"We stayed here at the end of May/beginning of June with our 4-month-old baby, and I thought this review might be helpful for other parents considering this hotel, as I arrived not really knowing what to expect.
For us, the location was ideal. There are free buses that run into town and back, but taxis were only around €8 and the hotel was happy to arrange them for us. Our room was on the ground floor and, because the complex is relatively small, we were only a short walk from the pool, restaurant, and bar. This was especially convenient when the baby was napping, as we never had far to go.
There is evening entertainment which can be heard from your terrace, so if your baby is asleep in the room, you can still enjoy some of it without leaving. That said, the rooms themselves are quite soundproof.
The rooms only have a coffee machine and no kettle, although kettles can be rented on arrival. I brought my own. The complimentary bottled water provided on arrival is safe to use for formula, but I visited Aldi on our first day and bought bottled water with lower sodium and mineral content, which is generally recommended for babies.
If you need to buy nappies while you’re there, expect to pay around €7–10 per pack. There is a microwave available in the restaurant if you sterilise bottles that way. I use MAM bottles, which unfortunately didn’t fit in the microwave, but I had brought sterilising bags with me and they worked perfectly.
The rooms only have showers and no baths, so I packed a collapsible laundry basket which doubled as both a baby bath and a place to wash bottles. I’d also recommend bringing slightly more formula than you would normally use at home, as my baby drank noticeably more due to the heat.
One thing to note is that there aren’t many plug sockets in the room. There are none on either side of the bed, although there are USB ports (standard USB, not USB-C). Additional sockets can be found behind the sofa, near the coffee machine, and in the bathroom.
The food is what you’d generally expect from a standard all-inclusive resort. There was a strong focus on fish dishes, although beef, chicken, and pork options were usually available as well. Drinks included in the standard package are somewhat limited. Premium spirits such as Bacardi require a Gold Band upgrade, although cocktails and beers are included. We ended up buying our own spirits and mixing them with the soft drinks available at the hotel.
The rooms do have fridges, but I’d recommend checking the temperature setting when you arrive, as ours wasn’t particularly cold initially.
Most of the staff were lovely and very helpful throughout our stay. However, we did experience a few less welcoming interactions in the restaurant, mainly with some of the older staff members. On a positive note, the rooms were cleaned to a good standard and fresh towels were provided daily.
Overall, we had a lovely stay and found the hotel to be very manageable with a young baby, especially thanks to the convenient layout, helpful facilities, and family-friendly atmosphere."
