Food. 20 of 25 reviews mention it — 7 positive, 1 critical.
  • “Overall the hotel grounds are stunning, the service is generally quite good particularly service to sun lounger, the food is good but the breakfast buffet is quite small for size of hotel, more live cooking stations would go far.”
  • “I’ve read negative reviews regarding juice and coffee at breakfast, not sure why the complaint the minute we sat we were served.”
  • “We stayed half board and the food was delicious every night and always very hot.”
  • “Don’t get to breakfast any later than 9am as it’s like a bun fight after that time, the buffet if not big enough for when the hotel is at full capacity and the staff around the hotel not overly friendly, just going through the motions.”

3/5People don’t know how to behave, hotel is inconsistent1 Aug 26

5/5Exceptional1 Jul 26

My sister in law and myself stayed in July and had the most amazing time. It is all you would expect from a 5 star hotel. I’ve read negative reviews regarding juice and coffee at breakfast, not sure why the complaint the minute we sat we were served. The service throughout the hotel was exceptional especially the pool bar service. We stay…

5/5Pure bliss!1 Jul 26

Beautiful weather, friendly staff, very clean and comfortable. Pool is wonderful, the food has been great at each place we ate at so far. The beach is extremely nice!

4/5We won’t return because of music & sunbed wars1 Jul 26

This was our 6th year staying here and while there a lots of positives we have decided that this will be our last. Check in is very quick and easy and our room is normally ready before 12pm which is great. The rooms are a good size but are becoming a little dated. This year was the first year that we saw major sunbed wars - you are not al…
