This was mine and my boyfriend’s first holiday away together and it was a great one too. The hotel is located closely to a public beach which we used often. The hotel itself is quite small and the food was basic all inclusive, however there is always something you’ll find to eat. The drinks on the other hand at this hotel were very good and did not taste watered down so that was a bonus. We were lucky with the distance of our room towards the hotel, as we noticed many people having to travel up hill to get to their rooms. Obviously this wouldn’t be ideal if you have small children and individuals with poor mobility as there is a lot of walking involved. Our room overall was very clean and had quiet neighbours. The bathroom was a tight squeeze and our bed was just two singles pushed together to form a ‘double’. There were a few disappointments regarding this hotel, mainly being that there is a wasp problem. There were wasps everywhere surrounding the hotel and was very bad when trying to eat outdoors as the wasps kept landing by food and inside drinks!! When using the soft drinks on tap, there were wasps sitting on top of the machine and were hovering over the plastic cups too. The hotel itself is mostly aimed towards families as there were children everywhere, so not an ideal place if you wanted peace and quiet. The location of the hotel lacks shops and restaurants (unless you travel into the town) as there was only 1 decent restaurant which was next to the beach. For entertainment within the hotel, it was mostly aimed towards children so we didn’t bother watching until after 9pm when there’d be singers on in the night. Do entertainment during the day, there is a boat ride available upon booking right on the beach which was very good. The boat took us right towards Porto Cristo and surrounding areas before taking us back to our hotel. Although it picked up other guests from different areas and hotels, the boat itself had lots of seating upstairs and downstairs.
