Great security, fast check in, very clean!

Reception and rooms were fantastic. Breakfast was amazing, omlettes cooked to order, fresh fruit, pastries and full cooked options available. Served 8-10 am. Pool area was nice. Staff delivering waiter service to sunbeds and pool side. DJ and dancers and acrobatics and musicians entertained daily. Day passes available for non residents, security making sure only people who should be there, were there.

No where near enough sunbeds! Lots of space given over to expensive VIP areas. Pool opened at 10 and it was a mad rush for beds! There was a DJ from 12 at the pool - music was more crowd pleasing than dance music - also repetitive each day. No hot food allowed in rooms- we had 1 pizza slice taken off us when going back to our room.

Spacious and airy Communal areas very clean including pool areas Bar food was good - big portions Security personnel made it feel safer as hotel at the End of the nightlife Easy booking in and checking out

Vents in ceiling near air con needed a hoover out Booking in and checking out although easy took some time as very busy Water was expensive - spent about 24€ a day roughly would have liked more water dispensers around

It was a smooth check in and check out. The room was nice and tidy, and most importantly sound proof so you couldn’t hear the strip once you close the balcony doors The staff are also nice, they serve people quick and the cleaning staff do a great job!

Well with this sort of holiday, you know what to expect. I thought it was overly crowded in the pool area during the weekend, so there were no spaces in the shade at all. The pool is constantly rammed too. The lifts are also a nightmare, to get up to the my floor there were 4 lifts, which sounds good but 2 of them were constantly out of order and the other 2 were so slow. The drinks are also completely overpriced, 8 euro for a sex on the beach for example and 6 euro for a pint. This coupled with not being able to bring cold drinks etc from a shop next door into the pool area just means you’re trapped to paying so much money a day.
