The rooms were really nice.
No pressing iron in the rooms and we couldn't get one to use at the reception. We also had to call for towels.
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2026
The hotel was very large, and the food was good.
What I didn’t like was that many of the facilities were not included and required additional payment.
9.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jan 2026
Our stay in October was a real pleasure. The hotel has its flaws, but if there are any, they are definitely balanced by fabulous staff. We’d like to warmly thank: Laura, Manuel, Eliza the boss :), Natalia, Alberto from the restaurant for their help and assistance. As a family with milk, soy and almond allergies, we really had a lot of contact with. They were always communicative, helpful, friendly and extremely patient. We also noticed and appreciated a very competent Arianna from the check-in desk - when others couldn’t help, she always had the answer ready.
The pluses:
- fantastic restaurant staff mentioned above :)
- nice, exotic atmosphere
- comfortable rooms
- menu adjusted to allergies
- very family-friendly hotel
- when we were not satisfied with the room (too much noise from the ventilation fan), we got a better one without any problems or additional fee
- old-school bowling machines ;)
- interesting night-time performances suitable for both adults and children
- possibility to use the attractions and watch performances in the other hotels
The minuses:
- if you’d like to party at night, it’s not a place for you. It’s completely quiet by midnight (we didn’t mind that, but you have to be aware of it)
- the sound of fountains was a bit tiring towards the end of the stay.
- the cleaning was ok, but not 5-star level. I’d say 4 stars, because sometimes it wasn’t very detailed.
- the pillows were too hard and too high, but it’s a matter of taste.
- air conditioning in the room situated on the highest floor was quite noisy and not efficient enough on most hot days.
- the outdoor pools (also those in the Aquapark) are COLD. And I mean so cold that I had a headache when I left it after 10 minutes.
- guests without the all-inclusive option have to pay quite a lot for the Aquapark. PLUS some attractions at the (already paid!) aquapark are also for a fee, for example, the inflated round tubes for the slides. And you can't slide without them, because it's forbidden. So all in all, you pay for the aquapark and then extra - for the slides in the aquapark.
- lot of paid attraction despite of not so low price for the room
- shuttle bus could be available till later hours than 18:00.
- a bit too little choice of fresh vegetables, too many pickled ones.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Dec 2025
The room was spacious and clean, nice amenities
Good hours for food.
Treatments were nice but no relaxation room after and had to pay extra for the facilities.
Beautiful views outside
Very little choice for the food, mediocre.
Also the music in the main buffet was the same everyday at every meal, don't get me started on the type of it- very eerie, gave the impression of the Phantom Hotel. No atmosphere, felt like the only guest. Some of the corridors are very dark and cold. No entrainment. If you seen any staff at all, they were busy talking to each other. Reception always empty, they are hiding in a different room. The fish were sick with ick. Not very well taken care of. The waterfall when on at full blast made it impossible to sit in the massage chair due to the echo and the loudness. Same with the game room, the machines were playing the music so loud and the background music was playing even louder meshing all of the sounds together, after 30min you could only get a headache. I had really high hopes for the hotel and didn't mind paying extra knowing I will have a nice time but I was really disappointed. During the check-in nobody told us where to go, what times are the meals, what is there to do. I would definitely not recommend this hotel, there are many others which are better even during the off season and also cheaper.
