8.4/10 Very Good! (540 reviews)

Property generally good, needs a bit of TLC in parts. Paid extra for a sea view that was blocked by palm trees 🌴. Breakfast good but a bit chaotic.

Fabulous room overlooking the pool,beach and sea. Magical to wake up to the sounds of waves lapping against the shore. Staff are exceptional especially Joana & Irina in the hotel bar, both are real superstars!! Breakfast buffet style with everything you could wish for. Onsite Spa fantastic too we will be re-booking as many other guests do

9.2/10 Wonderful! (86 reviews)

Outstanding hotel, upgraded on arrival. Staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Excellent pools for kids, great kids club, very good gym. We were not even playing golf, just a great place regardless of golfing or not. On site restaurants/cafes a little too expensive if staying on site. Recommend hiring a car to get out and explore local vicinity/restaurants etc. overall fantastic hotel for a family or couples.
