Strange Hotel, no soul, felt like a hospital . It appears that the positive reviews on this property are not real. The hotel bears no resemblance to the reviews. The hotel is cold and uninviting. You are forced to wear wristbands to distinguish you from other guests depending on what your meal service is or even if you are room only. This process is strictly enforced.Some staff members are extremely rude and treat guests with total distain. The. Meal programmes were not as sold to guests .Many items were not available. The food was cold, repetitive, and lacked any nourishment. They were strict regulations regarding the level of soiled towels. If the towels were particularly dirty, there was a charge to the guests . The car parking fee was €15 per day. Room inspections took place at random to check if guests had brought any drinks or any food into the room. One guest had a warning letter issued to them. an older couple with strict dietary needs. There was an atmosphere of fear around the property. Speaking with many local restauranters, the property is well known for poor food and strange service. The guests we spoke to were extremely upset and disappointed with the property. It was an experience we will never forget. The leadership was totally unresponsive. So guests reported gastric issues, and some were confined to their rooms . Please be careful if you ever have the misfortune to stay at this hotel.

As a British couple in our early thirties we were apprehensive after reading some reviews, however, our stay was pleasant and enjoyable overall. Pros: rooms were very clean and modern, waterfall shower, good size overall. The decor of the hotel was also nice, and spacious. The drinks (beer and white/rose/red wine) were on tap for you to pour from 10am and wine glasses/330ml Coca Cola glasses are available to use. There was plenty of food and it was replenished often. The staff were mostly friendly. There was entertainment on at night (live singers or music playing), and some entertainment during the day for children. The hotel has a private beach, which was a good size so you don’t need to fight for a sun bed at any time. The beach also offers free paddle boards to use. The hotel has an excursion provider and the prices are reasonable - the excursions change day by day so i recommend checking these out as soon as you arrive. On each floor there was a water fountain with cold, filtered water so you could fill up any bottles. They provide you with a jug in the rooms too for this purpose. If you spend a bit extra for a sea view room, the views onto the bay are just amazing - I would recommend this. Cons: the food, though a fair selection, was not always of a good quality. Very average pasta/meat/veg dishes. On most days the meat dishes were very overcooked, and the pasta was quite bland. Having said that, they do have a whole array of seasoning to add to dishes which I have never seen before, and my partner commented that one particular lamb dish was very good, so I would say ‘hit and miss’. There wasn’t much variety between the food served at lunch and at dinner. Be prepared to queue as the actual hot food area was relatively small, and there are a lot of guests. There is a terrace for drinks only but I think this could be nicer, it is just the same standard basic chairs/table but maybe a sofa or two would be nice to include, which would improve the feel overall. The cocktails included with all inclusive were mostly undrinkable. I would recommend the Carine Hotel cocktail or a pina colada - they have a machine which makes the cocktails in a second, but the spirits used are very low quality, which is a shame. The beach does not have sand, only gravel, including into the water too so make sure to bring sea shoes (they can be bought at the hotel gift shop for €10 too!). The indoor pool is fine, the outdoor pool is small and used mainly by children. The aircon in our room, while it worked, felt more like a fan. At night, there would be one cool area (at the end of the bed), and everywhere else was hot. I struggled to sleep well due to this but I accept it could be worse. Location wise; there is really not much about in walking distance at all. There is a ***** along the front with a few nice restaurants/cafes (around 4 - Bura was nice), and a small shop approx 10 min walk away, but other than that, we struggled. Most of the ‘main attractions’ are o
