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.

7 Plácido August 2025 The best thing about the hotel is the variety of activities and entertainment. In addition to the pool. Spacious rooms.
Lo mejor del hotel es la cantidad de actividades y animación. Además de la piscina. Habitaciones amplias
The cleanliness leaves much to be desired, as well as the food at the hotel (little variety and very repetitive).
La limpieza deja mucho que desear, al igual que la comida del hotel ( poca variedad y muy repititiva ).

7 Virginia Travelled with family August 2025 The animation was very good. The furniture looks updated. There were no problems getting hammocks by the pool.
La animacion estaba muy bien. El mobiliario se ve actualizado. No había problemas para obtener hamacas en la piscina
The buffet is terrible. A lot of hard or raw food, tasteless, poorly made. The snack bar for the all-inclusive would close before time and sometimes children would miss their snack.
El buffet es malísimo. Mucha comida dura o cruda,sin sabor, hecha de mala manera. El snack bar para el todo incluido lo cerraban antes de la hora y los peques a veces se quedaban sin merendar

4.7 Celia Travelled with  friends August 2025 The slide area is good. The little ones love it.
La zona de toboganes está bien. A los más peques les encanta.
The buffet food is very bad, tasteless and with little variety. There are many people and few food areas. At night, during shows or games, there are not enough tables/chairs for all the guests staying at the hotel, and everyone ends up in the pool loungers. The pool bar closes before the scheduled time.
La comida del buffet es muy mala, sin sabor y con poca variedad. Hay mucha gente y poca zona de comida. De noche, en los espectáculos o juegos. No hay mesas/Silas para todo el personal alojado en el hotel y termina todo el mundo en las hamacas de la piscina. El bar de la piscina cierra antes del horario establecido.

8.6 Hugo Travelled with family August 2025 The animation is definitely the best. All the staff is excellent and very friendly.
La animación son lo mejor sin duda. Todo el personal excelente y muy amable.
The buffet is definitely the worst part of the hotel. Monotonous, very poor quality, and scarce for so many attendees.
El buffet es sin duda es lo peor del hotel. Monotono, calidad muy carente y escaso para tantos asistentes.

4.4 Maria Jesus Travelled with family August 2025 The best thing was the pool for the children, the room was not bad either because it was clean and the beds were comfortable, but the worst part was the food, it was terrible, the meat was tough and overcooked, the paella had several kilos of salt, the vegetables were full of oil, in short, everything was inedible. The all-inclusive package had restrictions on cocktails, the service staff seemed bitter except for one called Juan who was an excellent worker and always kind, in the end we were very disappointed with the food and many people were complaining as well, a shame, those were not chefs, it was the worst food I have ever tasted and very little variety, thank you.
Lo mejor la piscina para los niños , la habitación tampoco estaba mal porque estaban limpias y las camas confortables pero lo peor fue la comida estaba malísima la carne dura mal hecha la paella con varios kilos de sal ,la verdura llena de aceite en fin incomible todo , el todo incluido con restricciones en los coktails el personal de servicio parecían amargados excepto uno llamado Juan que era un crack de trabajador y siempre con palabras amables , en fin vinimos muy disgustados con la comida y muchísima gente se estaba quejando igual , una pena , eso no eran cocineros es la peor comida que he probado nunca y muy poca variedad , gracias
Of course, I would change the cooks in the dining room and hire professional people who would provide decent food, and do some aesthetic touch-ups of the hotel that are deteriorated by time, and improve the all-inclusive package which is the worst I have ever had and I have visited many hotels throughout my life, and I would give the staff a customer service training except for the entertainment staff. They were good people and Juan from the dining room, who is the best by far.
Por supuesto cambiaría a los cocineros del comedor y pondría gente profesional que diera comida decente , y algunos retoques de estética del hotel que están deteriorados por el tiempo y mejoraría el todo incluido que es el peor al que he dio y ya he visitado muchos hoteles a lo largo de mi vida , y al personal le daria un curso de amabilidad con el cliente menos a los de animación. Que eran buena gente y a Juan del comedor que es el mejor con diferencia,

9.7 Emilio Jose Travelled with family August 2025 "All...the food was excellent, very peaceful for August and without excessive queues for the restaurant. The room was very large and the terrace was spectacular...I didn't even touch the room. 2215. But the best thing without a doubt is the entertainment...how amazing they are...We will definitely come back next year."
Todo...la comida buenísima, muy tranquilo para ser agosto y sin excesivas colas para el restaurante. La habitación muy grande y la terraza espectacular...no toco la habitación. 2215. Pero lo mejor sin duda es la animación ...increíbles lo buenos que son... Volvemos el año que viene sin duda.
The first night there were ants in the room. But they solved it immediately and there were no more problems.
La primera noche había hormigas en la hab. Pero lo solucionaron de inmediato y no hubo más problemas

8 Gonzalo Travelled with family August 2025 The hotel animation is very good, especially for children, where Miguel and Juanma stand out. The pool is very nice with a slide, not crowded and close to the beach, you can walk there. Dirt car park in front of the hotel so there is no need to use car park (check rates at reception). Comfortable beds and the whole hotel is very clean. The staff is excellent. Recommended overall.
La animación del hotel es muy buena, especialmente para niños, donde destacan Miguel y Juanma. Piscina está muy bien con un tobogán, no masificado y cerca de la playa, se puede ir andando. Parking de tierra delante del hotel por lo que no es necesario coger parking de pago. Camas cómodas y todo el hotel muy limpio. El personal de 10. Recomendable en general
The food is not particularly good, there is not too much variety. The room had torn blackout curtains and they did not close properly.
La comida no es especialmente buena, no hay demasiada variedad. La habitación tenía las cortinas (blackout) rasgadas y no cerraban correctamente.
