    They could have managed our expectations on check in better - we advised as to arrival time (approx 9am) and they said on our arrival that check in was 2pm, but they would prioritise our room cleaning. We actually didnt get into our room until 1.50pm - which didnt feel like much of a priorty. We had half board, and didnt really like the way you felt a bit forced to pay to upgrade to all inclusive.

    The resort is beautiful, set on the beach in beautifully manicured gardens, and has a lovely large pool and smaller one nearer to our room. The beach front location was a great spot to lay on the sunbeds and watch the beach life carry on. Every meal I had with them was 'my favourite yet', and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Free use of the watersport equipment was also a good touch.

    Loved our stay but a few things that could make it even better - they could do with having better coffee available all day for all-inclusive guests and better coffee at breakfast (latte, cappuccino etc). There were no child size life vests at the sports centre - and only 1 or 2 working adult sized ones - they could do with investing in some.

    Beautiful location, big, clean rooms, food was delicious (one vegetarian in the family and plenty of options for them too). Had a few issues on day 1 but the manager was very quick to resolve them all, so we felt extremely we'll looked after. Spa staff and treatments were excellent.

    The Wifi was poor, the activities calendar of what was on when, on such as aqua aerobics and yoga etc, could have been made more prominent, perhaps on display in the reception area, as we didn't realise there was a noticeboard detailing events for a few days as it's tucked away.

    Large airy and very clean rooms with big comfortable beds and good air con. The food was superb, and the staff were excellent, so friendly and helpful at every stage, the evening entertainment of singers and dancers was good. The massage in the spa was very good.

    Even though a great place to stay, it does not deserve to be a 5 star hotel. The service and facilities does not quite match up to what you would expect of a 5 star hotel. The hotel is also in need of a refurbishment.

    Great location. Friendly and attentive staff.

    The WiFi wasn't well set-up at first, the codes were not working which meant that we needed to keep requesting the front office to give us short codes, maybe you could explore another WiFi solution?

    The experience from airport pick up was very smooth and seamless, the driver we were allocated to was very patient with us . Our room was prepared in advance and we enjoyed the serenity, the meals were freshly prepared and with good variety, the staff were so kind especially when we once forgot to lock our valuables they went the extra mile to guard them till we returned to the room.
