Hotel has nice rooms (we had a family room), pool is quite nice but unfortunately no view of sea (and is middle of quite deserted holdiay area). Food was very average - very mediocre buffet at night. Beach is lovely, only 5 minute shuttle, but as wehave small kids we had to have lunch at the hotel pool bar. This is the major gripe of our stay - £5 a beer, £10 for a very average and ham and cheese sandwich. Simple lunch for 2 adults and 2 kids came to over £50 every day and as there wasn't another option we ended up feeling ripped off by the hotel (and Mark Warner). The hotel staff were quite rude too. A couple of nice waiters but on the whole they weren't particularly helpful and often a bit moody. We have holidayed with Mark Warner in 4 different resorts so we know how good they can be when they get it right. We won't be returning here.
