Booked through Travelzoo for a late holiday, all-inclusive. Hotel claims 4 star rating (deserved) and was very good in virtually all respects. Rooms were kept clean, as was the rest of the hotel. Food quality and variety was excellent. Breakfast was far superior to the 4 star Best Western outside Colchester stayed at just a few weeks ago. Luncha and dinner had more choices than anywhere else I have stayed. Whilst most of the clients were German, there was no problem being British. Included drinks were generously served and available all day without question. Evening entertainment was available, but not forced down your throat as in some hotels. Hotel grounds border the promenade road with beach 10 metres away. All rooms seem to have a sea-view from their balcony. Rooms, though smallish, had a fridge, TV and hairdryer, as well as air conditioning. Satff were all friendly and waiting staff were properly trained - this is becoming a rarity in hotels and restaurants around the world. Felt at ease in the hotel - not a stranger or an unwelcome guest there for the money alone.
The only down point was the very average coffee. I have become something of an afficianado over time and am probably too fussy.
Overall, the best all-inclusive holiday we have ever had. I would have no hesitation in recommending it to my friends or in returning there again - can't say that about many places I have been. Hotel is part of a chain - Hoteles Globales, and we discovered that we had (unknowingly) stayed at another of their hotels in Tenerife a few years ago. That one too was really good.
