"Basic 3-star hotel, but overall a good stay
The rooms were clean and spacious, although there wasn’t much storage for a family holiday. We could definitely have done with at least a set of drawers.
The location was good — close enough to bars, restaurants and the beach, all within a short walk.
The entertainment room was far too hot without air conditioning, so we avoided using it. There was a lovely guy walking around trying his best, but the heat really made it uncomfortable. Some better music around the pool might also have helped create more of an atmosphere, as the music played wasn’t great.
The pool area had enough sunbeds for everyone, but the sunbeds definitely need replacing. They don’t sit upright properly, are lacking structure and were ready for a good clean. There were lots of people regularly cleaning the outside areas, but underneath the sunbeds seemed to get missed because they weren’t stacked up to allow proper cleaning. The lifeguard was excellent and always seemed to be on the ball, walking around, tidying and arranging the sunbeds. The lady at the pool bar was also really friendly and helpful.
Paper cups are provided around the pool as well as at night, which seemed to encourage a lot of people to buy plastic cups. The staff were more than happy to refill them for you.
The restaurant served typical all-inclusive food. Breakfast was good, with fresh eggs and omelettes cooked in front of you, and lovely fresh baguettes. The lady cooking the eggs always put a smile on my little girl’s face!
Lunch and dinner were okay. You could always find something to eat, although the restaurant was quite small, and the way the tables were arranged in groups of six made it more difficult to find a table. There are tables outside that could be used, but no cutlery is placed outside, and the door is a bit of a pain when you’re carrying a plate of food.
Fresh food was cooked throughout the day at the snack bar. Definitely get the pizza! The pizza served at lunchtime was fresh and, honestly, better than some we paid for in restaurants.
You could have drinks in proper glasses in the restaurant and help yourself to wine, sangria, water and soft drinks. The beer was kept behind the bar, so you had to get the staff’s attention, which could be difficult as they were always very busy.
The hotel itself looked nice, with beautiful, well-maintained gardens and plants. The staff were friendly, and the hotel felt safe. I was happy enough for my daughters to go to the toilet and back to the room on their own, which says a lot.
Overall, we had a good stay and really enjoyed ourselves. It was a cheap deal, so we were very happy with what we got for the price.
Tips:
- Take an inflatable pillow for the loungers — you’ll thank me!
- Take plastic cups for drinks.
- The sun starts on the restaurant side of the pool and reaches the other side at around midday.
- Only inflatable rings are allowed in the pool.
- Get the pizza!
- Enjoy your holiday! ☀️"
