A disaster. Dirty rooms. No one cleans. Food very modest and poor. All inclusive is a misunderstanding. No entertainment and animation. Staff incompetent.

We stayed here for 2 nights in April, they had a lot of hen and stag parties which we were happy with, it was very entertaining. The rooms were clean and cleaners came in everyday. The hotel staff were OK, a bit moody, the all inclusive is only till 10pm not 11pm and they don't have morning snacks, so if you miss breakfast you have to wait till dinner.

The hotel is simple but location is good and the beer and food as expected. Don't book if you are looking for a 5 star experience but perfect for what we wanted. Booking next year!

We were sceptical after reading reviews and prepared ourselves for a rowdy stay but it was one of quietest places we have stayed! Excellent location between old town and strip and commercial centre at end of the road. We had a spacious corner studio, very comfortable beds and good sized bathroom. Free WIFI in reception and cheap hire safe in rooms. We had a room overlooking pool which was lovely but we got very little sun. We had requested a high floor with afternoon sun but got 3rd floor with very little morning sun. We did ask to move but were told they put large groups on top floor so decided to stay where we were. Would rate these apartments higher if they were cleaner, that was our only negative, the cleanliness of apartment, mirror in hallway and doors were coated in months of dust, bathroom floor edges don't look as if they have ever been cleaned. For the price we paid we were happy with apartments and enjoyed our holiday.

Room was basic however had everything we needed and was clean. Nice pool area however limited sun loungers so need to get up early to get one. Staff at the hotel were friendly and helpful. Perfect location between the old and new town. I would stay here again.

Was all inclusive and the hotel was very short staffed. Pedro and the bar lad were great just couldn't be everywhere at once; I would stand at the bar for 20 minutes in the afternoon waiting for a drink. It wasn't the cheapest hotel to book, it was supposed to be a 4 star - no chance, it's a 2 star and no more. There was no choice of food at all, take what ever comes. I don't like Macdonalds but I had a lot while there which is pretty close to the hotel. I should of asked to move hotels really, you know when you're there for a week you don't want to be sorting all that out; before you know it you have missed your holiday. Sorry for the negativity the hotel is not what it advertises.

I was disappointed when I arrived with reception area, as hotel is rated a 4 star as this sets the first view of hotel, we had stopped on way at 3 star to drop off, there was no comparison. I have to say apartment was large and clean. Although I was self catering the choice of food for all inclusive for a 4 star was very poor. The pool area was just ok, few sun loungers and step into deep end of pool was broken at bottom. There would need to be a rail to hold onto getting in and out of other end of pool. I would really class hotel as a 2 star. Not sure if I would stay here again. I have stayed in 2 star in Benidorm but I knew I had booked 2 star, in this case I booked 4 star but didn't get that.

The hotel was fine if a little tired. Well situated, 2 mins from shopping mall and 10 mins walk to old town and beach.
