There’s a lot going for this hotel but also quite a lot not so good. Solo with a 11year old. All entertainment and evenings for younger children. Nothing for the older ones to do in the evening but hang about. Bar area would benefit from a seperate adult area and /or patio heaters so can enjoy outside whilst the kids shows are happening late into the evening. Pool area nice but they dont enforce their policy to not reserve beds so a few days couldn’t get 2 beds together. Beds aren’t in a good condition. Kids entertainment staff really good. Football and tennis accessible all day. Pool table by the swimming pool broken. Food started very well. Sushi, curries, selection of fresh salad, fruit and veg, fresh bread. Cakes and ice creams. Fruit cup by the pool or hotdogs and biscuits/donuts if that’s your preference. However found the meat tough, a lot of pork which I don’t eat and no red meat options. BBQ was all pork. Evenings are cold with the wind so bring jumpers. I don’t drink so can’t comment on the alcohol but herbal teas were weak and tasteless. Staff mostly friendly, gym equipment old and some not working properly but enough kit for a decent workout. Recommend e-bike hire to tour the island. We effortlessly did about 80km in a day to the sand dunes and around the coast line back to the marina. £45 each for the day and loads of battery. I expected a 4* to cater for all needs, this is very young children focused especially in the evening driving you out of the hotel to spend. Fabulous steak at 5th ave down a side street. Pizza and tacos fresh at coco palma on the beach. Rooms spacious. Would benefit from hooks on the walls for bags, coats, towels. And shower tray leaked every use causing bathroom floor to be a pool. Phone in the room didn’t work, annoying when needing reception has to walk down. Weather wasn’t amazing. It was warm but windy and didn’t see sunshine until after lunch. Shops were more expensive than England (dodgy football kits… Man City is adidas apparently). Good entertainment on music square a good 20mins walk away. The market was disappointing a few stalls of fake /cheap copies. Beaches are lovely and see is perfect to swim in. Albeit windy. This holiday was Good for a chill out but don’t expect too much. Because forced to go out of the resort I spent as much here as I did on a 5* luxury hotel in Crete that had a lot more to offer and didn’t spend any extra.
