Beautifully located on a clifftop with perfect views of the stunning sunsets.
As I'm sure other people have said, the hotel is upside down, in that the pools are on floor 9, reception and entertainment on 8, dining on 7, and rooms on floors 1-5. The lifts left a bit to be desired, they seemed to have a mind of their own, sounding as though they're arriving but opening on a different floor, one was not working for a fair part of the week and they were tight for space, especially with people checking out with their cases. We were on the 5th floor so walking was an option, so if you get the choice go for a higher floor.
Room: stunning seaview although couldn't quite see the sunset from the balcony. 2 twin beds pushed together rather than a double but TV with enough English speaking channels to suit me whilst waiting for the other half to get ready ;) The aircon could have been better, but left on all day with the blackout curtains pulled was just about sufficient. Bath and very powerful shower both did the job.
Food: main dining room plus additional snack bar, which doubled up as a restaurant with theme nights (Andalucian and Asian and one other, can't remember). Huge choice of foods, lots cooked in front of you - I didn't go hungry! Plus you got to see the sunsets from both.

Drink: yes.Lots of it. 5 alcoholic and 4 non-alcoholic cocktails available (ready made in jugs) and also you can get international spirits, if you ask by name. So ask for Jim Bean or Beefeater Gin and that's what you get - and in very considerable measures! Obviously local beers and spirits also available.
Entertainment: Daytime entertainment a-plenty, although they were not at all pushy if you didn't want to partake. Evening entertainment was generally by the very enthusiastic animation team - miming and dancing to songs, pretty weird at times (miming to a slow song whilst sitting down for example) but a couple of professional acts that were superb - a flamenco/salsa fusion band/dancers and the Beijing acrobats were both superb.
Pools: 2 pools, one where they played the games and the other, the gorgeous infinity pool on a level higher up. Would have been nice if they had made the infinity pool a grown up area, generally it was very quiet up there but 2nd half of the week more children were splashing in the pool! How dare they ;) Pool towels were available everyday, just change yesterdays for todays on the way to the pool.
Staff: I cannot express really how good...More
