This is going to be a long review as I'll go through everything in detail, so buckle up ☺️ My partner and I have been very stressed after a difficult time and, although, before we departed, I worried we wouldn't be able to fully relax in a hotel, I was so wrong. This hotel is great for a relaxing break while still being family friendly. FIRST IMPRESSIONS The hotel is spotlessly clean and the staff are incredibly friendly. The lobby is lovely. The atmosphere is very chill, and even though it was fairly busy, I never felt overwhelmed or rushed. I would 100% recommend this hotel to get away from the stresses of life. CHECK IN Check in was very easy. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. I wish the All Inclusive element was explained a little better, as there are bronze, silver and gold options which confused us later in our stay. ROOM We booked a Superior Junior Suite in the Zensation building. Please be aware this is NOT a suite with a separate bedroom and living space, it is just a normal room, but very nice all the same. We had a balcony overlooking the main pool which was lovely. Again very clean. The Superior Junior Suites and Zensation Suites are the only rooms that have air-conditioning. We didn't use it very much as it was cooler in October, but I can imagine in the height of summer, the rooms without Aircon may be unbearable. The Superior Junior Suite came with towelling robes and slippers which were a little touch of luxury. We were HUGELY impressed with the soundproofing on the room. It might not sound like a big concern to many, but after staying in echoey hotel rooms previously, where every shuffle, clang, cough and bang can be heard from your neighbour, this was an absolute blessing. We had a very young baby in the room next to us and barely heard her. Once the patio doors were closed and sealed, it was so quiet. Perfect for relaxing! ROOF TERRACE WITH INFINITY POOL Our room came with free access to the Zensation rooftop terrace. This is included with all Superior Junior Suites and Zensation Suites. This was the most relaxing part of the holiday and our stay wouldn't have been the same without it. It is possible to buy passes at a cost of €10 per person per day if access isn't included in your booking already. Sun loungers were always available on the rooftop terrace (the ones by the main pool were all claimed by around 9am), so it took the stress out of the morning. No kids either which was a huge bonus (even though kids are allowed up there). If you can get one of the Bali beds, please do because they are incredibly comfortable and the ultimately luxurious way to lay by the pool. The bar was fab, 6 cocktails to choose from and a small selection of spirits. The pool is NOT heated so was a little chilly on the cloudier days, but a welcome cool plunge on the hot days. My only wish is the roof terrace was open longer. It is closed and locked between 5pm and 11am - a huge shame. I would have loved a quite drink up there in the evenings like I've had in other hotels previously. ALL INCLUSIVE - FOOD The food quality was absolutely fantastic. Much exceeded my expectations. It was very easy to eat healthily, with lots of fish, seafood and a huge salad bar. Different main courses and desserts each day, with pizza and burgers being available every day. The wood fired pizza was very very nice and made in front of you. We ate in the premium restaurant one night and had a ribeye steak. It was nice, but I preferred the main buffet restaurant so wouldn't pay to access the premium restaurant again if it wasn't included in my room already. Meal times are 8-10am, 1-3pm and 6.30-10pm with some very limited biscuits and miniture sandwiches from the bar in between. There is also a vending machine. If you're arriving after 10pm, as we did, there is NO food available except from the vending machine, so factor this in. ALL INCLUSIVE - DRINKS As part of the all inclusive, there is one beer available on tap. The beer taps are self service and aren't marked as beer so it took us a while to actually find them. There is one in the main restaurant and one in the main pool bar. You can also order the beer from any of the bars. There is a house white, red and rose included as well as sangria. The beer and wine isn't mentioned on the all inclusive menu, but is definitely available. There are 6 cocktails also included in all inclusive, which are made fresh to order (not the awful sickly cocktails from a tap). I would recommend the Pineapple Playa. Other non-menu items I had were white rum with strawberry slush, and vodka with lemon slush, once I realised they were included in the all inclusive too. The bit that confused us was the spirit menus. There was a bronze, silver and gold menu with spirits on, with a small amount of spirits 'free', but most paid, with different prices for each spirit on the different menus. The printed menu prices were different to the menu prices on the website, and some menus had different options on. Very very confusing to understand what was and wasn't included in the all inclusive, so we were a nervous about racking up a big bill by accident. I think the drink offering needs to be streamlined a little more and presented with improved clarity. SPA We paid to use the spa for an hour (€15 per person per hour) and had a lovely time. It comprises a sauna, steam room, small heated pool, cold plunge, and hot and cold showers. One hour was plenty in the spa for us. Our only suggestion would be to add a clock, as we needed to be out by 5pm to get our massages but didn't know what time it was while we were in there. We booked a 30 min massage each (€40 per person). The masseuses were lovely. In total we spent €110 on an hour's spa and a massage each, which was lovely but probably wouldn't do again. EVENING ENTERTAINMENT The evening entertainment appears to rotate weekly. Some acts were really great, if a little cheesy, like the Elvis tribute, but that's what these hotels are all about, right? We gave the entertainment a miss most nights in favour of sitting on a Bali bed by the main pool, snuggled up watching a film on our tablet. The perfect way to spend an evening - drink in hand, under the stars. SURROUNDING AREA The hotel was one of the first stops on the airport shuttle which was very handy. We got a taxi to Grandes Playas, the most famous beach, which cost around €9 each way. The beach was absolutely stunning. However, if you go a bit further towards the airport, the beach is less busy and the sand is even whiter and softer, so I would recommend doing that. 5 mins from the hotel is a very small shopping complex with cute little independent shops, a Hiper Dino supermarket and a few restaurants and bars. 10 mins further on from that is a bigger shopping area with some outlet shops, a Burger King, etc... CHECK OUT Check out was at 11 and very easy. We were allowed to continue using the all inclusive as normal until we left for the airport at 5.30pm. Our case was securely stored for us by reception staff. OVERALL A fantastic hotel in a fantastic location, offering superb value for money. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend and look forward to visiting again in future.

“Very nice 4* hotel”

As expected…. Lovely hotel, very clean and nice varied food options. Not all rooms have air conditioning which we knew about but still disappointing for a hotel of such stature. Would stay again

“A decent stay in Correlejo ”

This was our 1st time in Correlejo, and we were happy with our choice of hotel. Plus points - Decent sized rooms. We had a suite, so the boy had his own room. Animation team during the day were great, a mixture of activities for all ages. Zensation restaurant was good. We managed to get in there … more

This was our 1st time in Correlejo, and we were happy with our choice of hotel. Plus points - Decent sized rooms. We had a suite, so the boy had his own room. Animation team during the day were great, a mixture of activities for all ages. Zensation restaurant was good. We managed to get in there two nights during our weeks stay. What could be better - Evening bar area was not for us. Felt like a youth club from the 1980's. Having to give your room number when getting drinks from the bar... still cannot understand why the hotel needs to track what my family have consumed drinks-wise (which was little to be fair) We were going to pay extra for the all inclusive plus, and glad we didn't. I really did not see what added extras we'd have had. I did speak with a few people during our stay that had the all inc plus package and were disappointed with what they got for it.
