Wir hatten ein tolles Zimmer mit Privatpool, waren aber auch an dem wunderschönen großen Pool mit den kostenfreien Cabanas. Das hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, man hat immer was gefunden. Abends kann man an der Poolbar chillen oder durch die quirlige Fußgängerzone/Strandpromenade laufen. Lediglich die Damen und Herren an der Rezeption waren etwas reserviert. Wir haben beim Betreten des Hotels oder auch während des Tages immer gegrüßt und es hat nie jemand zurückgegrüßt. Das gehört zu einem 5 Sterne Hotel dazu. Außerdem bieten andere Hotels dieser Kategorie jeden Tag mind. eine Flasche Wasser auf dem Zimmer. Wir hatten für 3 Personen eine und das auch nur am ersten Tag. Der bereitgestellte Raki am ersten Abend wurde direkt am nächsten Tag wieder abgeräumt, obwohl wir noch nicht mal davon probiert hatten. Das haben wir nicht verstanden. Aber ansonsten würden wir jederzeit wieder dieses Hotel buchen.

Neue und moderne Unterkunft. Personal ist teils sehr freundlich, teils könnte es zuvorkommender sein. Extra Kosten trotz all inclusive, zu laute Musik 24/7. Essen ist definitiv keine 5 Sterne. Insg. wenig Aktivitäten in dem Hotel.

We had an excellent stay in this hotel, which has been completely renovated. The staff is very welcoming and attentive. The food served is of good quality and varied, and they also have several vegan options at breakfast, lunch and dinner.
