Me and my partner stayed in this hotel with 3 children 10 and under. Our room was massive with a massive balcony and the hotel service was excellent, rooms cleaned every day. Security guards on duty 24hrs a day.....always watching for trouble. Swimming pool lovely with plenty of spare sunbeds, although they were a bit hard. Entertainment was a bit... more

We usually go self catering so we decided to up the ante this year by going half board as we saved a few bob on the flights.

(p.s although watch out for clubs trying to... more

No variety at all Fish ,fish and... more

The Negatives: Staff were not very helpful with exception of Gail who was always prepared to help. I went with my friend and we constantly felt intimidated at night. I could not recommend this area to female parties as we did not feel safe! We were half board but surprised to see that even a glass of water with our... more

There was a big hall, a proper kitchen (even though we were half-board), bathroom, bedroom and big dining/living room with... more
