Not the best experience the restaurant is like a cattle market as a party of 12 with 4 rooms 6 of our party had sickness and diarrhoea, lots of others had said they had experienced the same, went to reception to get clean sheets and asked if bug was travelling through the hotel told “no only 2/3 rooms!!” The rooms were comfortable and good housekeeping, I would avoid the restaurant at all cost! We where all inclusive and ended up eating out more as was not happy with the hygiene in the restaurant.

We went with 10 adults. We could check in early and receive our bands early which was a bonus. And even though check out was 12 we could stay in the hotel until 6. One room requested laye check out for 40 euro. Most of the staff were amazing. Really friendly and helpful. We only had one issue with a man an reception at night time. Very rude. The drinks were plentiful. Cocktails are premixed. Everything was clean. My only complaint is the food. We aren't fussy eaters but everyone in our group commented on it. Pizzas were always undercooked. Food was quite cold. The snacks seemed to be left overs from breakfast and lunch.

Ignore all the poor reviews! My wife's been fretting for weeks about our stay because of the bad reviews lately - from our experience they're unwarranted. Is this a 4 star hotel like that in the UK? No. Is there anything bad about this hotel? Not so far. Rooms are a big enough size, clean, semi modern. Communal areas are clean and tidy, easy enough to get your way around. Beach is a 3 minute walk away with pedalos, loungers etc for hire. Food has been amazing for every meal we've had - far more choice than any hotel we've ever stayed in before. Drink measures are insane and plenty to keep the kids going in between main meals. Staff have all been pleasant and accommodating. That's about all you need from a holiday! Ignore all the Karen's leaving poor reviews - they're the same people who would complain if you paid off their mortgage for them. If you're in any doubt - book! For what we have paid for flights and accomodation this is our best value holiday of all time.

The pools, the kids club,the bar with the cocktails, the cheese quality in the buffet were very good.. Unfortunately the negative things about this hotel are more than enough.. The room was not good cleaned every day. The door in the bathroom was destroyed because of the mold. The floor in the balcony was dirty and they wouldn't cleaned it as long we were there.. The food in the buffet was not good enough for the prize of the staying, many things were frozen or used the previous days. The only fresh foods was where the chefs were cooking(fish, meat) The kid's food (chicken nuggets, potato nuggets, spinat nuggets etc were fried, burned almost every time,and really cheap quality)We can buy those stuff from the market.. The juices (orange pineapple) were too sweet and bad quality too.Not drinkable.. When you stay in a huge hotel with 12 floors it is normal that the quality will not be so good but we didn't know that it was so big and full of people. Too noisy in all dinners and dinners show.. It's not our style,and we will not go back. There are plenty of hotels with good activities for kids more quiet and with better quality of food.. We have been in many and that was the worst..Sorry..

The reason this hotel gets 5 stars is because of the kids club and entertainment. The staff are amazing with kids. They obviously live their job as they are the same people that were here two years ago. That tells her that Melia are good employers. Their staff look Genuinely happy in their jobs. They are so good with the kids. The food is fine. Fresh pasta station. Fresh meat. All the usual nuggets etc which is typical of all inclusive. But lots of fresh fruit and salads. I’m not sure what people expect. Meal times are noisy, sit outside and it’s more peaceful. This is a hotel that’s great for kids.
