Mooie, ruime en schone hotelkamer. Prachtig kinderspeelbad met diverse glijbaantjes. Direct aan een mooi strand. Enige minpunt is dat het hotel binnenkort dicht ging, waardoor bijv. de helft van het zwembad al afgesloten was. Jammer, want je betaalt wel de volle pond. Maar dat is natuurlijk afhankelijk van de datum dat je afreist naar dit hotel. Verder eveneens een prima buffet (gevarieerd, dagelijks anders kost).

Childrens pool and play area is perfect for kids, beach is easily accessible and location feels isolated from outside distractions.

Horrible service and kids running with no control
Rude service at the dining room. Kids running around with no control and no masks. Coffee, horrible ever taste. We paid for breakfast but we ended up having breakfast everyday in a little town close by. I complained, talked to the sub-director, but not action taken whatsoever. Just a friendly email to follow the protocol. Honestly, very disappointed! Will never come back and not recommended.

New hotel, clean and modern. Nice choice of food for breakfast and evening meal. Drinks reasonable prices. No kettle in room, asked about it and got told we have to pre book. Also we visited in late October which means the pools was too cold to use. They do have an indoor pool however they said kids was ok aloud in durning the morning for 2 hour. The price for this was €14 an adult and €10 a child. So would have cost us €38 for an hours swim as it’s in the hotels “spa” area. They should consider a reduced entry cost durning the colder seasons! Not much to do in the surrounding areas, we had a walk around the large lake area to see the ducks and took a drive to Jerez and chipiona. Nice beach on your door step. Feel the dining room would be manic in high season due to its size and the amount of rooms they have. We live a few hours away near Gibraltar and will maybe return again for a couple of nights when it’s a little warmer.

Really enjoyed this resort!! It is quite big, but all things ran smoothly. Pools are very nice and the beac, which is a short stroll away is very nice. The food was good considering the a size of the resort, but a little more variety and veg wouldn’t go amiss. Most residents are Spanish, which was fine by us, but if you want to meet people, best to be able to speak Spanish.

Modern, clean & great location
Somewhat of a last minute family break. Reviews looked good so decided to give it a go. The hotel was modern, clean and spacious. Although very busy due to space it never felt too crowded. Room was clean, spacious and we had room on ground floor with pool straight outside which was a very nice surprise/addition we weren’t expecting. The food & drink was of a good standard. Restaurant offered a very wide range of different food on the buffet. The only negative was the restaurant staff were super busy so at times cleaninless of eating areas and table setup & service was not to required standard. Some of the staff were a little rude at times also when you approached or asked them for something. I get they were busy but as a paying customer that’s not my problem. The hotel is also very close to the beach. The beach is superb! Overall a very good hotel which I’d recommend. One on our list to visit again when less busy.

Great all inclusive hotel for family and friends
Brand new hotel (opened in 2018) with a good location by the beach of Costa Ballena. Many activities for children's (aquapark, kids club, shows) and adults (large pool, gym, infinity pool, bars). Easy access to the beach. Easy and free parking in front of the hotel or 7 Euros per day in door parking. I definitely recommend to book all inclusive and a premium room. The all inclusive package is worth it and the premium room put you in best buildings (2 & 3) and gave you access to the infinity pool on the rooftop. The food at the buffet is good compared to other all inclusive hotels and changes every day. My only criticism during my stay at the hotel is the fact there is only 1 restaurant for 1,500 people (when full), the towel service requesting a deposit and you can change towels only during a very short timing so long wait (with a very rude lady at the Spa that gave the towels), not enough umbrellas by the pool.
