We went with TUI. The coach dropped us off at the side of the dock. You give your name into a Reception desk then wait for the blue ferry to arrive at 30 mins past the hour. You past your cases to the crew at a back door on the ferry then make your way up the gang plank. It is free so ignore signs showing prices. At the other end, you go straight into the hotel and check in to Reception. In the meanwhile the hotel staff take the suitcases from the ferry and leave them in reception for you to take to your room. The rooms are so small but adequate. The bathroom is dated with a shower over a bath. The hairdryer is old but workable. The air-conditioning is good. The beds and large pillow are comfortable enough. The balcony is small but suffice for 2 people. There is a mini bar which is filled with items to pay for. There is no iron. There is tea and coffee sachets and then you pay for refills. There are toiletries in the bathroom, i persume that they replace them but took my own anyway. The sea view is spectacular. The Island is beautiful. Walking around both is approximately 5000 steps. The fresh air is amazing, it is a fusion of clean sea air meets pine trees. We did aqua aerobics in the sea water pool everyday, it was only cold as you got in. There was ample sun loungers with a few people reserving them. The sea is warm and safe to swim in. The animation team was more geared up towards the kids which was fine by us. There was not much in regards to entertainment apart from some singers in the outside bar. All the waiters in the bars and staff in the hotel are pleasant and helpful, we couldn't fault them. The food at breakfast and evening meal were buffets with plenty of choice and places to sit. I just wish that they had a smoking section. Being a non smoker, I wanted to enjoy my meal in the fresh air but then someone would decide to have a smoke after their meal, which they are entitled to do but it would have been good to have smoking/ non smoking areas. There is a mini bar in the room, we emptied it and put our own milk in it. Take your own tea, coffee & sugar for the room as they charge you to replace it. Also, they ran out of breakfast tea so it was good that we brought out own. Would I recommend it? Yes definitely.
