Arrived for some beautiful January weather only to find that the pool and surrounding area was closed as the outside of the hotel was being repainted. Had I been told about this I would have booked another hotel, as the pool is a big part of my holiday. I had upgraded to all inclusive on arrival, at a good price, but would say that the food was pretty average (and certainly not kept at a healthy temperature on the serving section), and alcoholic beverages were on the weak side. I was told by one couple, who were stopping for 11 nights, that they were given free all inclusive by the manager when they complained about the pool area. I therefore went to the manager to ask for a refund of my all inclusive charge under the circumstances. He refused. So one couple get something, and nobody else did. Seems rather unfair. Rooms were fine, although the balcony door did not lock. I reported this and was told it would be sorted in 2 days, and was given the safe to use free of charge. The door was never mended, so was continually a security risk. I was told by other guests that their balcony doors didn't lock either. Could be a lovely hotel, with a good location just a row back from the beach, but needs better management.
