Having just returned from a few days away, this hotel is perfect if you are wanting some peace and quiet but still want to explore the area. We found that not being close to the marina was better, as it was quiet and very well located. Whilst not being golfers, it was clear the hotel was very popular for those who enjoy golf. Every member of the team were helpful and only too happy to help. During our stay, we enjoyed breakfast, lunch and dinner and without exception, every meal was excellent. The service and menu variety was very good. Drinks and wine were plentiful and again a very good selection. The prices were as you would expect for a hotel of this standard. The pools and sunbeds were very good and the pool areas kept very clean. There were always plenty of sun beds available. Having read some comments re the pools, there were some areas that need addressing but this has been mentioned before and clear that the hotel have plans to address in the off season. The room was perfectly clean and air conditioning very good. Despite not being required, towels were changed every day and room kept perfectly clean. We used uber several times and never had to wait more than a few minutes and the journey time to the marina was about 6 minutes. Very convenient and around 5 euro each way. The hotel buss was very popular. Journey time from the airport was 25 minutes. We had a room that overlooked the exterior and found this perfect.

We had such an amazing holiday and it being special as it was our first family holiday with our baby girl. The hotel staff were pleasant and attentive and the hotel was very clean. We had a family room which was huge, had two parts of the room, so more than enough space. The food was amazing in all the restaurants that we ate in. We opted for bed and breakfast and was not disappointed. We ate at the pool bar every day, we shared a burger or sandwich and it was more than enough to get us through till dinner. We also ate at the pool restaurant for dinner and again was pleased with our food. You can get snacks in the Rubi bar, which we ended up doing when we arrived, this was around 9.30pm. The bar is open till 10.30 We had pizza and chicken strips and was delicious. There is also a fine dining restaurant. We went to the marina every night accept one night, we found two restaurants close to the hotel one called willies which is fine dining and the other was cafe del arte, which we booked and was so pleased we did, as the food was incredible. We ate at the Spicy Thai, El Patron and O’Marisco at the Marina and was happy with our meals. There is a Spa shop if you wanted to buy water etc which is a 10/15 minute walk, the same route to get to marina. The hotel offers a shuttle bus every day and night but for selected hours so after 9.30pm you would either have to walk back or get an Uber. Make sure you have the Uber app ( really easy to use and costs €5). The walk to the hotel is about 20/25 mins and is a nice lit up walk along the pavement, the only thing we found annoying was the pavements. They were bumpy paving slabs (although looked pretty) this was not pram friendly, so we carried our daughter in the baby carrier for the majority of the walk until we got to the marina, or from the marina back, if we missed the bus. I booked a massage in the spa which was beautiful, Janina gave me a deep tissue massage and it really was incredible, very good pressure and came out feeling very relaxed. My partner, played a round of golf, for €108 which included club hire and balls. There are 3 golf courses, one on the resort and the other two close by. The swimming pools were lovely, water a little cold but baby got used to it. They also have an indoor pool which was also good for baby and two other pools, which we didn’t go in. We had such a great time at this hotel and would definately stay again. Perfect for couples, families, stags and girlie holidays. There were a real mix in the hotel. Thank you for making our stay really enjoyable.

Stayed at this hotel before and was a lot better then. Full of families. Now it’s full of loud golfers and music blasting around the pool area. Not peaceful in any way. The breakfast is ok. Last time it was much better. The staff seem mainly miserable and check you out like the police as to whether you have registered on your way in for breakfast. Never had an experience like that before. So sadly I won’t be returning to this hotel. Not the cleanest outside either. Around the pool area same old rubbish from the day before. Hope you get it back to how it was. I know it had a different manager last time. Maybe that’s why !!!!
