Where do I start with this hotel! I booked last minute because I didn't have time to apply for visas to my preferred destination but desperately needed a holiday. The rooms are clean and of a good standard - rooms serviced every day by the same regular cleaner who was excellent. There was a fridge in the room but this used the one and only plug socket in the room so I had to unplug so that I could use my hair straighteners and phone charger.
The food in the all inclusive restaurant was well prepared and plentiful but very "samey" every day. Breakfast was definately best meal of the day. The staff in the restaurant were excellent. The all inclusive bar was a little disappointing. The actual bar is very uninviting and dull. The barman was excellent and always poured me a glass of red as soon as I walked in but other guests were complaining that the bar regularly ran out of spirits or beer.
This wasn't an issue for me as I'm not a huge drinker. The animation team consisted of three young lads who were just having a ball!! It was like seeing the Chuckle Brothers on tour!! They mimed everything and the dance routines were like something from They mimed everything and the dance routines were like something from a primary school nativity!
They tried to get everybody involved but they lacked experience and props. It was annoying that when I crashed out by the pool Fedi thought it funny to tickle my feet to wake me up - the only way I could guarantee proper rest was to go to bed! There is a night club on the premises that is open to all and stays open unitl 4am - Great for the youngsters but how the management can deny that prostitutes operate there is an absolute farce!
They actually have rooms on permanent rent to facilitate their business and sit brazenly in the hotel reception. This is not a hotel that I would take children to. The hotel is known locally as a "dirty" hotel because of the activities of the hookers. The hotel is local to the beach and the marina and even out of season I found plenty to do.
