Amazing pools and rooms but not so great all inclusive drinks
Pros:

Great location, amazing pools and rooms

Cons:

We found the all inclusive drinks menu wasn’t great and the drinks that were on there didn’t taste amazing so we went out the whole week for drinks. And we found the bar staff weren’t as friendly as the rest of the staff

We had a short but lovely stay
Pros:

Food was top notch and plenty of choice, maître D was friendly and fun and you were given drinks as you entered for dinner. comfy rooms with everything you could need and great staff. Pool area good

Cons:

Aircon in room took ages to cool down room could do with ceiling fans in addition. Could do with a visible menu at pool bar for inclusive cocktails and ingredients as staff rattled off list of names but weren’t generic names so had no idea what was in them. Staff at pool bar could be friendlier

Das Hotel ist über alles gesehen sehr gut und absolut empfehlenswert.
Pros:

Das Fürstücksbuffet war sehr reichhaltig. Tiptop. Man kann drinnen und draussen essen. Ab und zu ein bisschen mehr Lachs wäre schön.

Cons:

Das Fitness sollte länger offen haben. Es kann sein, dass man nach dem Nachtessen noch trainieren will.

Agréable séjour
Pros:

Joli bâtiment avec des chambres agréables et bien situé sur une rue commerçante de la ville avec des restaurants et des magasins et la plage.
Spa très agreable et la nourriture est globalement très bien. Bonus pour la glace offerte au bar pendant l'après-midi. La salle de sport est bien.

Cons:

- Les transats etaient deja occupé dès tot le matin. À 8h30 il n'y avait plus rien de libre autour de la piscine principale
- Pas de serviette fourni a la salle de sport

I would not recommend anyone to stay here.
Pros:

We were late arriving due to the weather and the staff prepared a box dinner for our arrival.

Cons:

The beds kept slipping apart, the food was not impressive, and the breakfast, lunch, and dinner times were unreasonable. The room was too small and the entertainment was forced and not properly executed.

Great resort. Food was great and rooms were nice and pool. Staff also were fantastic

Stunning resort with a great gym and wonderful staff. A few updates needed
Pros:

Beautiful hotel with probably the best hotel gym I’ve ever seen! Lovely and attentive staff, great pool and the food was mostly great.

Cons:

Some areas needs upgrading as they have became old and worn (like the sun beds). Some of the food could be fresher and healthier and the all inclusive drink package is quite limited on spirits.

Amazing resort! Will return next year
Pros:

The staff is amazing, the food is tasty. Everything is clean. Everyone is so kind. We had a great stay

Cons:

The bed is not comfortable- king size divided to two different beds that wasn’t stuck in place, so we had to push the beds together all the time

In pleasant surroundings a week of relaxation with delicious food
Pros:

The hotel is not very big, very cozy, the staff is very nice. The food was also very tasty.

Cons:

We had a room with a pool, which I really liked, except that during the week we were there, they never cleaned the area around the pool.
