Couldn’t fault the hotel. It had everything right. Hotel not too big so it was easy to get to everything. Self serve drinks including wine, beer and soft drinks meant there was never a queue at the pool bar. Plenty of sunbeds and umbrellas and shade. Poolside food was good but we preferred the buffet, but the kids preferred the chicken legs and chicken nuggets by the pool. Hotel was very clean and always being cleaned. Even the toilets by the pool were spotless. We really enjoyed the food and it was constantly replenished and catered for all tastes. Mojitos were delicious! Pool was fresh but not freezing. A 15 min walk to the beach but this should not put you off, there is a free shuttle bus to the beach.

We stayed here for 10 days with my family. Hotel was clean, room was nice and comfy and we enjoyed our time there. Here listed some pluses and minuses: + location + beach only 1km away (but there is a free shuttle bus service + free parking + kind staff + pool area + warm water in childrens pool + food store 50m next to the hotel + good variety of food in restaurants + activities for kids - no cloth ironing possibility in hotel - no umbrellas available in reception - you can change pool towels only in the morning at 9am-12pm - asian restaurant was a disappointment (sushi rice hard as rock, no enough flavors, etc.)

Rooms are lovely and had plenty of room. The pool area and bars were great. Still lots to do if you have children as well.
