    Family Trip June 2025

    Hotel is Very clean and very compact. Not a small at all, but very compact. You don't have to walk long distance to the beach or buffet. Staff is excellent, very polite. Food is good but nothing special. 3 A la Carte restaurants. One is at the beach. Italian is at the quiet pool area outside of the main hotel. Very nice place to be honest. Food is far from being real Italian but tasty. Last one is the Octopus. It si located on the second floor, above the buffet area. In terms of food Octopus is in my opinion the best one. I had traditional goat meat. Very tasty. Drinks at the bars are fine, but if you want a good cocktail ask Ernesto. He makes very good ones. Pool is nice. Lot's of locals on weekends but it wasn't an issue for us. Not much to do for the kids to be honest. Entertainment is nice. Beach is good for the kids, but not much for adults. Especially if you love swimming. It is very shallow. Reefs kinda protecting the beach from waves but in the same time doesn't allow you to swim far. So, as I said, not for ppl who loves swimming. Good thing that mall is close by, about 5 min walking. You can find anything you like there, and prices are OK. Rooms are outdated but AC works fine. WiFi is in the main area and at every room. Speed is not the best and you may loose it for sometime, but better than no wifi at all. Overall we had good experience. Nothing special but if you want a peaceful vacations, and you are not very "picky" this will be the right place for you.
