This is not a 5 star resort and this review reflects that, as in some people compaining about certain aspects, but you get what you pay for basically. For what I paid for 2 weeks all-inclusive this hotel exceeded my expectations. Location Its located on the main tourist strip in Gumbet. Its not really my sort of place, but your close to loads of cheap bars and restaurants and plenty of cheap shops. The beach and bay its set in is actually very picturesque and I found it very pleasant to sit in the evening outside the restaurant watching the sun set over the water Room We had a family room which was basic but had everything we needed and was newly decorated. Our location couldnt have been better. We went straight out on to the Bubble Pool which was surrounded by palm trees and very quiet Food The buffet is pretty good, lots of choice. I'm vegan and even I could find plenty to eat. Though after about 7 days of the same choice for lunch and dinner I was going a bit nuts! We only managed to have the a la carte once at Carpe Diem, which was a nice change, you do have to pay extra for drinks though Drinks The choice of spirits is very limited. I would have paid to have better cocktails but that wasnt an option. It was very hit and miss with sometimes more than half of the drink alcohol, probably the first time in my life I've complained there was too much booze! In the end we just had Effes as the cocktails werent great Entertainment and facilities There is stuff happening at the main pool in the day, though we preferred to chill. The evening entertainment is standard stuff (Birdie song is still going strong after 25 years!); mini disco, belly dancing etc. The two guys singing Gypsy Kings were really good. I really enjoyed the staff Staff We found the staff all friendly and had good English, though some were obviously better trained than others. Our chambermaid was excellent and worked so hard to keep our room clean All in all a good place for what you pay. Its not top of my list to return to but if I want a cheap get away I'll be back and not have issues recommending to others

This was my 3rd visit to this hotel, and looking forward to my 4th. Staff so friendly and was well looked after, it’s amazing how many people you meet who you’ve met there before, plenty of entertainment on an evening to keep you occupied or the ladybird bar if you want a more chilled evening. Room was very comfy and clean, and felt comfortable leaving valuables out and not requiring a safe. Extremely good hotel and the staff can’t do enough for you, and would recommend this hotel if your visiting Gümbet. 10/10 in every aspect.

Awful hotel, awful food,pools dirty, broken sunbeds and no way a 4 star rating. I did write a longer more detailed review but it seems to have disappeared. Only hotel i have ever been to where you have to queue at 5pm for ice cream as its the only time its served. Third time in Gumbet, first time at this hotel, will never return
