7.8/10 Good! (659 reviews)

It was not a 5 star property. You had to buy pool towels. While it was described as being on the beach, you had to rent chairs for 20€ to be on the beach. The inclusive restaurants were mediocre at best. The bars had no ginger ale got more than a week. We had to go to local supermarket and purchase our own for use at the bar. There were no frozen cocktails.

8.2/10 Very Good! (207 reviews)

Really lovely hotel. Although there was a clothes shop within the hotel it would have been good to have a small convenience store for water, snacks or even a vending machine. Although drinks and snacks were available at the pool bar, they were expensive. Also didn’t like that a service charge was added at every single transaction. The reception staff were extremely helpful. Nothing was too much bother. In particular when my son got badly sunburnt, I had asked about a nearby chemist but they were kind enough to give me cream which worked wonders. The location is out a bit from any sort of bars/shops. However it was only a 15 minute walk and the Ubers were very reasonable. If you are looking for a relaxing, slow paced break away from the hustle and bustle or a keen golfer this is a great hotel to stay at!
