Ok so we stayed here as a family of 13, had a great time here and this hotel is okay, some of the staff are very welcoming and friendly but some can come across as rude but that’s personal opinion I guess, the woman on reception was not welcoming when we first arrived, the activities during the day are encouraged but not many people like to take part, we played water polo which was fun! The pool is clean and surrounding area is kept very clean, the hotel is clean and rooms are cleaned every other day which is enough for me. The room we had was a 2 bed apartment and it was lovely, had everything we needed, fridge, tv etc. we went all inclusive, the food was not great, I’m not a fussy eater but most of the time I had to settle for foods that I didn’t really like or enjoyed eating, there is not enough option of food at all, and nothing really for kids, as most of the food did not look appetising, we ended up going out for dinner in the surrounding restaurants, which are very nice and good price! The sweet spot restaurant on site was very nice!! And the staff there are lovely, we had breakfast there and the portions of pancakes are huge, we brought 3 for 3 kids and they couldn’t finish them, so for kids I’d buy a meal to share. There is a hill down to the beach and back up to the hotel, which would be difficult to go up and down if you have any mobility problems. The beach is lovely, little cove with a cave you can walk through to the adjoining beach. €20 for 2x sun-beds and shade, which is not a bad price if you’re making the most of it and there all day. The local shop is about 10 minute walk and the shop owner is so lovely and very chatty! The local bigger store is around 25 minute walk depending how fast you walk. We used uber most of the time to travel to the next towns, which cost around €6 for 6 of us one way and took 6mins, there is a train but it’s a-bit pricey at €4.50pp and takes 45 minutes. I would definitely recommend the Zoomarine! It’s amazing, if you book on their website and then use uber to travel it’s cheaper, uber cost around €13 one way and takes only 25 minutes to get there. There is no mini disco in the evening for the kids which I was so upset about as my kids love a disco in the evening, but there was a singer that played he was good but it’s not the best entertainment I’ve seen. You can only have 2x drinks per person, as we had a big group of us we all had to keep going up for drinks, there is no ice creams included within the all inclusive package around the pool, there are ice creams but these can only be eaten during meal times in the restaurant, there are ice lollies available for a price. We had a good time here due to venturing out to the surrounding areas but I wouldn’t return to this particular hotel.
