Nice hotel, lovely staff, amazing entertainment team Beautiful place to stay. Amazing pool, gorgeous beach, wonderful staff, good food, fantastic entertainment team. The hotel isn’t equivalent to a 4* UK. Furniture and furnishings are a bit worn and basic, however it was very clean. Plenty of storage space. The beds were very firm and the pillows were awful. The shower worked well. Complementary toiletries. We had two rooms, one had a fridge and the other didn’t. The AC isn’t very good, it does make a bit of difference but not much. Plugs need UK to E adapter. No safe in either room. Wi-Fi Hotel reception and atrium is the only place we could pick up the Wi-Fi. The WiFi is free. The hotel has some beautiful architectural features especially in the reception area. The hotel is horseshoe shaped so most rooms have a view of the pool/ sea and have a balcony equipped with a table, two chairs and a drying rack. Pool towels available to hire, refundable charge 20D per towel (cash) Entertainment team were fantastic. Really friendly and lots of fun. A big thank you to Marissa & Aqua Gym guy. Huge amount of fun. Activities included- Archery, bowls, pool games, volleyball, aqua gym, step aerobics, line dancing, evening entertainment, pool table and air hockey (1D coin) We never found the advertised tennis courts. On the beach there are water sports available for a charge. Paid in cash. Excursions available, quad bikes, camel caravan, a day on a pirate ship. Paid in cash. Spa treatments available- chargeable, in cash. The pool is an amazing size with a section for children, an infinity pool which was also used for aqua gym and a separate baby pool with slides Pool side could do with a few more umbrellas and sun beds. Everyday we faced the sun bed challenge. To get a sun bed by the pool with an umbrella we were getting up at 6am. The beach beds were already claimed by then. The beach is beautiful, you can walk for miles, the sea is crystal clear. Food: Large dining room for breakfast, lunch and dinner. All meals were buffet. Breakfast- continental meats, cheeses, cereal, fruit, yogurt, pancakes, croissants, continental sausage, potato and more. Lunch and dinner were very similar- Salad bar, fries, rice, fritters, pasta bar, pizza station, grill/ fryer for fish, meat, Brik, squid. Drinks: Breakfast: coffee, hot water, milk, tea bags, water, juice. The lobby bar opened 9am - 11pm for water, coffee, cocktails, wine, beer, spirits. The beach bar served water, coffee, beer, Food available 6am-10pm, Alcoholic drinks from 9am - 11pm All the staff were friendly and worked tirelessly. Can’t commend them enough. The housekeepers, chefs, waiters, lifeguards, security & the entertainment team all worked non stop. We flew into Enfidia airport which was a two hour taxi transfer.

“Nothing special”

Been there September 2023. It’s an ok hotel, especially if you compare the price and the quality you get for that price. Lobby is amazing and beautiful, receptionists are nice. Rooms are spacious and clean. Terrace door couldn’t close properly, but is wasn’t a big problem since we were on the 4th... more

Been there September 2023. It’s an ok hotel, especially if you compare the price and the quality you get for that price. Lobby is amazing and beautiful, receptionists are nice. Rooms are spacious and clean. Terrace door couldn’t close properly, but is wasn’t a big problem since we were on the 4th floor. Also there was no safe nor fridge/minibar in the room. There is one adult pool, consisting of 3 smaller pools, and really small children’s pool. The beach is nice, a bit small for the number of guests, since you can’t get a sun bed if you come after 8-8:30am. There are so many shells, it’s beautiful. There is a main restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner and one smaller restaurant near the beach, open only for lunch and afternoon snack. Food is great, both taste and the variety. Main con are the bars - there is only a lobby bar and a beach bar. Although there are Coca Cola soda machines, they are not working, so the staff pours from the bottles. Also, almost never there was real Coca Cola, but instead of which they served something called ‘Boga Cola’, which tasted really bad. Also, beach bar is pretty bad, since they are always short on something (or everything). Every day they run out of beer, sometimes at 4pm, sometimes at noon, and one day they didn’t even have it from the start. So you have to go all the way to the lobby bar to get a drink. Also, they pour beer in paper cups (like for coffee to go) and you get maybe 1dl in a cup, so it was quite annoying. And one day all you could get from the beach bar was water and strawberry and lemon juice. Animation team is nice, they try and do their best to keep people entertained. The children’s playground is small and not maintained (for example, one of the 2 swings was missing), also not the cleanest place, since there were cigarette buds around. It’s an old hotel, still nice, but my impression is that it is run poorly by the management. I doubt I would come back again
