Arrived to this hotel on saturday quite worried after all the reviews I have read lately however we cannot find fault with this hotel. Check in was very quick. Rooms are spotless and cleaners always around. Food has been brilliant with lots of choice. In regards to the ants have seen very few of these. If like us you were worried about this hotel after reading reviews dont be. You will have a brilliant holiday 🌞

As a family of four including two teenagers 14 and 17, we stayed here for two weeks at the end of August. Rooms were lovely, clean and spacious. Beds were comfortable. we had a fridge and kettle in the room. Shower was powerful. Cleaner gives an option for the time they will come which was great for lazy teens. The dining area was clean, tables cleared quickly and staff were friendly. Breakfast was the best meal of the day with everything you could imagine available. Always a lot of choice and an area just for kids. We never went hungry. Snack bar open until 11:00pm, cake and sandwiches available 24 hours a day. Soft drinks, hot drinks, beer, wine, lager and sangria were self serve all day until 11:30. The bar served generous servings of local spirits with some branded spirits also used. Cocktails available but had very little alcohol in. One female member of staff always gave preferential treatment to other Spaniards adding extra alcohol into their cocktails, only rude member of staff I came across. The entertainment team work hard and there was always something going on to suit everyone. Foam party’s were great fun. Lots of small pools for little ones and a quiet pool at the front of the hotel. Always sun beds available. Local area is lovely with the sand dunes being a five minute walk away. Lots of bars and restaurants nearby. Local bus service is great.Loved the mix of nationalities at the hotel. The only negatives for this hotel would be the pool and pool area could be cleaner, they only move the sun beds every other day to clean around them and the pool often had leaves, dust, bugs and hair in it. None of us became ill from it though. Check in could have been quicker and directions to the room better. We had to pay 15 euros each to continue to be able to use the pool area, snack bar and restaurant due to having a late flight and these services ending at 12:00, despite explaining we didn’t arrive until midnight on our first day and others who arrived at lunchtime therefore had a day extra. You can use the bar upstairs and have sandwiches without paying but as we weren’t being picked up until 7pm the kids would have been bored so felt pressured into paying. You can pay for hotel pool towels but there is a charge every time you want to change them. Overall we had a fantastic holiday and I recommend this hotel

This hotel is over priced...They don't let no one visit, if it's not guest of the hotel. I have a friend live here,who couldn't step even in and they said if he doesn't have bracelet go out. Very rough, rude staff at the door and at the reception. Very loud around the pool. Too many family members drunk and loud. The worst place to be. A person can't entre even for one minute in your room, even if possible to let document, they don't let no one in. Rediculious.
