“A Good Hotel”
We had a very enjoyable week here July 2026. Having looked at some of the previous reviews after booking I was a little worried but I shouldn't have been. This is a very GOOD hotel, yes maybe some of the finishing isn't 5* but we didn't feel the price charged was 5*. The rooms were very clean and s… more

“Fantastic all inclusive hotel - great for families”
This was a lovely stay in a friendly welcoming hotel. It was very clean and airy inside. We arrived later on and the receptionist led us to dining area for a meal before checking in. We all agreed that the food was outstanding. Travelling with 2 teenagers, there was plenty of variety each night at … more

“Nice place”
Just on our final day at the hotel and have really enjoyed our stay. The hotel seemed fairly quiet, there was plenty of space around the pools and it was easy to get a table in the restaurant. The staff all seemed friendly and the food was nice with lots of variety too. The only minor thing I would… more

“Not 5 star”
Firstly I would like to say the staff are friendly and the room was clean. However I would not consider this to be a 5 star hotel and here’s why. Some parts of the hotel are tired and in need of maintenance and a freshen up. Food adequate but not the amount of choice one would expect from 5 star (… more

Key features of the moderation of reviews
There is an automatic system that detects offensive language, in which case the review will not be published. If an owner reports one of the reviews, the review will be re-evaluated and, if it fails to comply with our content standards, it will be taken down.
Our criteria for collecting guest reviews
After getting home from the trip booked with us, the customer will receive an email asking them to review different aspects of each of the services booked. The system only allows the booking holder to complete this review and only once.
When will my review appear on the website?
Reviews typically take less than 24 hours to appear on our website. The process may take longer if our team of moderators have to examine the review in more detail.
How long will my review stay on the website?
Once it has been published, your review will automatically appear in the summary of reviews and if it is considered a featured review (based on publication date, length and quality of content), the complete review will also appear. Said review will not appear or will disappear from the system if it contains offensive language or if it is reported.
Can I get a reward for my opinion?
No. Reviews written in exchange for personal rewards such as gifts, services, or money will be taken down.
Can a review be edited?
No, once a review has been written, it cannot be edited. If you want it taking down, you can ask to have it deleted and not republished again.
Will my review appear on other websites or publications?
Once published, all or some of the reviews written by our members may be used on some of our partner sites or in promotional material in general.
If I write a review about a service, can the provider contact me about it?
No, as the personal data of the booking holder writing the review will not be shared with any service providers being reviewed. In the featured reviews shown, only the booking holder's first name will appear, meaning that there's no way that the service provider can contact you.
