This Hotel would be perfect for a family holiday with the children. Two pools, Buffet restaurant with a good selection of Continental and fast food (Children s choice of Chicken Nuggets, Burgers, Sausage Baked Beans and more) which is good for all the family. Also if you have booked all Inclusive there are two outside bar's and one snack bar where alcohol, soft drinks and light snacks such as toasties burgers and hot dogs are served all day. The Entertainment was varied from night to night all seemed to be of a good standard. One problem i would say if i was booking as a family, the Hotel is set on the opposite side of the bay from the central attractions, But the beach is only down a set of steps.
Where it went wrong, i actually booked this hotel with a group of 12 of my friends who are all big bear like rugby players from the Rhondda Valleys. This hotel was strongly advise to us by our operator as a party hotel suitable for groups and families alike. When we first arrived the hotel looked clean and well decorated, we was given our all inclusive bands and dropped our bags to the rooms. the rooms where a typical Spanish holiday hotel room with air-con and black out curtains.
After coming in late after the first night of mischief, we was greeted by an un-happy receptionist who was telling us to keep quiet (I Thought this was odd as we was sold this hotel as being a party hotel!!). The next morning we have the manager knocking on our door complaining that we were being to loud and our rooms where untidy (come on we are a group of testosterone fuel lads on holiday what else could they expect?).
I would say it was the day after this occurrence when a family was actually allocated the room next to us! fantastic! As the holiday went on we could seem them becoming un happy with the situation (which would have something to do with us, But mainly the Hotel or the tour operators fault for putting them next to us / advising us to stay at this hotel). We received a letter under our door saying that we had a meeting with the manager and our rep. Me and another member of our party met with them and they concluded that we had to be removed form this holiday and as it was a peak period no other hotel would be offered! Bearing in mind this was a 14day holiday and we was booted out after 10 days without a refund!
We also we slammed with having to pay for our own flight home!
To summarize, this is Good for Families but not for groups of Boys / Girls
