The biggest catfish going: Firstly, I apologise if you genuinely enjoyed staying here, maybe I’m snobby? I’ll accept that title today. We weren’t obviously expecting 5* but we did pay £500 each for the package for 4 nights so it was hardly cheap. We arrived on a Monday afternoon, after a 1.5hr transfer on a bus with screaming kids (never again, private transfer all the way) we were peckish. We headed to the room first, which in all fairness was clean and ok, a little dated but exactly as expected for the cost. The balconies are very close together but not a huge big deal. Only one pillow and the classic euro sheets only, no duvet. Aircon is included and decent, if you want to watch TV or use the safe you have to go pay extra at reception. The shower had very good pressure, too much maybe, I nearly lost a n*pple at one point. We also were left fighting for our lives battling the shower curtain that was clingier than your Nan’s toy poodle. The walls are paper thin, we could clearly hear a couple having a barney 2 doors down where a bloke was calling a lady a horrible c**t multiple times, that was nice. We managed to sleep ok except for being woken at 3-4am by our neighbour being violently sick which we could hear very clearly through the walls. It gave you that panicked feeling when you wake up to hear one of your pets hacking up on the bed, it certainly felt that close. We then headed down to check out the snack bar… this is when our main concern kicked in. Unlabelled stale grim looking food. Miscellaneous meat bathing in a swamp that I wouldn’t feed to my dog, soggy chips and tasteless sausages. We ate some chips as we needed some food. The place has the feel of a prison canteen. Dinner wasn’t much better. More selection but most a little questionable, grey looking burgers being cooked in view and tasted vile. At least food was labelled this time. We survived on salad and chips and some fruit. They do treat you to real glasses (thimbles) for soft drinks at meal times though which was a real upgrade from our plastic kiddy cups described below. We then headed to the bar to collect our cup (The only cup to be used for the whole holiday, rinsed out and reused, fair enough but I prefer my wine in a wine glass. Usually prefer a choice of wine too rather than just white, red, rosé.) When the barman picked up our cups he picked up 3 and dropped one and tried to kick it up into is hand, failed, kicked it around the floor; he then picked it up and put it back on the shelf. The bar drinks were ok, machine made cocktails, beer and wine on tap, standard soft drinks. No real beef with this given all inclusivity. The entertainment in the evening wasn’t really to our taste, classic Butlins style, but if that’s your thing maybe you’ll enjoy!? After this we immediately started looking for alternative accommodation. It was too late in the day to escape tonight so we had to wait and escape tomorrow. Luckily we managed to find somewhere and are for
