6.9 Patricia Travelled with couple June 2025
Buffetten waren uitgebreid, show cooking had lekkere gerechten gemaakt door sympathieke koks. Mooie omgeving !
Heel gehorige kamers (kamer met tussendeur). Heel erg druk omwille van jeugdgroepen die doorheen het hele hotel ongecontroleerd hun gang gingen en vooral in het restaurant enorm veel lawaai en chaos veroorzaakten. Restaurant erg ongezellig... 'refter' zou een betere omschrijving zijn.

9.4 Marce Travelled with family September 2025 What I liked the most is the service in the bars, the speed of the service, and the treatment of the waiters. The customer service is top-notch.
Lo que más me ha gustado es el servicio de los bares, la rapidez en el servicio y el trato de los camareros. El servicio de atención al cliente es de diez.
I didn't like the beach at all. You have to travel to visit several very beautiful beaches and villages.
La playa no me ha gustado nada. Hay que desplazarse a visitar varias playas y pueblos muy bonitos.

7.7 Juan Miguel Travelled with couple September 2025 The installation of the pool and the entertainment team.
La instalación de la piscina y el equipo de animacion
The room we were given had a door with a latch, if you opened it you informed with the adjoining room. I understand that these rooms may be for families with children who want to have two connecting rooms, but the latch is not appropriate, they should have a lock with a key that is given to guests. On several occasions, you could hear the guests in the next room trying to open the door. The air in the dining room was excessively high. The buffet could improve in quality.
La habitación que nos dieron tenía una puerta con un pestillo, si la abrías te comunicabas con la habitación colindante. Entiendo que estás habitaciones pueden ser para familias con hijos que quieran tener dos habitaciones comunicadas, pero el pestillo no es lo adecuado, deberían tener una cerradura con llave que se le entregase a los huéspedes. En repetidas ocasiones, se escuchaba como los huéspedes de la habitación de al lado intentaban abrir la puerta. El aire del comedor, excesivamente alto. El Buffet podría mejorar calidad.

9.4 Esther Travelled with couple September 2025 Spectacular animation. The whole atmosphere in general. The pool is very good.
Animación espectacular. Todo el ambiente en general. La piscina muy bien.
Chaos during meal times. Although the schedule is very flexible which is a plus. And the food, although tasty, many dishes needed more cooking.
Caos en las horas de la comida. Aunque el horario es super amplio y por ese lado se mejora. Y la comida aunque rica muchas platos necesitaban más cocción.

7.1 Ruben Travelled with family September 2025 The meal times are very good, as they are designed for a Spanish audience.
Los horarios de las comidas son muy buenos, ya que están pensados para público español
The cleanliness of the main areas is very poor, the elevator is dirty if you look at it from above. The food is not labeled with allergens, this makes you either have to ask all the time or just not eat some things that could contain the allergen.
La limpieza de las zonas comunes es muy mala, el ascensor si miras por arriba está sucio. La comida no está etiquetada con los alérgenos, eso hace que o tengas que preguntar todo el rato o directamente no comer de algunas cosas que podrían llevar el alérgeno

8 Sebastián Travelled with family September 2025 Spectacular animation and charming animators
La animación espectacular y los animadores encantadores
Well, I would say a little more variety in the meals and a little more cleaning is needed, at least in the rooms.
Bueno yo diría un poco más de variedad en las comidas y la limpieza un poco más le hace falta más limpieza por lo menos en las habitaciones

4.9 Jesus Travelled with family September 2025 Nothing, I was looking forward to leaving... Poor quality and variety in the food, plenty of staff but very unprofessional, facilities lacking hygiene and cleanliness...
Nada, estaba deseando irme… Mala calidad y variedad en la comida, mucho personal pero muy poco profesional, instalaciones con falta de higiene y limpieza….
The cleaning is terrible, the pools are full of cigarette butts, and in general, there is a lack of hygiene throughout the premises. I wouldn't come back even for free!
La limpieza fatal, las piscinas llenas de colillas y en general falta bastante higiene en todo el recinto. No volvería ni gratis!
