I am writing this review from and English family perspective. We arrived at the hotel at around 3am and the staff were very helpful and friendly. They checked us in very quickly and offered us help with our bags to our room. Our room is perfectly fine for our family (we are two adults and an 8 yr old). We have a sea view double room and it has a double bed and single bed. The facilities in the room are good. We have tea and coffee and a fully stocked fridge every day with water, coke, sprite etc. The food buffet is absolutely fine but not catered for English. The hotel isn’t an English hotel and most of the other families are from other places in the world so nothing here is catered for English. That being said, the food was still nice and could easily find foods that tasted nice. There’s loads of fresh salad and meats with rice and mash potato to eat. The lunch time buffet down at the beach restaurant was our favourite for lunch. They always had kebab chicken or lamb with a large selection of salad with rice or chips which we all loved to eat every day. There’s even a lady that sits down there and make made to order flat breads every day which are really delicious. In the mornings we used the gym and put our towels out on the sunbeds and did this about 7am. We had no trouble getting the beds we wanted everyday. The pool is great and is quite big so enough room for everyone to have fun. They also have daily activities in the pool which looked fun. The pool bar does always have a queue but it goes down pretty quickly and they are very friendly. Cocktails are basic but nice. They also serve beer and all soft drinks including a self service coffee machine. The private beach is lovely and just a short walk down the pathway to get there. They have a bar and snack bar down at the beach too so can still enjoy your all inclusive at the beach. Within the lobby there are a few shops that offer all your designer goods and these seem pretty good. We bought a fair few things from them and the guys that work there are all very friendly. The gym is basic but it was ok to make up a few of your own workouts. We took a taxi up to the shopping centre which cost us 5 euros. The shopping can keep you entertained for hours! If designer clothing, shoes and accessories are your thing, bring a second suitcase as you can get really carried away!
