The kids club was fabulous! The children loved the activities. The children's pools were shallow enough for them to play safely.

Good Facilities at a Good Location

massive poolgood pricejunior suitefriendly staff

The hotel offers a massive pool and enough loungers were available. I liked the lunch at the pool bar because prices were very good. The junior suite gave my family plenty of space. All staff members were friendly. breakfast included an extensive buffet.

I thought soundproofing was not very good. Noise from the next room could be heard. The hotel should consider putting felt pads under the chairs.

Dining

Breakfast included a buffet with fruit selection. A la carte Italian restaurant was available. Lunch at the pool bar offered very good prices and tasty food for all inclusive guests, and I liked it a lot.

Facilities

8/10

The spa included a steam room, sauna, and indoor pool. An indoor garage was available for 3 euros. The hotel had playgrounds. Pool towels required a visit to the spa office for collection and return so I had to visit the spa.
