Booked for May 22-26, and spent more time during the day in hotel than we ever have, as it was so incredibly relaxing, quiet, clean, pleasant. Every staff member seemed hardworking and anxious to make your stay enjoyable. Our room was huge, spotless, with great view of center pool area. Breakfast was far beyond our expectations: many bread varieties to toast, juices, fruits, chef preparing crepes and omelettes, pastries, cereals, yogurts, meats and fish. True jewel!!

This hotel has been completely refurbished during 2007 - what can I say - absolutely perfect. We booked two nights on the web but liked it so much we booked an extra night when we were there. We had a suite which consisted of a seating area with L shaped sofa (converted to an extra bed), fridge, desk and chair, flat screen tv; a bathroom with walk in shower loo, sink etc. all finished to a high spec.; bedroom with plenty of storage space and double bed (twins pushed together!). We also had a double fronted balcony overlooking the larger swimming pool with new tables and wicker chairs (not those horried white plastic things). We also had breakfast and again couldn't fault it - plenty of choice.

We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this hotel and would recommend it to others.

Got a great deal for me and my 5 friends (all 18year old girls) on the Eclipse Direct Website £329 each for 2 weeks!

Was a beautifully clean appartment with just enough space, there was 1 twin/double room (double but beds were seperable) with an en-suite, a twin room and the open plan living room-kitchen. A slight inconvenience was that the extra 2 bed we needed were actually the 2 sofas in the living room. But as we didn't spend that much time in the apartment, it wasn't too much of a problem and the girls didn't midn people sitting on their beds. The balcony was lovely, both the bedrooms and the living room led onto it and there was plenty of room for our numerous lilos, a table and chairs for breakfast in the sun and drying space for bikinis/towels etc.

On the first day we all jumped into the first pool we saw and were quite content with it - it was Very deep and in shadow most of the time but on about the 3rd day we actually ventured a bit further and found the main pool which was gorgeous, with a "jacuzzi" - not heated water sadly!! Just bubbly water! There were plenty of sunbeds, althoguh with there being 6 of us, it was hard to find them all together.

The beach was very close, just over the road and generally clean and the sand was nice. There were sunbeds you could hire but we didn't bother and just bought a lilo each to laze on.

On our first shopping trip, we just ventured to the spar across the road but soon discovered it was quite expensive. We asked our rep if there was a bigger shop and luckily there was and we walked there but soon discovered it was a good 20/30minute walk and just got a taxi back. It was definitely worth it as there was a big difference in price and a lot more choice.

In the evenings we generally ventured in to Belle Vue, which was a 5 minute taxi ride (the taxi rank is situated just opposite the hotel!). Here, there is a range of hotels, clubs and bars so is much livelier than around the hotel.

We did eat out around the hotel and there were a number of nice reasonably priced restaurants and we're a bit ashamed to say we did eat in the Swan English pub!! It was reasonably priced and satisfied our need for a bit of fried breakfast!!

Just a warning, we got henna tattoos while we were there and whilst mine was fine, my other friend's swelled up immensely - she was allergic and had to spend quite a bit of money on doctors bills and creams for it!

We went on a market day trip which was well worth it, we went to Varna market in the first half of the morning then went to a shopping village the second part of the morning. I think it was 20euros for 1/2 day and was fantastic, although a lot of the stalls were a bit repetitive. And the shopping outlet village was ok but we didn't have much money to spend, great if you liek designer clothes though.

Me and a friend went on the water park trip - 1/2 day at one of the Aqualands. I can't remember the name of it but we felt it was a bit of a waste of money and wasn't impressed. We got there and you actually had to either queue up for ages to get a rubber ring thing for the rides or you had to pay for one. We brought no money with us because we thought everything was paid for. And we went in september when it's not school holidays - would hate to imagine how long the normal queues are!!! There was also quite a lack of rides, better possibly for younger children? We'd been on everything within the first 1hr 1/2 and we'd had to queue etc. The "free" lunch was also discusting and consisted of a plastic type sausage in a bun and cold chips.

Overall a very good holiday and great for first-time holidays - everythign was within reach and done for us. Although probably not great if you're looking for a full-on clubbing holiday!!
I would definitely recommend it for families as it was not loud/lively at the resort but i think it is also suitable for younger holidays as the lively area is just a 5 minute taxi.

Oh and regarding the heat, we went form 28/8/07 - 11/9/07 and we found it was still very warm - about 25 degrees so can't imagine how hot it is peak summer!!!

Hope this is helpful for you!!

Had booked a 2-room apartment in the renovated part of the hotel facing the pool. When we checked in we noticed at once that we have been placed in an old worned apartment facing the main street. Down to the reception desk and complained. No reponse; we are all full booked, was the answer.
Back to the room we found that there was no coffeemaker for breakfast coffee. Down again; and a few moments later we got a coffeemaker. Next morning we found that it doesn't work. Down again; and little bit later we got another.
The food at the hotel is nothing to write about; so I won't.
The water in the pool was ice cold. It was warmer in the sea.
The only good thing about the hotel was that the beach is only 200 yards away.
If I go back to Alcudia I surely choose another hotel.
