Views are gorgeous, room is beautiful. However the resort is very isolated and the only food options are truly awful. The food provided is inedible and expensive. Staff have been very kind and welcoming. Overall would not recommend.
Saulė Gedvilaitė
The rooms, the hotel view, and the exterior scenery are all stunning. However, the food was disappointing and barely edible.
From the reviews, it's clear that many guests have complained about the poor food quality, and it seems the management is not addressing these issues. If the hotel continues with this approach, it might drop from a 4-star to a 3- or even 2-star rating. Based on our experience, we believe this resort is at most a 3-star and are quite disappointed.
The staff were friendly, smiling, and pleasant.
We purchased an all-inclusive package, but were surprised to find that we still had to pay for certain drinks, ice cream, snacks, and some non-alcoholic beverages. Additionally, a swim cap is required to use the indoor pool, which is an extra cost not covered by the all-inclusive package. We expected that with an all-inclusive plan, such amenities would be included so that guests could enjoy their stay without additional expenses.
The resort may be suitable for families with young children (ages 1 to 8/9), but if you are traveling without kids or with older children, it may not be the best choice.
We expected more from this resort and are very disappointed. Even though we are still here, we won’t be returning and cannot recommend it.

Perfect for short vacation. Value for money. food is good.
Business is built on aditional purchases. Safe 3.6 Eur/day, miniclub 6eur/hour, spa/pool 16 eur/hour.

You can simply see it and feel it, that this hotel has come to end of its life circle.
It needs full renovation, simple as that.

By far the worst food ever had at an all inclusive. To say how big the hotel is the choice of food and quality of food I wouldn't feed my dog. Lower your expectations if you're coming for quality. The desserts are all good but the mains are very poor. I imagine prison food nit being this bad.
Rooms are reasonable size and the veranda had alot of good space. The hotel is well over due a revamp and bringing up to recent times.
The pool areas are all good but they sell inflatables and you can't even use them in the kids pool. You have to go over the road to the water park if u want to use a inflatable.
The all inclusive bar is OK but the cocktails all being pre made and put in a jug a pina colada is more like warm pineapple syrup. Not alot of choice on the cocktails either.
