went to this hotel with 8 lads on a stag doo. Hotel is a bit dated but still fine. Food was reasonable but dont expect lobster thermidor and champagne!!! if you want the food hot, get down there early its pointless turning up at 9,30pm and expecting it to be fresh. The staff at this hotel are as pleasant or... More

If you want burgers and pizza don't go here..... Never had to queue for food or drinks.. Service a bit... More

As a party of 8 adults and a baby we were unsure what to expect having read all the negative reports. As Mickmcg47 states you get what you pay for. This is a three star hotel in the process of trying to get itself back on the map. As with all 3 star all inclusives ( I have tried many)... More

Our friend Dougie had recommended the Ponderosa to us as "the best place in town". He either confused it with somewhere else or is the sort of person who doesn't mind living like a refugee for a week. From the moment we arrived we were confronted with the most miserable staff you could ever care to meet. We might have... More
