Stayed in apartment here Sept/Oct 11. We requested a sea view which we duly got, we were in block 1 which is the block yet to be refurbished, understand that they are being done in time for 2012 season. Sea view lovely, but unfortunately it meant that the lovely balcony was in the shade all of the day, this seemed to be the case for several of the apartments in this block. However we got the sun at the front door, where I sat when my toddler was having her afternoon nap!
The room we had was adequate and pretty spacious, spotlessly clean and a small cuddly seahorse was in my daughters cot when we arrived which she loved and I thought was a lovely touch.
The hotel is in a great location as others have said, a few minutes walk from a lovely beach. There are plenty of shops and restaurants around, although we were all inclusive, so didn’t eat out. The staff in this hotel are almost without exception very friendly, efficient and happy to help, always have a smile on their faces, a credit to the hotel! My toddler daughter loved Carmen in the restaurant and one of the other ladies whose name I can’t remember (sorry), and also several of the guys too. They were all great with the children. Dada in the bar was great too and always had a friendly smile.
The entertainment team worked really hard with the shows and always had a smile and a word for every-one, may not be every-ones cup of tea, but can’t fault the effort and they are great with the kids too.
The food we found was excellent, the salad bar fantastic, always fresh and loads to choose from. There was plenty of choice for the main meals, lots of fish as you would expect, the desserts, lots of the mousse type deserts that you normally get, but also a delicious strawberry cheesecake, profiteroles and my hubby’s favourite of apple flan.
As others have mentioned there aren’t many English in this hotel, or the resort in general, not a problem for us, but worth mentioning.
We hired one of the four seater bikes and went out down the cycle lane along the front, it was lovely as we went late afternoon when the weather was more acceptable and we went a long way in just an hour, it cost 6 euro for the hour.
The only slightly negative feedback I could give is that we couldn’t see an info book in English, although reception did have one in various languages.
We booked our holiday through sunshine.co.uk and used their transfer service, which we found the cheapest, they were great too, no delays, journey from airport to the hotel took around an hour and a quarter.
All in all, a great holiday, fab location and great hotel, would recommend.
