  : It was not expensive, not huge but causy. There was an abondance in food and sofr drinks. The swimming pool and other facilities were not too crowded.
  : If you have something that doesn't work in the room, you need to ask 3 to 5 times to get it fixed, and sometimes it was not fixed.

  : The hotel itself was cozy. Got a hotel 2br apartment and it was spacious. Food was like all the time so never got timeTo get hungry. Some small shows during evening when dinner but not everyday and not such for kids. Some of the staff was really nice.
  : Our room had a gecko in there. Not a big problem but it shouldnt be any animal crawling around. The room got cleaned everyday but still it didnt feel clean enough. Felt still dirty on our feet and I didnt think our towels got changed not even once. Me, husband and 16yo got food poisoned the last 3 days. So it wasnt nice. The food wasnt cooked in a proper way, especially the seafood. The pool was a bit to cold, could have been warmer even tho it was hot in the air. Not so many people swim.

  : Lovely property, rooms were comfortable, the food was good with a good variety although breakfast couldve been better. Good drinks offerings available. Overall, good value for money.
  : There was very little entertainment on offer and the what there was, was badly or not presented whatsoever by the staff. This was the only thing that let it down as the bar staff, restaurant staff and housekeeping were absolutely excellent.

  : There is a manager Osman Badem that gave me excellent service and was extremely helpful. Shuttle service to beach was also good.
  : Firstly I would say 90% of staff speak no English or German. Found the receptionists extremely unhelpful and one in particular has a very bad attitude. No towels in room on arrival. Rooms need updating. Took hours to have the room serviced, eg left room at 8.30am and by 4pm when one wanted to have a lie down, that is when they came to basically mop the floor, straighten the sheets. No proper cleaning of bathroom. Did not remove cups etc from room. Bedding very hard and basic. Beach towels long past their 'use by date' ie. Extremely thin and small. Language barrier was a huge problem. If you asked for a fork, coffee, something to be fixed in room one was mostly given a blank look or "no speak English" Had it not been for Osman Badem I think I would have gone mad. He was extremely helpful and when asked for something he would arrange it a.s.a.p. Hope the hotel realises what a gem they have in him. Katip that served around the pool was also always very cheerful and gave very good service. Hotel management must do something about guests reserving pool loungers at night/crack of dawn. By 7.30am every lounger was reserved with no one in sight which was very annoying. I personally would not stay there again. Also "all inclusive" when it came to the drinks was of the poorest quality. Ordered sex on the beach once and we could not drink it. Only drank wine mixed with lemonade. I suppose it is what you are used to, but on both my previous stays the drinks and cocktails were great. Admittedly they were both 5 Star hotels. Our room was near the kitchen and a road which was very noisy. The kitchen staff were extremely noisy early mornings and late at night, like at midnight!! No respect for guests trying to sleep. In general the kids found it okay, but would I recommend it to anyone my answer would have to be no. The reviews I saw before booking and my personal experience were world's apart.
