Really friendly staff at check in and throughout our stay. Very helpful. Nice rooms, great view. Indoor and outdoor pool options were great for the kids. Breakfast was great. Really enjoyed our stay, would definitely come back
Great culture - Friendly, approachable and helpful staff.
Loved the amenities.
Breakfast buffet is excellent. Dinner buffet also excellent, well stocked and excited.
Very nice Hotel but may need some renovations in some places. Nothing that affects your stay! Great location, wonderful breakfast, fantastic staff. Thank you for the upgrade to the suite room on our arrival. Looking to come back one of these days.
Nicely located with a great pool and garden with plenty of loungers and parasols. A short walk from a few beautiful beaches and 5 or 6 very good and restaurants/bars than are reasonably priced. Staff are very helpful and welcoming - not once did we see a member of staff walk past an empty glass or piece of litter without stopping to pick it up and bin it. Parts of the hotel are a little tired but the rooms are spacious and well kept
Property generally good, needs a bit of TLC in parts. Paid extra for a sea view that was blocked by palm trees 🌴. Breakfast good but a bit chaotic.

The room was clean and spacious but a little dated. There was a waterproof sheet underneath the main sheet which was a little uncomfortable to sleep on as it kept wrinkling up in the night.
The room had a kitchenette but no plates or cutlery and only tiny tea cups so we had to ask for these. It was nice to have a fridge and kettle though.
The staff were mostly really friendly and helpful.
The pool and surrounding area was nice but lots of seagulls flocked around there and frequently pooed in it so we’re not sure not clean it was. We both ended up with bad colds after a couple of days of swimming in the pool so we expect it wasn’t very hygienic.
The sauna was very cold and therefore not a proper sauna.
The gym on the other hand had no air conditioning and was really hot and felt quite dirty.
We had a couples massage at the spa which was lovely and very reasonably priced. We also got given recommendations for local restaurants - Tasca 26, Quirinos and Olivalmar were all really good. The dinner buffet at the hotel was basic and rather disappointing.
The beaches nearby were nice but you do have to walk to them. There is a cool tunnel in the rock to walk through from the closest beach to the next one and that is a nicer beach to swim from.
Overall, it was a satisfactory hotel but not as nice as the photos or description implies.

Decent Hotel
It has a great breakfast. Nice access to a great beach or great pool to hang out at. The hotel could use a little updating but is clean and maintenance is good.
Our stay at the resort was wonderful. The staff was exceptional and very lovely to us. There are several beaches within walking distance. The breakfast was plentiful with lots of choices. I would recommend this resort and we will definitely be returning for another trip.

Gorgeous location
The place is at a gorgeous location. The hotel is good in general. Having two single bed to simulate a bigger one not nice. Pool, steam and sauna room are great. The restaurant is nice, breakfast is great. The staff is so kind and friendly, always willing to help.
I definitely stay here again.

This is an older resort that has been well cared for and updated. It is only a few steps from a beautiful beach.
Be aware that you need to establish a line of credit with the front desk if you want to charge things to your room.
