The hotel is ideally positioned right on the beach and within a few minutes of the airport. It is a very imposing site and stands out from any other hotel as it is clearly in view as you come in to land. The hotel staff were excellent and very friendly and the food was well prepared and presented. Nothing is... More

We stopped here for a week in April, fantastic all inclusive hotel, serve yourself beer, wine, soft drinks, spirits and cocktails served at the bars, endless choice of food in the restaurant, staff actually are happy to help, excellent beach bar next to large self service buffet serving hot and cold foods from around the world. The wind is warm... More

Just returned from this hotel with my 2 friends. Hotel is very close to airport, only about a 3min transfer which is great and despite being so close there was no noise. Check-in was very efficient and we received refreshments on arrival. Staff also take your bags to your hotel room (if you want) which can save you a long... More

On first appearance a brilliant hotel but it's not a five star more between 3 & 4 star. Had a fridge in room but stocked with nothing, what part of all inclusive did we miss? also you need to take a kettle as there are no provisions for making tea or coffee. Also, you need to make sure that your... More

Just got back yesterday...on a positive note... Hotel was very clean and well kept gardens, food very good with plenty of choice. Theme restaurants worth a visit. Plenty of sunbeds anytime of the day. We spent two days on the beach which is just like the Caribbean, soft sand and turquoise seas. (That's the 5 star bit) The entertainment team... More

Just back after 2 weeks. The hotel is very well organised. Free towels for the pool each day. Free sunbeds on the beach. Free bottled water. Room cleaning excellent. Absolutely no mozzie bites! The food was excellent, and the bar staff know how to clear a busy bar. Help yourself to beer and soft drinks 24 hours. Enjoy this resort... More
