Reviews
If we had not had food poisoning I would be giving it full marks.
The rooms are sufficiently equipped, spacious and comfortable.
The service at the bar and restaurant is good also, with a good selection.
The pool, although cold, was great, and we can put that down to the time of year.
We knew the location was a little walk away from town before we arrived, so no complaints.
What I can't forgive, and unfortunately will prevent my return, is myself, and my youngest daughter vomiting violently, and without being too graphic, out of the other end also!
These were both on separate days. So it couldn't be pin-pointed to a certain meal or food. But we were all inclusive and ate at the hotel so we can only put it down to something we ate there.
For me it was only on the second night of a 6 day holiday, and I didn't really have much of an appetite after that. My daughter had the same issue the following evening and she didn't eat much after that either.
It is really unfortunate because the staff were very hard working, and the hotel itself seems very good.
Reading previous reviews, now we are home, this seems to be a recurring issue at the hotel, so there is potentially an issue with food storage or hygiene in the preparation area.
I don't like to leave bad reviews, because I can see how hard the staff work, but if people don't report it, then there can be no solution.
I did tell the lady when I was checking out, and she did seem generally concerned, and took a note of the issue and said they would look into it.
Informed them we would be staying with a disabled child who would need a proper bed and they have provided him a pull out bed there is no space in the rooms and he is already very distressed
Had to argue with the women at the reception to provide a kettle to make his medication which he needs several times throughout the day
Was refused bigger Room despite willingness to pay any amount needed.
Absolutely gutted and am looking at flights home because the staff are very rude.
This hotel is not friendly towards their disabled customers and
Dinner very limited and not restocked as it should be when things are used. Cutlery dirty daily and the waiters are extremely rude we needed a 12 person table and asked if they could arrange one for us for him to say no only 2 tables available about 50ft from one another. The same waiter then shouted at my young daughter for “being in his way” he’s lucky I didn’t hear him! Pool dirty. Rooms smell like the sewers and a couple of the family had to be moved from there room because the smell physically burnt your nose. Bar staff are nice. Entertainment wasn’t bad fair to say there very understaffed if you want a coffee forget it! You’ll be waiting 30/45 minutes. Really gone down hill and planning to stay out the hotel as much as possible for the rest of our holiday.
7 night stay. 30 March to 6 April 2024
Let's start with the good, which it mostly was...
Nice, clean rooms. Big bathroom, great shower. Most rooms, if not all have balconies. Mostly friendly staff. Great swimming pools and outdoor bathing area. The food in the canteen was really good. Lockers to store your luggage on the last day, if you have late transfers. Arcade room for the kids and adults. Nice bars. ATM machine. Souvenir shop.
10-15 minute walk to the beach. Loads of shops and eateries in walking distance.
Now the bad...
No tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms. Have to pay to use the safe in your room. These are trivial, but the next one ruined our holiday. There were two parties of teenage children that arrived, both staying for three days, that arrived one after the other, effectively the whole week. You couldn't move for them. Even saw one climbing off the roof. The worst bit was dining though. All of them would go up to the hotplates together, they would constantly jump in front of you in the queue, really rude. Teachers had no control, they were sat at the other side of the canteen. Whilst they certainly weren't thugs, they were just in your way all the time. Must have been 200 of them at least.
All in all, we thought the good outweighed the bad. We would visit again. Just trying to avoid booking at Easter holidays.
