Very good for lazy or active holidays
Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A- Hotel
Hotel is perfect for the price you pay for it. All inclusive really includes everytihing ;)
LocationIt has very big and nice swiming pool with "lazy" river. Always enough spaces to lie. Also at the beach. One thing good for children but not for me was that water at the beach is not deep at all. You have to go out for 100 meters to come in deeper water. Only on one side of the beach the water is deep almost immediately but there boats go out/in.
ServiceVery very nice service. All personnel is nice and helpful. They all speak english and german most of them also russian. Free bus shuttle from hotel to center.
GastronomyQuite good choice of food and pretty tasteful. At breakfast I missed more fruit. It is not really for gurmets but you can find something for every taste. It is worth to take all inclusive (not only becosue of food and drinks, all inclusive includes also some sport activities). I found ther drinks just as good as originals. What was importnat for me was that you get all drinks in closed bottels/cans.
Sport & EntertainmentBig choice of all activities. During the day you have a lot of sport animation for free (volleyball, waterpolo, learning latino dance, aqua aerobica...) Big choice of water sports (diving, snorkling, skiing on water, differnet boats, surffing (if you have all inclusive you can have introduction hour of surrfing for free and you can rent some boats for free), parasailing, bananabots... They also have golf court. For 10 euros you get introduction cours of golf.
Room
You can also play tennis for free (all inclusive). Fitness is small but nice.
there are also 2 billiard tables (free use).
In the evening there is always some entertainment (dancing, singing...) Usually few per evening.
Also very nice for children.
Minuses:
All inclusive doesn't include wellness. Most saunas are seperated for men and women.
Sun chairs are very comfortable, towells for beach are big enough.Rooms are clean, air-conditioning is good, TV: biogger room - bigger TV. Programs in differnt languages. I like that they have movies in original voice. Beds are OK.
Tips and recommendations
You can hear quite a lot of noise form lobby (piano player) and entertainment form outside... but that depends where the room is located.I would defenetly recomend this hotel to everybody. I also suggest to discover a little bit out of the hotel. The prices in hotel and form agencies are quite high, but if you go out everything is very cheap. It is a sin not to take all inclusive ;)
Legend: 6 suns= excellent… 1 sun= very poor
