So this is a review mostly aimed towards animation (entertainment and they also make programs aimed toward kids and other age groups) in my week here I have experienced an amazing group they were really good at welcoming new tourists. During my week they have made entertaining shows and they create an amazing mood everytime they make a show no matter if it’s dancing or alike. Especially the girl animation crew were really good when it came to kids and held mini discos were they danced with the kids and this is just the start multiple times trough the day we experienced entertaining shows and activities that everyone could take part of. All in all the animation team was purely amazing couldn’t have named a better team for their job. If I had to say more about the hotel itself it was nice clean and the staff were werry nice we were always met with respect. I highly recommend this hotel not only for its nice facilities such as pool bar and restaurant but also the animation team especially if you have kids and are looking for a friendly team who is good with kids but also for adults of any age

My review will we focused on the animation team. During my week they have made entertaining shows and they create an amazing mood everytime they make a show no matter if it's dancing or alike. The drinks and the food at the hotel were on top. The cleaning ladies were very nice and changed our stuff every day and also cleaned our rooms. swimming pool was nice and clean. The beach is not close, but theres a shuttle bus.

Had an amazing stay at this hotel this year. I've been every year for over a decade now and for good reason. I have been with friends, with family and in a couple and I was never disappointed

The buffet meals three times a day are more than substantial, a lot of variety for meats and always lots of fresh fruit and vegetables. Free drinks for 12 hours a day, who could possibly dislike that. Rooms were cleaned well and general staff were all friendly.

For such an unbelievably reasonable price I was incredibly impressed with the entire experience. Every year that I go the hotel is renovated and improved even more. The pool is massive and there is lots of deck chair space around it. I would gladly pay three or four times the amount that I did for the same experience.

The only complaint I could possibly give is towards the other tourists at the hotel. I've looked at some of the bad reviews and, though any are inaccurate, they unfortunately do not surprise me. This is because I would often see some very unappreciative people complaining about nothing and being very rude to the staff who were trying their best to respond politely.

All in all, this hotel is an incredible stay and I couldn't recommend enough to anybody looking for a hot summer vacation with family, or friends, or your significant other.

The staff is very rude, food is extremly bad, every day same food, the soup was the same for lunch and dinner for 4 days in a row!!! It’s supposed to be all inclusive, you have 2 types of meat, one type of fish every single day and they repeat it. Can’t talk about the shame of what they call “ pasta” ..If you want to ruin your holiday go to this hotel. The beach is very far from the hotel if you have kids with buggies. Was not worth 1€ this hotel.. it’s a pity for the nice beaches and the atmosphere.. would not go back to this hotel even if it was for free!

Very "lazy" cleaning ladies. Did nothing but giving us new towels for 7 days. Didn't even fold the bedsheets once. Had to ask reception for toilet paper because they didn't leave any. Pool water was dirty for 3 days before they manage to do something about it. Pool area WAY too small for the hotel. You have to put towel down no later than 6:30 to secure a spot in the sun. All drinking water dispensers gave lukewarm water the entire week. Extremely uncomfortable (and only 2) chairs at the rooms balcony. The All Inclusive bar at the pool area closed already at afternoon, despite it being a cozy area where people hangout in the evening aswell, so you had to do a 2 minute walk into the inside bar in order to get something to drink in the evening.

Only 1 extra star because All Inclusive and WiFi was decent.

The hotel base is good. Location is ok, it's a little bit far from the beach, but have every 30 minutes shuttle bus. The restaurant and bars quallity is 5/5. The pool parts is big and clean. The hotel animation is interesting because they made a lot of games, and have mini club for kids. They have different night shows. The rooms equipment is new.
Maybe perfect hotel for all ages!

I was amazed by how comfortable this hotel is. The food was delicious and the rooms were clean and really comfy. Even the beach isn’t that far away and the location is nice and chill. Responsible for our mood were the hotel animator and they were amazing. The activities were creative and the night shows and the music were great. Our kids enjoyed the animation the most and the vacation turned out great!
