissima, formula all inclusive ottima,pulizia ottima, staff competente gentile. Bellissima piscina e per il mare la spiaggia è di fronte.

Cons:

Avendo la formula all-inclusive si può usufruire dei bar liberamente, abbiamo preso 3 cocktail in una settimana alla sera ed ho notato che per chi come noi aveva il braccialetto all inclusive i camerieri venivano per ultimi a prendere la prenotazione per bere anche se il bar era quasi vuoto e magari eravamo arrivati prima degli altri che non avevano la formula all inclusive. Tanto che ci siamo sentiti un po a disagio e non siamo più andate.

PERFEITO ❤️
Pros:

É um hotel enorme com imensas pessoas e só posso dizer uma coisa: brilhante. É brilhante a organização, a limpeza, os funcionários - conseguir transformar o que poderia ser um verdadeiro caos de pessoas em umas férias memoráveis é de louvar. Parabéns Iberostars, adoramos a semana que aí passamos. A comida é variada e maravilhosa. Pequeno almoço maravilhoso, almoços e jantares variados e saborosos. Frutas variadas e maravilhosas. Excelente qualidade.
Imensas atividades para as crianças!
Bom referir que fomos na semana mais caótica do ano: 15 de Agosto. Organização do hotel - parabéns.

Pros:

Lo que mas destacamos es la animación infantil y la zona de toboganes. Mi hija de 6 años disfrutó muchisimo y cogió mucho cariño especialmente a Macu. Pero en general nos gustó mucho todo el hotel, limpieza, ambiente, buffet... Relación calidad-precio muy buena

Cons:

Lo que menos me gustó es el suelo exterior, que resbala bastante. Quizás también lo difícil que es encontrar hamacas en la zona de piscina en temporada alta
