Just back from a lovely stay at the grand hotel. We found the staff very friendly and helpful. The entertainment guys were very good. Especially enjoyed water aerobics in the morning and afternoon with Joanna and the water stretches with the other guy. Evening entertainment was ok. We found the food good and very varied. The only downside for me was the plastic backed mattress cover. I would recommend this hotel the pool area is really nice and relaxing.

“Best Entertainment”

A great hotel if you like jam packed entertainment. Most of the staff were friendly and attentive - slow service at reception but due to the fact we only had to see them on arrival and departure we were not too fussed. Michele was the most fabulous barman, very attentive, knew what us and all the other guest drinks were after only being there for a day :) What made our holiday were the games and activities. Goran, Cedric and Alexis were such characters and we had such a laugh with them. They all encouraged us and the other guests to participate but also did not put pressure on you if you did not want to. Cedric and Alexis were fully of energy and gave a great vibe to the hotel - there was never a dull moment. They are both keen on winning the games, whether it was water volleyball, darts or ping pong - it was hilarious when they lost! Goran was more calm and did yoga sessions which lots of the guests loved. What is nice is there was something for everyone. The hotel was generally clean and well presented with a lovely snug area on the balcony overlooking the pool-nice for pre-dinner drinks. The only let down was the food. I do not expect gourmet food but for a 4* hotel I expect more than what was served. We soon realised breakfast was the best meal so we filled our faces then to ensure we didn't have to eat much of the other food. We just drank and enjoyed the entertainment which meant the food didn't matter so much! Overall a great experience and would recommend this hotel.

If looking for a relaxing vibe with some fun then totally recommend! The bar staff were friendly and helpful, Michelé especially was great at entertaining when making drink! Lots of fun. The pool and pool bar was very nice, quick and friendly service from Angeles and never had to wait for a sun bed. There were three guys that encouraged playing games by the pool, darts, table tennis, Aqua fun and much more. Cedric and Alexis were full of smiles and bought lots of energy, Goran had more relaxed feel if that was what you need and did lots of yoga. It was great to get involved with it all but you also don’t have to, they had great energy. The entertainment in the evening was just as entertaining and full of energy! The food at the hotel was not that great, it did the job but I expect more from a 4*. Also disappointing to pay €15 for the spa for 2 hours. Bad communication between the spa and reception, reception told us we can change the pool towels each day, the spa tell you to keep them. The cleaners always did a great job. All in all it was a great holiday. The highlights was the drinking, the bar staff but mostly the entertainment, even to just watch it was so much fun. My sister and I haven’t laughed and smiled like that in a long time!

Sadly our 10 days are over and after seeing mixed reviews this is how we felt. Firstly what kind of holiday are you looking? High energy, local pubs, shopping, disco's party party then go elsewhere. We were looking a total chill out holiday with good weather and good pools and certainly not disappointed. The pools were brilliant especially the large heated one, no rushing for sunbeds as plentiful. Pool bar first class and friendly. The rooms are comfortable, spacious with flat screen TV. Downside only ITV English speaking channel. We thoroughly enjoyed the all-inclusive food, fish and turkey were my favorites. We were disappointed the spa was extra but an amazing spa, cost €15 each for 2hrs. Local few shops about one mile downhill so uphill back but taxi available if required. Local bus service excellent. Area is very hilly, great for walking only if plenty of energy. So if you're looking a total chill out holiday in the sun you won't be disappointed.
