“Amazing stay. Would go again!”

We had a great stay here! I’m surprised there’s any bad reviews on here to be honest! We arrived late, around 10pm and the check in was very quick. The staff gave us some sandwiches and fruit and advised us of all the timings for the meals. The rooms were clean and spacious. When we requested for a clean, the bedding and towels were always changed and the room was spotless. The food was great. The breakfast was a little repetitive but the food was still lovely. The lunches and dinners were brilliant. We particularly liked the Mexican and Chinese themed nights. The soft drinks were lovely. The drinks for the all inclusive were also lovely - we enjoyed lots of frozen strawberry daiquiris and pina coladas. The portions were very generous! We read lots of reviews that we would need to queue for sun beds but we didn’t at all. We were a group of 5 but never once had to queue for a sun bed, only just waited by the gate when we knew it was going to open at 9:50. There were maybe 1 or 2 people queueing for the beds. A couple of times throughout the week, we were out until the afternoon and still got a sunbed when we came back, although they usually did not have an umbrella as they were all being used at that time. We enjoyed the entertainment the nights we attended. We especially loved the cabaret night on the Monday and silent disco on the Sunday! There’s lots of bars and pubs nearby if we wanted to try something else too. Most days and nights, there was a man who set up a stall selling bags and a lady selling jewellery which was nice! We were told conflicting information about the pool tables being open. Staff told us it closed after dinner but then saw somebody using it at 10pm. We used the luggage storage room with the adjoining showers on our last day which was really helpful and clean! Overall, we had a really lovely time

“Great Bargain All Inclusive”

I really do not know why this place gets bad reviews. We arrived late and was given food , sandwich apple pear and bottle of water, admitted not the best, was given wrong room but rectified the next day, No problem.

I really do not know why this place gets bad reviews. We arrived late and was given food , sandwich apple pear and bottle of water, admitted not the best, was given wrong room but rectified the next day, No problem. This time of year was plenty of sunbeds, although you had people at gates there really was no need. Food was good always something to eat, staff friendly. The drinks were best we have ever had for an all inclusive, Rooms are spacious, we had a great time, It is not on a steep hill so no huffing and puffing to get back to hotel after going to beach, which is 10 min walk. Entertainment was hit and miss but we had some really good nights in the hotel, if you don't want to stay simply pop down road where there is plenty going on. Yes we would most definantley come back. The lay out is a bit odd and underpass to back pool could do with a make over . Add a few plants and cool lighting maybe, Appearance of Hotel could do with a coat of paint, but having said that it is a great bargain all inclusive Hotel.

Came away for a week with my partner, arrived late and was given a sandwich, fruit and bottle of water as we missed tea, nice gesture. Room very spacious, clean on arrival, bathroom in my opinion needs updating and better shower heads. Shower going hot and cold so never had just a hot shower always went cold for at least 5 minutes We stayed for 7 days and our room was not cleaned at all during our stay, only had fresh towels once. When I asked reception about cleaning the room it was only cleaned on request by us, but we were not aware of that. Pool areas okay, plenty of sun-beds always got one every day. Throughout the day it got messy around the sun-beds with cups, plates ect. I understand people should put them on the trolleys provided for dirty cups and plates but some didn’t, maybe have someone go round and collect throughout the day so can keep it clean and tidy. Sun-beds cleaned every night so ensure clean for next day. Snack bar good food throughout the day and drinks good, could have done with a bar at the main pool in my opinion as always busy. All inclusive food - good. Fajitas we had one night were lovely, rest of nights were also good. Overall a good week away, would probably not return.

We arrived around 9.30 pm ,Check in was straight forward and was given a bag containing sandwiches fruit and water. Room big and spacious and lovely view overlooking back pool and we could see the sea.Restaraunt food ok but did eat out a few times. Breakfast was a bit repetitive. Snack bar had hotdogs/pizzas/ fries but i wouldn't recommend the burgers. Most of the staff friendly throughout the hotel. Drinks local liquor but beer/spirits and cocktails are fine, you have to pay though after 11pm. Location great, bus stop just outside to Los cristianos 15mins away and Bus to Lora Park and Siam park 5mins down the road, outside Fannabe plaza. Beach 10mins down a slight hill but nothing we couldn't handle.Lots of bars,shops and restaurants.. Recommend the Indian restaurant next door food spot on.. On a down note the rooms were not cleaned properly as there was dust/hairs and sand in our rooms. Cleaner came at 9am then never came back,as we we're just getting up.. oh and there's no cleaners Thursday or Sundays.. Kids entertainment thoughtout the day and Evening disco really good but Evening Entertainment though was awful. Be prepared to que for sunbeds as people queing as early as 8am and gates not open til 10am..Overall had an average stay with my partner and boys aged 10 and 16..
