Excellent facility for kids to play and enjoy pool time. Busy as expected, lot food options but may rather find balance between quality and quantity. Staff accommodating but also busy. Pool floor quality slippery so maybe some warning for young kid and elderly may help prevent unfortunate falls. Overall excellent for pool, beach time and reasonable price.

Hyvä palvelu, kiva hotelli ja siisti ympäristö. Joustavaa palvelua ja kaikki onnistui. Lapset otettiin hyvin huomioon ja allasalue kiva. Puolihoidon mukainen aamiainen ja illallinen monipuolisia ja maistuvia. Tullaan ehdottomasti uudelleen, jos reissu kohdistuu tälle suunnalle!

En avslappnande vistelse med fantastisk service

Vi bodde på hotellet i 7 nätter och är väldigt nöjda med upplevelsen. Servicen var verkligen i toppklass – personalen var hjälpsam, vänlig och genuint mån om att vi skulle trivas. Rummen var rymliga. Hotellet ligger precis vid stranden. Frukost och middag höll bra kvalitet med bra variation. Det enda vi saknade var närheten till stadens mer livliga områden. Hotellet ligger en bit från restauranger, shopping och annat utbud – perfekt om man söker lugn och ro, men lite opraktiskt om man vill ha mer puls eller variation på kvällarna. Taxi eller hyrbil rekommenderas.

Nous avons passé de très bons moments de détente. Nous n'aimons guère les animations, elles étaient discrètes (on peut facilement les éviter si on le souhaite) et de qualité. Le personnel est très agréable. Et nous avons TRES BIEN mangé avec un thème central différent chaque soir. Les apéritifs ou cocktails, vins et digestifs du "all inclusive" étaient corrects. Aucun intérêt par contre d'être dans un grand appart avec cuisine en "all inclusive'. Des WC séparés de la salle de bains seraient plus judicieux.
