I stayed at the One Resort with my sister for a 4 day break at the end of September 2010. What a bonus as the price was excellent with Thomas Cook, albeit Thomas Cook did not have any photographs, we did find reviews and photos on internet sites. The weather was fine but it did rain, however we did lay on the beach and get a slight tan.
The tranfser from the airport is only 10 minutes which is ideal for a short break, waiting for us at the hotel was the manager with a cocktail whilst we completed checking-in. The closeness of the airport did not affect us at all as they planes took off in the opposite direction and we only heard them on odd occasions. The close vicinity was a plus.
All the staff were all extremely poilte, helpful and courteous. The food was excellent, a wide choice of hot, cold, fish, meat etc. All inclusive was excellent, bottled water supplied and even ice lollies given to you free on the beach!
The rooms were clean but do need refurbishment, however this did not spoil the holiday. Did have a tv in the room but could not find an English channel. Hotel mainly had German guests.
The camel trail half day was really fun and worth a go - lunch included.
The 24 hour bar around the pool area is open all night long on all inclusive even for food such as pasta, lasagne, burger/chips etc. The disco even provides drinks on the all inclusive plan free of charge! The spa was free for the sauna and indoor pool the reflexology/massage was reasonable prices.
The hotel has two outdoor pools with a third separate childrens pool.
You can pay a small charge for a private beach cubicle where waiters serve you all day. There is also a beach restaurant.
Did not try the pay extra restaurant as we was completely satisfied and pleased with the all inclusive restaurant which you could have unlmited wine with all meals.
Entertainment spot on, available but not "in your face" if you did not want it.
Particular compliments for being friendly, helpful, polite and courteous go to the dining room staff, the poolside bar/restaurant staff and the night watchmen/security
The only gripes albeit petty ones, was the service in the cocktail bar where the staff were slow and grumpy and check your change when cashing in money at reception!
A wonderful friendly hotel, service, value for money, everything. Would defintely go back there.
