“Quiet, relaxing, clean. Great Pool. Nothing to do. Poor Food.”
Im 26, my fiance is 23. We were looking for a quiet break with minimal nightlife, that's what we got. POSTIVES: Pool is best I've visited. Hotel has a private beach. Getting sunloungers was pretty easy, it never felt crowded (although we did go just before UK school hols). Not many British there. Weather was always perfect. Hotel is modern and spotless. Room had seperate toilet. Good sea view. Good atmosphere. Aircon was on in our room 24/7, maintained a perfect temperature, was silent and didnt dry the air out. NEGATIVES: On day of arrival room isnt available until 1pm- had to wait in lobby for an hour. Staff want tips, and sometimes have to make a point of asking for change. Cleaner came in room a number of times for no other reason than to say hello (ie wait for a tip). Food was not to my taste, and not much else nearby. Got by on staples of pasta, rice. Breakfast was ok though- European style. Would recommend going half board at the most, as the lunches arent great, and even if you bought them every day you'd save money. Plus, we didnt always fancy lunch when it was hot. There is no nightlife, but I liked that as we just wanted to relax, and I'm an old man in a young mans body! This was very much a break from work, and I didnt want late and loud nights. The beach is clean, there are jetskis, paragliding, banana boats, and other inflatables, but this is expensive for short periods. Anyone going with Monarch, we had to call the UK to get details of our return transfer as there was no rep, however this was because we were the only guests there. And we had a direct transfer by car both ways. The Thomas Cook Rep, Phil, will also help anyone out with anything if needed, so long as you pay him/Thomas Cook for whatever he sorts. Its easier to pick on the negatives, but please take this as a postive review. Theres nothing to do there, but if that's what you want, its perfect.
