“Honest review from a regular young couple”

This will be the most honest reveiw you see - let me start by saying me and my partner (24 and 30) are simple people from Yorkshire UK with no children . We do not need a lot to be happy .

This will be the most honest reveiw you see - let me start by saying me and my partner (24 and 30) are simple people from Yorkshire UK with no children . We do not need a lot to be happy . In our opinion this hotel is not a 4 star more like a 3, which doesn’t mean it’s a bad hotel but not what it says on the tin kind of thing . We did have a lovley time on holiday , we stayed for 10 nights all inclusive. The food is edible but not amazing so we did eat out a lot , there is a amazing cafe 5 minutes away on foot called “AVRA Creating Feelings” I would recommend that if you get fed up of the food . The hotel staff was very friendly , I have seen some reveiw that suggested other wise however you need to think , how did that guest act towards the staff? As we have seen the restaurant manager shout at children yes , BUT it was well justified , when the parents are treating the staff like babysitters and leaving their children unattended to cause issues . One boy was touching food and putting it back and hitting machines in the little arcade so this was justified. Honestly do not believe all the Karen’s . If you do not have your nose in the air and you are looking for a nice break away it’s honestly fine . The rooms are very basic , not the most modern and not shiny clean but clean enough not “dirty”. The rooms are quite far away from reception depending on where you get put so if you have mobility issues let them know prior so you get a room with no stairs, as we had to climb 4 flights to get to our room ( we are young so didn’t matter to us). The veiw from our room was beautiful! The beds were okay not as comfy as home but they never will be but definitely not the worst we have had. If you turn left out of the hotel and walk 15 mins you will get to all the shops it took us about a hour to walk to the end of the strip there’s so many amazing stalls and places to eat . and some absolutely beautiful cocktail bars that overlook of the sea! We was caught off guard and completely unaware of the tourist tax for the hotel, which is around about €7 per day, we got told this unexpected when we arrived. So we were €70 down before the holiday started, but if we were made aware of it, it wouldn’t be too bad. All the local people were so lovely, I would definitely recommend the area if you are staying at the this hotel make sure you try the local aquarium we visited, and absolutely loved it. If you find yourself too tired to walk the wallk back to the hotel, there is many taxis that will charge you about €8 to get back which we didn’t seem too bad. I will mention the “all-inclusive” is not technically all inclusive, as the drinks only include tea , cofffee , pop, local beers, wines, vodkas, rums, and gins it doesn’t include any special drinks like ice coffees and cocktails. These are quite pricey in my opinion. This is the first time we’ve ever done all inclusive so we was unaware that this was the thing I was really looking forward to cocktails but I was not paying the prices. However, on the back of that, I will also say they have a snack bar that is open from 11 am to 5 pm where you can constantly get things like chips and pizza if you are hungry and lunch is not on and it is by the side of the pool which is very convenient. There is also an on-site shop which is extremely overpriced, but if you need something and do not want to walk to the shop it is there. There is a spa shop around about 5 to 10 minute walk away which is a lot cheaper. Definitely do not pay to rent any towels for the pool ! If you keep walking after the spa, there is a lovely market that does them between five and €6 and you of course get to keep the towel and not just rent it for €10. They have two quite large pools they are both salt water which is actually better we found one quite deep that I could not touch the bottom so better for swimming and were not so deep so maybe better to take the kids. When the Sun was on the Sun loungers. It was so lovely we never struggled to get one but we went in April so it may be different if you go at peak. Just like everything in life, you kind of have to make your own decision. Some people will hate this but some people will love it it’s really mix! However, if you do come and you get a hotel room that you’re not happy with, they will change your rooms. Of course, certain issues cannot be helped as the running of a massive hotel like this there is gonna be issues. We are so very lucky that we didn’t run into any issues and we had again a lovely holiday. All in all if you are Going with the expectation of a glamorous hotel, this is not for you. however, if you’re very basic and I wanted a cheap and cheerful holiday. This is definitely for you. We do not regret our stay . I realise this review is probably the longest one you’ve ever seen, but I would’ve appreciated this before we came and I hope it helps people make their decision again I need to stress. We had a lovely holiday and I wouldn’t object to come in here again.

Just visited this hotel as a family of 5, was quite worried because I’m not keen on all inclusive, however, no complaints with the food, breakfast was the best meal of the day. I struggled being vegetarian as there were so many meat dishes on every day but that’s normal abroad. Only one thing the food was luke warm it needed to be kept heated. The restaurant staff were lovely and friendly as was the lifeguard. Front reception desk not helpful at all and always seemed rushed, we arrived at 11.30pm and were told nothing about times etc for food and facilities then had to climb 90 odd steps to our room. The room was very clean and was cleaned every day, fresh towels too. The corridor outside the room was quite noisy, I think this was because the bedroom door was just a basic door not a fire door so you could hear everything. The swimming pools and paddling areas were very clean and tidy . Overall no complaints but we did go out of season. Would recommend for families.
