What Customers Have To Say
Intimate beach far from the big beaches crowded with tourists: the best.
The hotel itself is nice, the service is efficient, the food is good and varied.
The evening shows are really good.
The advantages: the ricard is included in all inclusive, towels for the swimming pool are included, entertainment, exceptional climate.
The minuses: an elevator broke down 3 times during our week, limited parking spaces (but a large parking lot available 10 minutes' walk away).
Clean and good rooms with great view.
But the bad part is if you're having a rental car, there's a tiny parking lot beside the hotel. All places are occupied, so you have to park your car away from the hotel within 15 min of walk. If you are with family, you can unload your family near the hotel every day, and park car down on the street, and be ready 15 min walk every day.Hotel can offer to you underground parking witch's cost to you extra 20€/day.
We have to make a special mention of the staff, absolutely EVERY single employee was very friendly, but especially the entertainment team. Honorable mention to Pedro, without a doubt he is a great professional and person.
As for the all-inclusive, we went with the most basic plan and we were satisfied. At the main pool they have a bar exclusively for drinks and another where after lunch they have endless hamburgers, dogs, fries, etc... all very good.
As a negative point I give it to the accesses. The hotel is on a mountain, so everything is stairs going up... this wouldn't be a problem at all except that several elevators were out of operation throughout our stay and others stopped suddenly.
Still I recommend it, we will definitely repeat.
There are many stairs and elevators are out of order from time to time.
Nice 18plus pool area with bar.
Super food in the restaurant and a large selection. (However, poor acoustics)
At the beach there is a private beach bar with drinks and food
. It's really delicious
