Great location 5 bus stops away from town. Easy to access by bus from airport. Great restaurant service, really friendly and helpful restaurant staff. Basic 5 stars standard. Modern nice room with sea view. A lot of entertainment in the hotel. Yoga session every day Snack bar with 6 hot dishes, snacks, pudding and drink station- great if you miss lunch. Huge hotel - busy by dinner or late breakfast. No bath in ur room - travel with small child was a bit of pain. No kettle, Otherwise everything like the photos show on the Google’s site.

Just came back after a 5 day Easter break. The weather was really good at 24C every day but this side of the island was quite windy. I had booked two rooms and the receptionist kindly gave us adjoining rooms on the top floor with a sea view which was outstanding. Rooms are big, stylish and modern. Absolutely no issues other than the safe did not work and we had a faulty light all of which were resolved quickly. Some reviews complain that the rooms are dated but that must apply to the standard rooms on the first 6 floors as you can see the change in decor. In the low season not much is open near-by so a car is a must although we did find a very good restaurant for the evening just 15mins walk called Sebastians that I recommend. The pool area is sheltered from the wind, has a great bar and a good vibe. All in all a fantastic hotel.

After a long flight, we were greeted by 4 women dribbling over my husband. The blonde women who served us (you also pay extra euros when you get there as tax?) made me feel so uncomfortable and the flirting was very much obvious. This automatically ruined my trip as any time walking to the dining area I dreaded the stares from them at the desk. The room did not look anything like the pictures, we had food stains, black floors from dirt and riddled with bugs from the family room outside of the actual hotel. We had cleaners come & they literally just wipe over with a bleachy cloth - do not actually clean anything. I lost weight during my trip here as the food is diabolical. If you like oily plain spaghetti pasta & cardboard chips it’s the place for you. There are flies swarming around the fruit too. We had to eat out every night. The children’s pool is absolutely freezing too. My child caught a cold from the water being too cold. The main pool we did not go too as it was just way too busy all the time. The hotel overall is very outdated and run down. Definitely needs a revamp. We hired a car because there wasn’t much to do in the hotel or nearby. The beach is stones and not sand so we couldn’t really lounge there with a child. Definitely would not return and definitely would not give this hotel 5 stars. More of a 2 if that.

We just came back from our weeks stay, WOW we was miss sold this holiday. The pictures make this hotel look lovely but it doesn’t look like the pictures. The place is a health and safety hazard and an eye sore. This is the worst 5 star hotel stayed in I have seen 3 star hotels better than this. When we arrived at the hotel we had to pay a tax before we would be given any information on our check in, that was a surprise for us and the people on the desk had no intention to help us under stand this. Out of peak season said around 4 euros per room per night and in peak season 10 euro per room per night, we got charged the 10 euro even though I don’t think it was peak at all. As this was one of the only couple hotels open, they had nothing set up on the beach like in the pictures the beach was bare and messy. The shops was closed or just setting up and locals was just starting to clean the beach up, and not everything was running/open in the hotel. The rooms was dirty and did not look like the pictures advertised, we found a mysterious tablet on the bed side table. We are lucky we did not bring the children away. As they could have found it before us and eaten it. The air con did not work in the room turns out the hotel doesn’t turn the air con units on until a later month. If you love the same food for lunch and dinner then this is place for you, the snack bar is literally left over food from lunch/dinner. My wife, friends and other guest had food poisoning symptoms and the only thing to be eaten was from the hotel. The food did not taste nice and looked to be left over from the previous day some times. The arcade/games room you have to pay for everything even pool/snooker tables, yes even if you’re all inclusive. My self and other people had not seen anyone test the inside and out door pool water and the water did not look good. The Inside pool had green scum line marks around the pool walls and green algae in the floor drains around the edge of the pool. Also the worrying thing was when we was sat next to the out door pool having a drink, we over heard the life guard talking to the trainee life guard. And we heard the life guard tell the trainee along the lines of “when it’s not super busy like it will be in the next month or so, you don’t need to really watch the pool you can just chill out somewhere as long someone sees you from time to time.” The entertainment started at 9:30 so if you have children you’re probably heading to bed for a rest. And to be honest it was like bad karaoke, one night we got up and left to sit on our balcony to listen to the hotel next doors music/entertainment. The all inclusive drinks was limited and only had 1 beer/larger to choose from. They ran out of beer and coke and that meant drinks like rum and coke you had to go without until they got more the next day or so. This made the inclusive menu more Limited again. The all inclusive bar was also limited to one bar within the hotel this obviously caused bigger queues and had hour restrictions from opening times etc. Our mini fridge was not stocked properly and was not restocked the time we was there, also the tea and coffe pods was not stocked and even if they was you have to pay for them even if your all inclusive. remember this a 5 star all inclusive, even the tea and coffe pods in premier inn are free.

It’s a decent hotel like. It’s not a 5 star hotel but I’ll give it 3 stars. The premium executive room is nice except for the shower and bathroom. You can see someone taking a shower from the bed, only thing that’s covered is the middle area. The food is pretty average aswell. Decent food, but you won’t be craving it 😂. The drinks are ok, they are just juice and alcohol. The staff at the bar need to get colder glasses. They give you warm glasses that just came from the dishwasher. Makes it slightly less pleasant.
