Adorei . Recomendo este hotel

Adorei a estadia,um quarto espaçoso e a cama muito confortável. O hotel tinha 5 piscinas mas nós ficamos na parte do hotel que tinha piscina no 3 andar com vista infinita . O hotel ficava numa zona muito calma e com uma praia grande. Adorei

Nada a apontar

Alojamiento cómodo muy bien ubicado.

La limpieza, la comodidad de las habitaciones, las instalaciones en general.

Especialmente las toallas de la habitación, muy viejas y que apenas secan, son un poco desagradables. El buffet estaba masificado, con colas en la entrada, nunca había visto eso en un 4*. La calidad de la comida muy muy justa.

La mejor estancia de mi vida

Lo que más me gusto fue lo grande que es el resort y lo amable que es el personal. Merece mucho la pena pagar un poco más y tener el VIP para acceder a la piscina de arriba en la azotea que tiene vistas a la playa y unos amaneceres preciosos.Tenéis todo tipo de actividad que hacer para niños y adultos.

Me gusto el buffet pero pienso que deberían mejorar.

The room was very nice, hotel was clean and friendly staff

The food was very bland and did not have the flavor of Spain. I understand it is cooked for the large amount of people but a little more love would go a long way.

Amazing!! Can't wait for next summer!

Amazing experience for our family. We travel with a 8 year old and we absolutely loved everything! We can't wait to come back next summer! We've chosen all included and it was totally worth it. The pools were amazing, incredible hot water (pools and beach!!). Great food, lots of variety and everything freshly baked. We loved the animations for both kids and adults and ALL the staff was amazing (from cleaning staff, bartenders, reception, kids entertainers and pool animation) all incredible really nice, polite and professional. The greatest holidays ever!! Thanks! (Sugestion: karaoke one of the evenings would be really cool xD )

Very good

Generally clean and well maintained. Enough space in the rooms (including for storage) and usable balcony/terrace. Nice pools, beach close-by and sea/ocean water unexpectedly warm for June.

Restaurant food was a big disappointment, luckily we only booked breakfast. Too many people at the same time, poor choice of food and bellow average quality. Unfortunately there are not many options around as the area is still under development, with lots of construction sites. Almost no sound-proofing in the rooms so don’t expect a very quiet time.

great family facilities with siesta flavor

kids facilities (splash pool, playground, fun club), nice food, pleasant beach and overall area, brand new sparkling clean rooms

kids facilities/pools in fact are closed 13:00-15:00 (guard employee lunch break/nap?) - would be great to keep it open according the official hotel’s schedule.

A wonderful place but needs improvements

Amazing swimming pools, beachfront location and the surroundings. Hope to return again!

The hotel is great but needs some improvements: - without any explanation, we were asked to leave the kids pool by the lifesaver because it was going to close at 1pm (which isn't the schedule)... the pool's opening time period is already very short: 11:00-18:00 so it was very unpleasant as there was no rain or justification given.. - the restaurant in and out lines/queues should be separated as a common sense, like one side to enter and the other side to exit.. For example, 6-7 people leaving and 10-12 people entering look face-to-face with the only waiter/host... - there should be a separate desk/queue/receptionist to attend the already-staying hotel guests. Otherwise even with 5-6 receptionists, you have to wait behind a whole-bus of arriving check-in guests. I had to wait around 40minutes just to leave cards for check-out... In general, some of the receptionists seem to work unwillingly..

Lovely, clean and spaciousl hotel. Great service in the restaurants. All inclusive food was good. Lots to choose from. There are lots of sun loungers and comfy chairs in the outdoor lounge areas. Evening entertainment was also good. It was ideally located beside the beach. We were out of season (end October) and it was so peaceful in the hotel and on the beach. Liked that we could hire bikes from the hotel. Had a lovely day cycling to chipiona.

Great staff, great pool area, especially for kids. Beautiful beach.

Could be more energy efficient. Fairly loud and difficult yo sleep until late at night....but is that all over Spain?

Good location, but not value for money

The location is excellent, especially if you have the right type of room. Ours was superior double on the 3rd floor, which provided ample view of the seashore and beach. (The receptionist Zaira was kind enough to accept our request for seaside one, which turned out to be the most fabulous part of our stay!) However, one must remember that all rooms are at 90-degree angle to the beach, so you will rarely have entire seashore in your view. So if you are looking for sea-view, thoroughly check with the property first before you book. Another most memorable thing was the Infinity Pool (whiich was available to us due to our Superior double room booking). It is a cold (somewhat 18-22 C) pool (with Jacuzzi) on top of the hotel, as part of the terrace area. You get an exceptional view of the sea beyond the Infinity pool, which is VERY RARE photo opportunity! It is visited by very few (as it is part of Premium service offering). There are abundant sun beds on the terrace. You also get free drinks and fruits from the fridge while you are there. Kids under 12 are not allowed. The property has total 3 free pools (which includes one indoor pool) apart from terrace Infinity pool (which has limited access based on your room booking). Out of the 2 outdoor pools, one is for kids with small-waterslides and some fun apparatus for kids to enjoy. There are sunbeds nearby all outdoor pools, although full sun access is available only to some of them. Ther is a bar near the outdoor pools, so during busy times, it can be crowded and noisy. Every night, there is entertainment program for kids. During our week long stay, we also got to see one magic show, which was very good quality one. The atmosphere is quite jovial and fun-filled - families should not miss this. The only area with HOT POOL is SPA, which is NOT FREE (15€ per person) unless you have an eligible reservation. SPA has hot pool with jacuzzi, Turkish bath, Finnish Sauna and various other baths. €2.5 cap is must purchase.

#1: Food: The hotel is in resorts area, so you are practically dependent on the hotel food only. The food was quite uniform in nature, with VERY LITTLE variety. Since we were a vegetarian family, things were more difficult to us, despite our special request to the hotel previously and during our stay. The chefs simply did not know, or did not want to understand our request (they most spoke Spannish). We never received hot veg breakfast during our 7-day long stay! All we had was raw breads, coffee, jams, jellies and same assortment of desserts all the time. Often, they served cold salad (or some soup item made from it) from previous night, which was smelly. During dinner, they always had woke veg item (rice or noodle), which was prepared hot. However, the test was not up to the mark, and we got bored with it soon. #2: Planning & Organization: Upon requests, chefs made veg pizzas during dinner, which felt good enough. However, most of them were busy and did not take long-term requests. We had to tell them DAILY, despite 1-month advance booking! There is NO COMMUNICATION between reception and the kitchen staff. No one disclosed to us what facilities were INCLUDED in our PACKAGE. So we felt we OVERPAID our 7-day long stay.' Not expected from a 4-star property. #3: Forced sale of service/goods and SPA facility rudeness: Our room entitled us to 3 FREE spa tickets, but no one told us that it required purchasing swimming cap from the SPA facility itself. When we took our own caps, the SPA service lady refused to accept it. She was EXTREMELY rude. She refused to speak English despite our request, and deliberately miscommunicated in SPANISH to insult us later. She also refused to use various baths in SPA, which was totally invalid. The staff often served mineral water despite our request for regular one, later to charge us with that (despite sometimes understanding our English) The receptionists, however, trusted us, and cancelled the wrong charges.

The kids loved the kids pool with the slides. food was very nice - good selection and theme different night .

The tiles around all pools are extremely slippery, kids are constantly asked not to run because it is slippery. At one point they had 8 ‘slippery signs’ around the pool. Mini Kids Club/ Shows all in Spanish.
