1st time in Spain with my husband and our 2 grandaughters aged 9yrs& 7yrs. First impressions were ok, we arrived by coach and got dropped of at bus stop on main road. Coach was full so checkin took about 40mins.. We were all inclusive and had to pay €10 each for the wrist band on checkin, this was refunded on checkout when you gave wrist bands back.. We were in room 430(4th floor) (2 double beds). Rooms were spacious and modern, the bathroom was fabulous except the walk in shower screen was not big enough and water was always leaking under door into the room. Coffee/tea making facilities, fridge, safe ect in room. Hairdryer in bathroom was pretty good too. Lots of storage. we had the view of the sea on one side and the town and mountains on the other side from the balcony. Pools were great and kids loved them but very cold. Animation team were great with the kids and aquaarobics were very enthusiastic and energetic. Not enough sunbeds though. Drink were the best all inclusive we've ever had, beer was lovely, crisps,nuts,icecreams available throughout the day. slushies too for the kids. The only negative was the food was very hit and miss it was coming to end of season so not as much choice unless you like fish.

Just back from a beautiful 7 days at this resort Our room was too perfect and cleaned everyday by the wonderful staff it! It had a kettle and safe which was both included and not extra Pool area was very nice and the kids loved it pool was cold as it was not heated but to be expected for October and when the sun came out it soon heated up Food was wonderful every day was different and easily 4/5 meals on offer kids were happy with what they could go up and choose I can see that this hotel could be a bit troublesome when at full capacity so be weary of this All in all a wonderful family hotel with memory’s we will treasure thanks to the hotel and staff!

This is not a 4* hotel. I’ve been in 3* better than this. The room was very nice as it had been refurbished as was the dining room.Be ware not all rooms have been refurbished. Unfortunately the food was not that good even though was able to find something to eat each day even if it was the same as the day before. Towards the end of our stay we heard the dining room staff say they were just using up the food they had. On 1/11/24 the hotel was over run with Spanish people for a Halloween show. These people took priority which wasn’t fair when we had paid a lot of money for the holiday. Also didn’t like it that dogs were allowed in when the Spanish people came. Ice cream ran out for the kids. The reception reminded us of being in cell block H prison. Very dark and dismal. Nothing outside the hotel for entertainment may be due to end of season. Was in a good position with a gate through onto the beach. Pool area ok but could do with more sun beds and new parasols. Pool very cold. We won’t be going again .? We couldn’t fault the staff as they all worked very hard.
