I was originally going to mark it as 1, but some redeeming factors exist. It's also possible that being the last week of the season (at least for TUI) made things worse.
I wish I had read all the reviews first.
One review was that the 'Friendly staff were fantastic, but the food was ... The staff were great, but the food was bland and cheap. Sunday's main meal had meatballs and chicken burgers as the meat options. Mince can hide a multitude of sins. Breakfast was the same items. The salads and desserts were the same every mealtime.
The Greek al a carte restaurant was not much better - warmed-up, dried, souvlaki sticks.
'The worst all-inclusive I have been to...' Certainly would agree with that.
The drinks were very poor quality. I would describe the spirits as rotgut. The wine was thin and too acidic for my tastes. The beer was passable.
On an all-inclusive there should be no need to go out with money in your pocket. There seem to be charges for lots of things; cocktails and even ice-cream.
We have been to 8 all-inclusive resorts and this compares very unfavourably. If I had been there with my family I would have left and changed hotels. But this was a mates break.
Lots of reviews say they had a wonderful time and that is correct as well. Many people greatly enjoyed their holiday. (We enjoyed ours.) I would put that down to the sea, sand sun and good company.
The good elements - redeeming features. The staff. The room was spacious if a bit frayed at the edges. The pools. The snack bars.

The hotel was Nice and we liked the rooms and the way it was build from the top of the hill and down to the Ocean. But, the food was very bad. The worst all-inclusive restaurant and buffet we have ever been to. The bread was bad, there wasn’t wnought food. And they didn’t change much Ib the buffet from day to day. The cleaning was okay. The service was okay. The pool was VERY cold. (And we are used to cold pools) The trip-advisor-lady at the hotel was very helpfull and sweet. We Will NOT be Commons back to This hotel again.

Stunning resort, its gorgeous! Staff so attentive, we had a garden room and it was lovely and big with dividing wall so my son was happy with that. The food was great a lot to choose from, harder if you are gluten and dairy free but we managed ok.

Pools lovely for the children- Great outside pizza area- But food in the restaurant & the drinks were poor -probably due to it being the last week of the season.. 3x days without our room towels being replaced/ Entertainment non existent & nothing outside of the hotel..Tried 2x days in advance to book A la carte but always fully booked.

We stayed for October 1/2 term all-inclusive. It was quite quiet due to coming to the end of the season so no issues with sunbeds, queing for food or noisey evenings (which suited us). Our room was basic (2 single beds pushed together and a camp bed) . Bit awkward as we were all in one area. The camp bed was not comfy so we asked for another mattress/topper, which came as a double. I couldn't be bothered asking again so we just swapped the mattresses around and left the topper over the joined beds, it was however badly stained, the single protector was badly stained and a blanket was also dirty-makes me feel ill seeing other peoples filth on the bed i'm supposed to sleep in. No excuse for not washing these things. I have never known so many people smoking in one area, The only no smoking zone was inside, on a warm evening we didn't want to sit inside but struggled to get away from stench of fags. They could do with a smoke free section.(just a personal opinion) we were the minority. The staff were polite, efficient, food was plentiful and generally we had a nice time.
