Visitors to property restricted. Had to cancel my family booking in the neighbouring hotel and book one at the don carlos to be able to see them. The discussion we had with the check in desk to sort was then shared with other residents at the hotel. Zero professionalism.

Concierge Service was excellent. Everyone is very friendly and helpful. Dining options and decor could use a revamp but it’s ok. Lots of restaurants in the area to eat and drink. Beach club pool area is the best part. Great for families and couples. Tennis amenities are amazing.

Dishonest staff, basically to put it nicely, they are thieves. Charged me a full extra room because we had our 4 year old child with us! Imagine, my 4 year old child needs to sleep in. A room by herself!

We stayed here for 4 nights. The hotel knew we were traveling with 2 children and they thought of everything. Gave us connecting rooms and even kept a night light for the children. We would find chocolates in our room every evening. Such a lovely touch. Our rooms were so nice. Very clean and great views! Really lovely resort. Much bigger than I thought it would be. Very clean throughout and beautiful tropical garden. The pool areas were also very clean and extremely friendly staff. The beach was so clean too. There were enough sun beds for everyone, both by the pools and on the beach. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend this resort to everyone. We will definitely go back. Thank you for making our holiday so memorable!

i live in the s.e of england and spent a weeks holiday at this hotel with my wife and daughter, which was extremely clean, all the staff were very polite and helpful, the room and service was excellent, the location and gardens were lovely. now the main points, my dislikes, the hotel caters mainly for businessmen so wasn't overun with children which was fine but my only critisism was that the restaurants seemed to cater only for businessmen so were very expensive, and as breakfast or dinner weren't included in the price it made it far too expensive to be able to eat there all week. apart from this i would highly recommend the hotel and would return although eat somewhere else.
