Curl up and go asleep in a cabana …
Pros:

The staff get 10/10 especially the breakfast staff, Wesley and Lendira and the manager. They make the holiday.
I loved the pool area, I’m too fair to sunbath but the cabanas were fab.
Food here, lunch and al la carte for breakfast was very good. Highly recommend the beach bar a few 100m for fab food also.

Cons:

I think we got a dud room and whether I was too tired I never complained about the smell of mould coming from the shower that I showered in my flip flops and at night I was cold with only a sheet. The coffee machine had no pods despite asking reception who asked cleaning and going back to reception to advise we didn’t get them and never did. There should be signs up to advise not to consume water or brush teeth with it. We got a bottle of water on the first day, I feel that should have been replenished daily. We did move rooms the last day paid a late check out fee. The room we were put in was magnificent, no smell of mould, with coffee pods and blankets. If you plan to stay ask the hotel for a room around the pool. I have to say the people here are fab. I should have spoken up but were arrived exhausted and did nothing but sleep and eat. I wasn’t even put off by the little birds stealing breakfast and pooping on chairs. They are tiny and you can’t be cross with them.

Carino
Pros:

Bella location, comodi i lettini a bordo della piscina.
Apprezzata l’acqua trovata in frigo al nostro arrivo e la possibilità di chek out alle 12.
Camera semplice e bagno spazioso.
Staff gentilissimo e disponibile

Cons:

Sono rimasta un po delusa dalla colazione… purtroppo sempre la stessa e non con frutta locale di stagione, a disposizione una carta con catchupa, uova, toas e crepes.
Leggermente un po troppo fuori dal centro.
