The pool and restaurant is great however our room had mould through the bathroom including on the hand basin in the bathroom and the phone was disconnected so you couldn’t call reception for any assistance. There was no drinking water in the room, the kettle was not cleaned and the floors were dirty.

Good spot for airport transfer. Be aware they rent the pool and restaurant out to all and sundry, so the purported ‚ resort‘ vibe can be easily killed off with three kid’s birthday parties taking up the pool and an adult party in the restaurant.
