Recently got back from a stay here and have left feeling relaxed and rested as needed! When reading a lot of reviews a lot of people appear to forget they’ve booked to stay on a small island off the coast of Africa and still expect the same as a busy European tourist hot spot… the rooms are more authentic than ‘run down’, the air con works great in the room with additional ceiling fan to help cool down after a hot day… yes it would be great if everywhere was air con but also you’ve paid to go away to a hot holiday destination, enjoy it!! I would recommend a taxi from the airport to avoid delays waiting for TUI coaches etc… costs about €30… and quickens check in at hotel! Showers are hot, toilet works well, rooms are cleaned daily and water topped up… any requests made through the app were seen to that day. The pools could do with some more attention purely for a lot of issues with broken tiles, drain covers etc. that caused cuts to feet etc… saying this, the staff every morning were around the pool making repairs and cleaning constantly. Food is standard all inclusive buffet style food, for fussier eaters…. Chips, toasties, pizzas etc… and for the not so, variety of meat and non meat options, vegetables, sauces, cheese selections, fresh fruit and salads etc… there are restaurants that can be booked through the app but do this ASAP when arriving and check daily as new times come up randomly and gets booked quick, the Italian was perfect and would recommend to mix things up a little. Drinks are also standard, the beer is easily drank through day and frozen daiquiris are a delight! Can’t mention spirits as not drank whilst there… online mentions the amount of bars but fails to mention 4 are all within the same ‘main square’ which does leave you feeling a little restricted on where to spend your evening as it gets very busy and a little overwhelming some nights with lack of seating to suit the size of hotel… another bar elsewhere would have been nice. Also no single use straws so bring a reusable one or a cup with built in if needed. Adults only section was never clearly explained this is an additional item you have to upgrade to and not allowed to go into if standard wristband.. however we did see the pool and bar area here and looked busy for the size of. Beach is wonderful and clean, lots of beds, small local seller huts selling all you would expect for souvenirs… including cups with straws which are recommended for getting larger drinks from the bars and self service throughout the day. Shops are available for bits you may need, snacks, toiletries, clothing, souvenirs, however very expensive! Complex is huge… never stayed in a hotel like this before and did seem a little sparse in areas with most point of interest being centrally located with lots of rooms far from any of this… gets the steps in I guess!! Pro: - Air con in room - Clean rooms - Water provided in rooms - Balcony large and good view - Beer and daquris goo
