We went half board and the food was fab, plenty of choice for everyone. we were sorry we didnt go all inclusive as we ate and spent most of the time in the hotel. We thought the entertainment was great. Playa blanca was a bit grubby but the shopping was better there. The resort is very quiet but we knew... more

Just returned yesterday from this hotel and resort, cannot say enough good, staff very helpful and friendly, wonderful location, good views and proximity to marina and Playa Blanca by walkway or bus etc. Food very varied, plenty of everything. Only downside was Thomas Cook don't book rooms with balconies because their insurance doesn't allow it! We had good room overlooking... more

The hotel and rooms were spotless and all general areas were always very clean. We booked dirtect on half board basis but if you want... more

We stayed here in October and the weather was great! Arrived at the hotel in the late evening and as we had missed dinner, we were given a sandwich and some fruit to take to our room. Our room was on the ground floor facing the road (very quiet) and although basic, was a decent size. You do get a... more

We stayed at the apartments over the road from the hotel for 11 nights during half term week . We were delighted with the room, it was very spacious and modern and our terrace had a lovely view towards the mountains and even a glimpse of the sea. The pool at the complex was lovely and quiet, although very cold... more
