Room was comfortable, pool great. Even though big hotel the pool didn't seem too full.
Watermark down the road great also.
Restaurant food was hit and miss at times. I have stayed at Riwo a few times previously and their food was slightly better but the snack bar at Polynesia was better. Check in took longer than it should and still waiting for the wristband deposit back day after checkout.

The hotel was very clean. The staff and the Spanish families were very friendly. It's truly set up for a great family holiday with lots of entertainment for the children.
The beach club is brilliant!
And the location creates a nice breeze and beautiful views of the sea. Happy holiday :)
The food could be improved. A little more variety through the week would be great.
The main problem was the lack of vegetarian options and you'd definitely struggle as a vegan.

Big rooms with nice view. Good breakfast and rich dinner. Front desk staff were kind to provide information. Staff for kid's activities were very kind and friendly.
Perhaps better information about the hotel's restaurant location.

beautiful hotel with lovely rooms we had the sea view suite with the hot tub on the balcony. The hotel is very well maintained. every morning the hot tub was drained and cleaned which I was very impressed with. all of the staff were very helpful with information for attractions buses and always tried to help. The kids club was lovely and great security with a buzzer to get buzz in to collect children which reassured us. arcade and bowling in the evenings was a great addition to our evenings.
Overall the beautiful room and view made this hotel great for us.
all inclusive food - now I was weary of the bad reviews before i came here said id take a chance as there was some good unfortunately I’m not a picky eater but I was very let down by the food for each meal. dinner starts at 7 and we would be down for dinner at the starting time and still some of the food was cold I think they cook so much different dishes that half of them are cold by the time it’s ready for dinner service. a lot of the mains were very plain or had an odd flavour for the dish. most of the food apart from a handful of items I was not impressed by. To be fair there was a good selection which ranged each night unfortunately after trying the new additions each night they were far from impressive. I think if I was to return I would avoid the all inclusive.
I understand we stayed here during march off season but the evening entertainment was non existent during the week which I found disappointing considering the hotel had quite a few quests with children staying. I think as there is a couple of hotels here together even if they put together an evening entertainment for 2 of the complex’s to make up the numbers It would provide more entertainment in the evenings aside from music in a bar which wasn’t a suitable environment to bring kids.

I liked the spa and the staff were really nice. Rooms are huge like an apartment.
Good for a family looking for cheap and cheerful.
Very basic hotel, dated rooms. The hotel is very tired and old, it is like a Maze and you get lost a lot. Outdoor pool not heated but good size. Food very basic. be careful if staying outside peak season, only one buffet restaurant open. No irons available in rooms. The beds are Really uncomfortable.

The hotel was beautiful. It was clean, staff was very helpful and friendly. Had everything you need in one place. Plenty of activities for the kids.
In my opinion the food wasn’t good. The rooms do have a kitchen so you are able to cook your food. However there is no shops or anything within walking distance.
7.0
The variety of foods is great, its quality is OK.
The hotel is so beautiful, rooms (apartments) are large and clean.
There is a long distance between the entrance door and the rooms, and you have to walk/climb there! Unfortunately, there is not any shuttle to take guests.
There is not any indoor pool. Most of the interesting pictures on their page are for a beach club, which is not in the hotel! The club also was closed.

Food was ok. And it was nice with a snackbar between meals. View from Balcon was perfect.
We had the most expensive room with jacuzzi: The jucuzzi was noisy, it was old and could not be stopped. It made noise all night, so we had to sleep with ear plugs!
There was also a lot of noise from moving chairs in the restaurant, beginning from when breakfast oppened in the morning!
The wine was bad, and it was not possible to buy more expensive/better wine!

Breakfast was a good selection and the hotel is impressive at a glance, other than that I wouldn't recommend the hotel.
Check in was poor. Waited at reception for a long time until a receptionist eventually came and treated us as if we were an inconvenience.
No information given to us about facilities.
When I asked about the indoor pool, I was told there wasn't one. We eventually discovered there was on the lower level.
The pool area is very basic with a need for an upgrade. The pool is not heated, so children cannot go in during winter months.
The rooms are VERY loud with children running and screaming in the corridors until 2am.
There were ants in the bedroom/bathroom/kitchen in the room.
Lots of facilities were closed completely or closed early. The water park was closed. Only the all inclusive restaurant is open during meal times, which didn't have a great selection at dinner/lunch.
We weren't asked whether we enjoyed our stay at check out. they simply took the keys and said goodbye.

poor wifi, kitchen not properly cleaned

The staff and hotel far exceeded our expectations. We will be returning.
The room ws clean but the rubbish had not been cleared from the bathroom. It was done within 15 mins.
The soap and gel could be better for a spa hotel.
There was nothing to put in bath water.
The room was to 4 people but there were only 2 cups and two complimentary bottles of water.
These are only minor points, they didn't really affect our enjoyment of the stay but need thinling about by the staff.

Beautiful hotel, unusual
Mdesign ,clean, fantastic facilities, helpful and friendly staff, gorgeous views, junior suite had little kitchen facilities ok size and nice balcony ❤️
Food wasn't that good, wanted to go our for food but there was nothing around, no shops, pubs or restaurants , food in snack bar was very limited and just fast food , repetitive, if there were restaurants nearby we would go b&b next time..but have to go all inclusive as nowhere to eat round there,
Door didn't have inside lock, our 6 year old daughter went sleep walking onto corridor in the middle of the night

Plenty of choice for breakfast and all other meals.
A €40 deposit which should have been credited to my account on 26th September did not happen. Now we are back in England my husband is trying to contact you to organise this credit.

Staff was a 10 during our stay. Facilities and animation staff/show also good. Food impressively good for a buffet and good quality too with exceptions. I will definitely recommend it.
Sunbeds need an update... very understandable.

4 different hotels facilities are available for all guests, aquapark in the beach hotel was awesome for children. Apart from 4 long drinks in the all-inclusive menu there were also plenty of other alcohols available to compose other drinks if only you know how to do that. The food was delicious with lots of seafood.
Housekeepers took my spare card to the room every time when I left it on a visible place (desk). Actually, they didn't clean anything during 1w stay.

Food was really nice and plenty of it
I didn’t like the dinner starting at 7 as with young kids eating at 6 would be much better also the kids entertainment starts way to late . It should start at 8 and not 9

The Room was very spacious and comfortable, cleanliness was outstanding and an added surprise when we had a Jacuzzi and sunbeds on our balcony. The Breakfast was good and there was always a great variety. The Animation Team worked very hard.
Sunbeds around the pool were very uncomfortable. The evening meals didn't seem to have a great variety and were not always hot, although I did use the microwave on occasions.
7.0
Accommodation was disappointing. The shower leaked, the WiFi had very poor strength, the air conditioning only blew freezing or not at all.
