We enjoyed our stay and would consider returning. Positives: good location, great spacious rooms in the sea view suite, fantastic breakfast, lunch and dinner. Staff were friendly and helpful. Shuttle runs to town free of charge. Only negatives are: Not all-inclusive, only small selection of standard drinks and 2/3 cocktails. Paid entry into a small indoor pool, 4 person hot tub and sauna facilities. Gym is tiny but modern, fits about 2/3 people. A little smell in the rooms we believe from drains, although other than that super clean and smells lovely in hallways. Relatively expensive massages for what you get.

I booked this hotel based on the "all-inclusive" description as advised by Expedia. Upon arrival, I was notified that the all-inclusive option was not part of the offer, as "all-inclusive" was simply the name of the hotel! The manager advised that if we wanted the all-inclusive package—which is not usually offered during this peak time—an exception could be made at an additional charge per day. I expressed my concern about this being misleading advertising, and the manager stated that Expedia would need to be contacted regarding the misrepresentation. Can you please advise?

An amazing all inclusive hotel. Staff very friendly and professional. Food options on the bufet changed every time, even from lunch to dinner. Great selection of drinks, cocktails and fresh natural juices at the bar. The only minus for us, was that we had to pay to use the indoor pool that in our opinion should be included, specially if you have to pay every day you want to go there. Parking on site is plenty, and they have a free minibus shuttle service that will take you to the old town. We will defenatly come back.

The staff were fantastic, very friendly and helpful. The food and all inclusive perks were ideal. The room could have had more lighting. This was caused by only having one power socket on each side of the bed. So, the bed side lamps had to be unplugged for our phones. An extension lead would have sorted this. Was a lovely stay. Thank you.
