Absolutely brilliant holiday and even more special wedding!! The hotel is fantastic and caters for all needs and wants. The Thomas Cook brochure photographs do the refurbishments no favors as it was 100% better on arrival and we did feel that as a travel company they didn't know a lot about the changes. Anyway, the hotel itself could not have been better. It’s the cleanest resort weve ever stayed in, and the service provided by all the staff was outstanding. All the restaurants serve wonderful food, and the main buffet hall changes theme each night yet always serves salads, pasta, pizzas, and kids food, its just one of the hot sections changes to suit the nightly theme. Even though it is buffet, you could not ask for nicer food, and it is kept well stocked all night, and at lunch time also.
With regards to our wedding, it was just perfect. The inhouse wedding coordinator Sally was just superb, even though there are weddings happening each day, she makes it feel like yours is the “special” one, she really cares. We managed to reserve (at a small cost) a 5pm ceremony which I thoroughly recommend as the heat is more bearable then, however still hot. Also by having a later wedding it ensures the rest of the day flows really nicely whereas we witnessed some couples getting married at lunchtime and then were back in the swimming pool to kill time until the reception in the evening. We had our wedding in the gardens and the reception there also, it was the most expensive of venues but by far the best and so worth it!! We had our own private bar setup just for our guests and we decided on the bbq buffet which was just beautiful.
The Fishermans Village is fantastic accommodation and adds the Wow factor to your holiday. The air conditioning was awesome and the maids cleaned the apartments twice a day sometimes, replenishing towels all the time.
The only thing I would say on a slightly negative note is that I would like there to have been one more restaurant for an all-inclusive resort, and the entertainment provided in both bars in the evening I didn’t find nesseccary every night. If one has entertainment on then I think the other should just be left as a bar playing modern background music.
All in all it was a brilliant holiday and wedding and we will certainly be going back in future years.
Our thanks go out to all the staff, in particular Sally (wedding Co-ordinator), Elle (Customer Relations) and Laura (Thomas Cook wedding coordinator) for making it such a special occasion and stay.
