DO NOT EAT HERE! I want to start by saying I am not a fussy person, especially when I booked a last minute cheap holiday 2 days before I departed. So this review isn’t just a nit pick. Upon arrival we were greeted by 2 lovely ladies at reception, they were so welcoming and happy. We had a laugh signing in and were offered a cold buffet as it was so late we had missed dinner. The rooms are small but clean and comfortable and are cleaned and beds made daily. The beaches and views are some of the most beautiful I have ever seen! The entertainment team are brilliant and so friendly. They made it really enjoyable for my kids and husband 🤣🤣 The fridges in the rooms are empty. You’re not supplied with bottled water, you have to purchase it for €2.60 per bottle. The safe key is almost €50 for 1 week and you only get €10 deposit back. You get the usual Pepsi, 7up, coffee, tea etc on all inclusive but any other drinks are chargeable. Although it’s all inclusive, it’s still expensive and seems to be a cost for everything. DO NOT EAT THE FOOD On our first full day my eldest was stung by a jelly fish (obvs no one’s fault) but after seeing the local doctor and coming out from the chemist (£130 less) we bumped into a couple that warned us about the food as the man had spent 3 of their 4/5 day break ill in his room from food poisoning, vomiting, dihorrea and severe stomach cramps. The chemist had actually told them that they get a lot of customers daily buying sickness tablets and hydration tablets etc. So after that we were weary and literally kept to chips, rice and pasta (it’s been a long week food wise!) BUT Thursday night, I woke up with the most excruciating stomach cramps and proceeded to be sick for the next 3 hours. It takes a lot for me to be sick, my husband has only ever known me to be sick once before in 20 years together. The whole of the next day was a write off, spent in the room missing the sun and not making memories with my kids feeling so poorly and aching so much from all the wretching and for the rest of the holiday every time I walked into the restaurant I just felt sick and couldn’t eat much. Then 2 nights after I was sick, my son was knocking at my door at 1am to check I was ok as he thought I was sick again. Turns out someone in the room above us was being sick and continued to do so until around 3am then Believe it or not, once she finished, you could hear someone else start to be sick! If you read reviews or speak to staff they blame it on weather changes or other things. It is nothing else other than the food! For me only eating chips, rice and pasta, it shows there must be some kind of cross contamination of food. It is ruining a lot of people’s holidays. I’m lucky I was only sick for half the night! This hotel does have the potential to be a 4* but it is not a 4* I’d say 2* right now
