Stayed at this hotel late September, weather was poor for a few days but there is nothing anyone can do about this... The transfer time is a bit too long for us and made worse by there only being one coach for about thirty people all arriving at various times, we landed at 9.30am but didn't reach our hotel until after 1pm!
The hotel is clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. The rooms are like little flats on a complex with the pools and the restaurant in the middle of the site. It gave you a nice private feeling. We stayed in a small suite with a separate lung but I would have preferred just a room with everything in one place cause you couldn't watch tv in bed in a suite. The bathrooms are lovely with a power shower very clean and modern. The pools are clean and the area is very well looked after but for couples without children this is a very noisy complex, I think one of the pools would be better being adult only,
The only thing to really spoil this hotel was the absolutely terrible food! There was never anything to make a nice meal, all bits and bobs of things that did not go together. The veg was always over cooked and unappetising and even the salad bar was rubbish. We ate out a lot even for breakfast when we went half board which was a real waste of money, if I went again I would do the room only option and eat out every day, there was some lovely places to eat in Cala'dor and the shops for trinkets and gifts were brilliant. The beaches are small coves which got a little bit crowded so in summer it must be terrible but there is quite a lot to do there for families and the beaches are very safe as there isn't a long way for kids to wander off. If it wasn't for the ridiculous transfer I would definitely visit this hotel again but thought the transfer spoilt it for us.
The Chinese down the road from the hotel was rubbish, they advertise cheap meals outside but that is a set meal and not worth the money.
We drank in the Carrabell bar every night because there was not a lot of places still open in September but this was a brilliant friendly bar and once they got to know your face they greeted you every night. They did two for one on all drinks which worked out pretty good.
We never stayed in the hotel on an evening for the entertainment so cannot comment except to say that if it rains you have nothing there because all the entertainment is on an outside stage.
All in all nice resort nice hotel but bit too far from the airport.
