Came with a family of 6 for 10 days. Cleanliness amazing. Rooms cleaned daily with fresh towels and bedding. Cleaners very friendly. Always plenty of food but very repetitive as expected with an all inclusive. Be aware of the plates as they get very hot. My husband burnt his hand on a plate which came up in a massive blister luckily it wasn’t a child. Lifts are a nightmare, 3 lifts for the whole hotel and they’re tiny. Not so bad if you’re on the lower floors but horrendous if you need to get to a higher level. The slide pool is lethal. The flooring is not appropriate for children. If you go to the slide pool ensure your child has slip shoes. Several people were falling over and all they’ve put up is wet floor signs. On 1 slide 2 people cracked their heads open and several people had cracked their head open by the side of the pool from slipping, 1 including my daughter who then had to go to the hospital for stitches. Life guards were amazing and dealt with her absolutely amazingly but the flooring is lethal. Main pool is lovely and clean plenty of activities throughout the day but the lifeguards aren’t the greatest. Paying barely any attention on doing their job as they just stand there talking to each other. No inflatables allowed so don’t bring them with you. All your allowed is a baby ring or arms bands which isn’t the greatest but I would bring a first aid kit as we have seen at least 10 people slip just from walking. Due to our daughters accident we brought her a ring that was accepted as she had her head injury and wasn’t allowed to have her head under water. She used this for a week no problems then one day we had a very rude life guard come up to her and told her to get out of the pool as she wasn’t allowed this. We queried this with the manager as we had been using this for a week to then be told they had an inspection and the rules have changed. No notice or signs had been put up to notify guests of this. Will not be returning to this hotel.

Me, my husband and 2 daughters had the best holiday here. The hotel was a great location, walking distance to a lovely beach. The hotel itself was great, room had air con and was clean, the pools and slides were fantastic we spent most days morning until evening around them. The pool opened at 10 and there was ques to get pool side sun beds but we always went after breakfast and found a sun bed a little further back that we didn’t mind. Rooms were cleaned very well daily with fresh towels. And the air con worked fantastic. Food was good and lots of choice. Drinks were good for adults, no squash for kids so brought a bottle of Robinson from shop which was no problem. Entertainment fantastic, kids loved and adult entertainment we loved. Great family hotel and would definitely go back. Fantastic memories made.

A very good hotel. Excellent staff. Very attentive personnel. They always do their best to make sure guests feel comfortable and well taken care of. I especially want to mention the young team members who entertain the children from morning until evening. Each of them deserves praise. They are doing a great job. The reception staff are also very polite. Everything is great in the restaurant as well. The bartenders are hardworking and respectable employees too. Overall, the hotel is very good. I recommend it to anyone who wants to vacation with children. You can confidently come here — I’m writing this review while staying at the hotel.

From the moment we arrived, we felt so welcome! The staff were honestly lovely, super friendly and always happy to help with anything. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, which made such a difference. Massive thank you to Borja who made our stay so special Our room was spotless, the beds were really comfy, and there was loads of closet space so perfect for settling in properly without living out of a suitcase. The hotel itself is as brilliant! We came with our toddler but you could definitely come as a couple! We loved the pool areas with the slides and children’s splash pool! Lots of lifeguards so felt very safe! Plenty of space and no stress about finding a sunbed, which was a massive win! The activity’s were so fun my toddler loved running on the water carpet! The food was lovely! So fresh, loads of choice, and honestly so good that we didn’t even think about eating out. Every meal felt like a treat. Huge thank you to the whole team for making our stay so lovely. We had the best time and made memories we won’t forget. Already thinking about when we can come back

Not so good value for money they charge. Disappointing experiences: 1. It says all inclusive but please be prepared to stay deprived of water, because they don't provide water bottles due to sustainability but don't have enough water refilling stations and the one's available take ages to fill a small bottle. Such a stupid unsustainable practice to make people deprive of water 2. They don't have any live counters for cooking like pasta and NO special restaurants what you get in this price point as a standard. Food in main restaurant is okayish but definitely not worth their pricing for all inclusive. 3. Not enough variety for vegetarians. 4. Long queues for everything from drinks to food to lift.. going from reception to your room takes atleast 20 mins due to very few lifts. 5. Lots of inconvenient practices introduced in the name of sustainability and cost savings for hotel which are unsustainable and are a big disappointment for service like poor water refilling stations, poor pool towels replacement, poor lift availability for high number of rooms, limited dining options compared to competitors as there's only one restaurant, drinks also controlled in all inclusive by limited cups you need to carry around all with yourselves all the time. Positive experiences: 1. Mexican theme dinner - great options and taste 2. Kids club - Great staff. Foam party was too good! Overall, I'd probably not visit this place again for all inclusive unless they do like a big price drop!
