Pros:Beautiful location, spacious rooms and amazing swimming pools (infinity and lazy river). Hotel offers stunning bay views even in 'partial sea view' rooms. All places clean with exotic plants and tropical plants, excellent and very well maintain.Spa facilities very pleasant with nice and welcoming staff. Overall gardens, cliff top location and swimming pools made our stay worth-while. Cons:Food very average, repetitive and tasteless, some seafood, pastas, occassional international dishes - choice limited overall - much below any 4 star hotels we visited before. Meats hard or overcooked, salads very limited. Snack bar very limited - some basic crisps, icecream and peanuts on offer, drinks ok however coctails need a supplement paid. Evening entertainment far from desired, only flamenco show was interesting. Staff speak very basic English, so sometimes communication was tricky. Service feels very impersonal. No medical staff or support on-site.

Breakfast was good but could be a little chaotic at busy times. Would prefer more non-buffet options at lunchtime (the bar does have a small but acceptable menu). Loved the golf, table tennis, chess, entertainment (all free). Rooms were very good & clean. Parking could be a bit tricky to find a space. Not impossible- just could take a while. Staff all very helpful in all areas. Pool areas were good - but outdoor pools were cold (end of May/early June). Overall, good value and somewhere I’d recommend to friends
 but probably wouldn’t return because I prefer to visit restaurants outside the hotel rather than all-in experience.

Nice staff, good pool facilities. A bit dated on the dining and bedroom facilities but well maintained. Location is a beautiful view and easy access to beaches and about a 15minute Mediterranean walk to restaurants. Two issues need addressing: 1) poor wifi that is throttled and denies streaming 2) gym was mediocre and did not have any ventilation
but I was happy to have it!

Disappointed

Was massively disappointed by the service. We felt cheated by the prices at the hotel for very mediocre food and drink. Seems you are ok if you are all inclusive but we were not and made to feel priced out of using the hotel facilities.

Not disabled friendly

Hotel is really clean and well looked after but we booked an accessible room which when we got there was informed there none available. We tried to get the wheelchair through the bathroom door but it just didn’t fit - as my stepdaughter is unable to stand we had to take her home to her mum that same day. We did book last minute but the hotel should have contacted us to advise us they didn’t have the room available and we would have cancelled

Das Personal ist super und absolut liebenswert. Schönes Hotel mit super Lage. Das Essen ist nicht Spitzenklasse, geht aber. Zur Halbpension bekommt man jetzt GetrĂ€nke, dafĂŒr haben sie aber an der Bar etc. Ganz schön die Preise erhöht. Am Pool ist es wegen den französischen Animateuren ziemlich laut, den ganzen Tag lĂ€uft nervtötende Musik (vor allem jeden Tag das selbe TamTam). Das ist echt schade, wir gehen seit Jahren in dieses Hotel, dies hat sich leider nicht zum Vorteil entwickelt. Aber die Lage und das Hotel an sich machen das wieder wett.

Inte familjevÀnligt

Marknadsför sig familjevĂ€nligt, det Ă€r det inte.. Orkar inte skriva allting, personalen var trevlig men ledningen mĂ„ste ge personalen bĂ€ttre förutsĂ€ttningar för att göra ett bĂ€ttre jobb. Orkar inte skriva allt, men ett par exempel. LĂ„na en vinöppnare till rummet, fanns inte och gĂ„r inte, utan man fĂ„r ta med sig vinflaskan till baren sĂ„ fĂ„r de öppna dĂ€r. Äta nĂ„got vid poolen? Typ pommes eller nĂ„got litet till barnen, nej det gĂ„r inte, utan dĂ„ ska man hasa med sig hela familjen och Ă€ta buffĂ© inomhus. Finns fler saker att anmĂ€rka gĂ€llande familjevĂ€nlighet..
