The staff has informed us that will need to pay tourism tax if it's not book by local. Got baby stool chair. Free to watch cartoon or disney movie, no youtube. Provide buggy service to beach. Clean, free parking, staffs friendly, food ok. Cons: It's will be good if kids playing area are free.

Overall an OK stay. Property could be better up-kept. Cleanliness wise still OK. Staffs were very friendly. More suitable for family stays instead of couples without children. Breakfast was just average.

Pool and pool bar needs work

Good size room with sea view. All areas clean and well staffed. Pool bar menu - many drinks and food out of stock (due to us arriving after a public holiday). Food that was available wasn’t great. Nice cocktails Pool had tiles missing at the bottom, which made it sharp and not great for kids. According to pool side staff, the reason for loud distorted bass levels with the music is because it’s ’hard Rock’…. Music was good just bass too loud to be able to have a conversation. Evening entertainment- the band are good, drinks reasonable price and service great. We found a great Italian restaurant across the road at The Westin for dinner.

The stay was amazing. Unfortunately the superior double had 2 super singles instead of 2 queen beds which was what I expected. The hotel did compensate by giving us free entry to the water park so I think it’s alright. The rest of the stay was amazing with amazing service!
