Brilliant food at buffet. Chef and concierge staff very attentive. Waiting and bar staff could have been more enthusiastic... felt a little like they didn’t want to be there! Brilliant pool and activities. A little playground or slide for the kids would be great, but then it was also nice that the Kids stuff was low key or there would have been more of them running around! Room was lovely, great view and the maids were very friendly and did an excellent job! Overall a brilliant stay and I would go back again!

Service was very good. Foods were better than average all inclusive. Facilities were good as renovated but little problems with maintenance. Shower handle adjusting temp and flow dropped and didn’t stay on place. Room lock tongue was not lubricated as got stuck many times so that room didn’t lock when closing door. Elevator inner door didn’t open many times when ordering to ground floor. Also was strange how only one hanger in bathroom so needed to put towels drying all over the room
