We must have been palmed off with the worst room in the hotel, room 338. We would have had it changed but as we were staying 1 night and arrived at 6pm it wasn’t worth the hassle.
Food was pretty good at breakfast and dinner.
The food was good and decent for a buffet. Everything was clean all the time, service desk was kind and talked in 3 languages.
The room was spacious and we really loved that it has a closed bedroom and a kitchen. We traveled with a 4 years old and this was perfect for us. We rented a car and never had any issue with parking.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities
Lots of space with separate bedroom and lounge area .Also a large terrace balcony.Staff were pleasant.
But …..the whole building is cold ….there is no heating at all ,only in the shop.Staying in December was a mistake as this hotel has used a lot of glass in the construction and has marble floors .Heating in the room was just adequate but I had to buy a thick jumper and slippers. The dining room was cold and cold plates for the hot food !!!
It’s a long way from anywhere….lots of walking ,taxis and buses.Also it is next to a train track so quite noisy. This hotel really shouldn’t be open in the winter, indeed the Holiday World hotel next door was closed.
The beachfront view was nice and rooms were clean but we had to ask everyday to get new towels. It would be nice if they had more food variety or the two restaurants opened that they had onsite. Only other thing was one of the older souvenir shops employees was slightly rude to my daughter. Other then that great experience!
Beautiful hotel with a nice pool. Very child-friendly and all activities minded on kids. Rooms are big and the all-inclusive buffet is reasonably good (such buffets will never be michelin class but they did a fairly good job). Biggest minus for the buffet is poor marking of allergens. With all inclusive there is also access to a very nice waterpark with very nice facilities but water being a bit chilly (they have a toddler friendly section with slightly warmer water though). The hotel is located close to the sea and the beach but otherwise there is not too much to do and see around. There are bus connections to nearest cities though. It is not clear that they have any environmental initiatives or considerations for recycling.
The food breakfast, lunch and diner also the snack bar all inclusive is the best. Kids loves waterpark and also the pool near the snack bar. Best place to spend vacation with family.
Overall great hotel.. however not clear what alcohol is available as all inclusive. Very clean, beds so comfy. Food - variety of choices and overall very good
Absolutely stunning hotel.
It’s worth noting that some facilities are only open in the summer season. The outdoor pool is open from April onwards and they have a kids’ pool but it’s not well signposted. The indoor pool costs extra as it’s part of the spa but it’s sooooo good.
The kids’ club doesn’t allow adults to stay and my 3-year-old didn’t enjoy it for that reason. Older kids will enjoy it.

Ok place. All other than buffer restaurant were closed. If you want basic all inclusive with British people who wants party it's your place. Good location. Cleaning could have been better.
