Great pool and beach average room

Great pool and on a nice beach. Hotel lobby great Rooms average. Patio for room had gaps which let people smoke drift in while you were sunbathing which really spoilt relaxing by the pool. Rooms are now well sound proofed either

Very peaceful.

Hotel was secluded away centers of activity, restaurants, shops etc. That suited us. Booked private pool area which was great. Some entertainment at night - good. Staff provided some classes during the day such as Olive tasting, really good. Some light exercise classes during the day. Variety of food - excellent. All staff very helpful and friendly. Used hotel taxi a few times. Same man very helpful & loads of local information.

Fin anläggning att träna på. Dock ställdes nästan alla pass in då hotellet invaderades av 120 seniorer som blockade det mesta, inklusive tennisbanorna med egna tränare. När vi anlände dagen innan gjorde receptionen reklam för alla pass som man kunde gå på men så blev det inte. Främmande hundar på anläggningen som inte togs på alvar av personalen vilket gjorde att min hundrädda fru hade svårt att gå ut. Totalt sett en fin anläggning med en fantastisk hovmästare!!

The fitness facilities are good. Staff at the reception is helpful and knowledgeable. Service at the restaurant is ok on average: not 5 star service, but would be decent for a 3 star hotel (so not bad either). All rooms seem to have a decent view, so there’s no risk in booking any type of a room.

The weather turned so we didn’t get to take advantage of the beach and pool. Things looked nice but a bit of a sterile vibe about the place. The staff were not so accommodating about dining in the restaurant and we were finally seated and ignored for almost an hour before a waitress acknowledged us. She was friendly and saved the day. The power went out when we tried to check out and the front desk were not helpful or trying to come up with a solution but instead insisted on cash with no apology It just left a sour taste. If you are in to organized scheduling with activities sports and fitness it likely would suit your taste. Rooms were very clean and nice though and beds comfortable.

Overall nice

The staff was very friendly and helpful, our stay was very nice. The only negative comment would be regarding the mop trolleys waking us up each morning. As the corridor floors are covered with tiles, the cleaning ladies were making some noise when wheeling the mop buckets. The place was kept very clean though.

Mkt bra familje hotell, med bra pooler

Vi hade ett familjerum med pool ihop med Grannen. Rummet var mycket fint, men kanske inte topp finish. Lite långt att gå till den stora gemensamma poolen och baren, vilket när man har all- inclusive är en nackdel... Stranden var av klappersten, vilket är skönt om man vill slippa all sand. Bufferestaurangen får toppbetyg, mycket varierande rätter trots en veckas vistelse. Jag rekommenderar Cavo Spada till de som vill ha bra pooler, nära till strand, bra buffé restaurang och bra service. Vill man dessutom röra på sig under vistelsen finns det flera mkt bra aktiviteter som drivs av Apollo.
