Didn’t really know what to expect before we got here as I read one or two bad reviews but that was soon put to bed.
As a small family we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone. The staff were courteous and efficient and the hotel clean with lots of the little touches you expect from 5 star. A fantastic week in the winter sun was had by all. We will definitely book here again.

An amazing hotel, very comfy large rooms, with everything you need, bathrobes & slippers, fresh towels everyday, fresh bottle water each day, tea & coffee making facilities, large comfy bed, food fantastic, wide range catering for everybody, at the buffet & snack bar. The Italian was fabulous. Staff right through the hotel really pleasant & helpful. Loads pools which were spotless, adult chill out zone my favourite. Entertainment not great for adults, but fantastic for children, real family friendly hotel.

A lovely hotel, very family based. The staff are so friendly and welcoming. There is a good selection of food on offer although I often found the food cold, but there is a microwave available.
The room we had was very big, on the ground floor overlooking the sea. You just couldn’t fault it.
Free use of towels for the pool and no charge for the safety deposit boxes. All hotels we had stayed at in the past have charged for these.
There is an adult only pool and part of the dinning room is sectioned off for adults only but there is no bar just for adults , so in the evening in the sports bar children are running around quite a lot.
The adult entertainment is outside so in January when we were there it was very cold. Definitely need a heavy coat, long trousers etc.

Accommodation is not 5 star it is 4 at best, the staff are very helpful and friendly and the hotel accommodates most people’s wishes however the communal areas are in needs of a refit, the food selection was very good but everything was cold and the birds flying around and cats in the dining room were put off.
For kids there was plenty to do but the entertainment on an evening was very poor.
The rooms are great we stayed in the merlin room which was very spacious and comfortable
