Just returned from 8 days at this lovely hotel. The rooms are clean and spacious with the biggest, most comfortable beds you could ever want. Tea, coffee and water is provided and water is refreshed daily. Within our package, My Favourite, (that is the name of the package) , we had access to the lounge bar which meant all drinks were available for you to help yourself to. Snacks were also topped up through out the day. This area also had a secluded balcony with comfortable sunbeds. There was also 2 larger sunbeds for couples to enjoy which were lovely and soft. The pools were a little cold but there is the option to use the indoor pool in the spa area. There is also a suana and steam room as well as a jacuzzi pool. The gym is well equipped too. We were fortunate to stay just before half term week so there was plenty of sunbeds each day, however, as soon as more people came out that was a bit of a problem. The beach is a 5 minute walk down a very steep hill but once there you will not be disappointed. The sand is golden and the sea is crystal clear. I would avoid the beach on a windy day as you might feel a bit sand blasted but other than that it is gorgeous. Be prepared for nudists that you might see walking along. I believe there is a section along the beach if this is something you want to experience....no tan lines! We spent a couple of days down there and had the best time. There are 2 bars that serve food and drinks all day and a surf/sailing club if you wanted to undertake some water sports. No jet skis fortunately so nice and peaceful. Be on the look out for the chipmonks that live in the rocks. They are very friendly and have no fear but we were warned not to feed them as they can bite. Very cute though. The hotel has some resident cats that you might see walking about. They are well looked after with their own accommodation so not the usual skinny things you might see. There is a couple of cheeky seagulls that like chocolate doughnuts so watch out for them stealing the food. They have no shame! The food was amazing. Being a vegetarian there was so much on offer at each meal time. It was lovely and hot and fresh. The toaster machine was a bit slow, it took 3 times for the toast to be to my liking. The chefs constantly keep on top of everything and the staff are friendly and polite. Bottles of wine were available for you to help yourself to as well as soft drinks and lager on tap. The only thing I would have liked was a tea or coffee at lunch but for some reason the closed the machines down at this time. You could still get a hot drink but from a different area. Drinks and food is available all day so you will never be hungry or thirsty. We did not go into the evening entertainment but there was something on each night and during the day, staff are around the pool encouraging games such as water polo or keep fit etc. Reception will give you as many fresh towels as you need throughout the day which is great. The weather was a bit windy for a couple of days but this was a relief from the heat of the day so not too bad. The only thing I did not like was the fact that the pool area was not cleaned . In the whole time we stayed, there were some coffee cups left and the floor was dirty and could have done with a hose down or a mop but that would be the only negative thing I could find here. A short, 5 minute. 10 euro taxi ride will take you into the town where there are the usual nick knack shops as well as some designer ones so you can have a little shop. Be careful when ordering drinks from any of the bars as they do not measure their spirits in the same way we do so 1 drink is probably the equivalent of 3! Good value for money but a bit dangerous if you are not careful. If you are booked in for a holiday then you will have a lovely time. I would go back again any time.

“Disappointed!”

Location was as we expected, deliberately booked a quiet out of the way location

“Ok! but Don't expect to go out hotel as very secluded!”

Soo, where do i start! The food is not bad always fresh, the views are good from the hotel, and the weather in may was great! Now Bad points, No local bars or jet ski s or night life, most ppl were reading books or falling asleep, no music near the pool most times and was 10% loud, if you want a proper holiday go to the top end of island near the airport. we also had to pay 120 euro to get bk to airport as the bus driver came and left in less then 1 minute as we were on way to lobby ! we watched him drive off and no one called for us as we were in other room from lobby. tbf me and wife enjoyed the week off but wish we went to more busier place! place was like a graveyard at night and the entertainment at night was mainly bingo but bar was not bad as they serve good cocktails. my score is 5/10 for family and couples! if you want a good time ! better go to top island near the airport!
