After reading some of the reviews regarding Panas I didnt know what on earth we were letting ourselves in for! However we were very pleasantly suprised and cant understand many of the very negative comments about this place.
The hotel was great, the biggest pool I have ever seen, always plenty of loungers, near the beach, if you want your room cleaned every day just leave the maid picture on your door, the food was great, always plenty of it, god you can eat nearly every hour of the day on the AI if you like, including ice cream for kids (not that we had any kids with us but noticed it with other people) the food was of a very good standard, the restaurant was absolutely immaculate, and each evening/lunch time there was a different meal including a lovely salad bar. I read some comments about the staff being miserable, well the staff must have changed as we found them absolutely lovely and some of them quite funny and my god do they work hard, some of the staff serving at breakfast were still there in the evening, still with a smile on their face, and the bar staff were great and I didnt notice any of the problems where paying customers were served before the AI customers, we were served quickly all the time
The hotel was brilliantly situated, if you want to visit the highlife of aya napa it's about a 15 minute walk or just jump in a taxi, we walked it there and back as our rep assured us that it was safe to do so and even at 3/4/5 in the morning there were loads of people around! We found the entertainment each evening good fun, there was something diff on each evening and even a game of bingo, so even for all the party goers in the hotel everyone drank the AI till midnight then headed up into Aya Napa! Even during the day there was water polo, volley ball, water aerobics, football, pool competitions and darts competitions. I noticed one comment complain that the maids switch off the air con, they dont, when you enter the room you put your key in an electric socket that is what controls the air con so when you leave the room and take the key out the electric goes off including the Air Con (however the fridge stays on) we cant say anything bad about the Panas and can only thank them for giving us a bloody good holiday!!
