I have been to this hotel twice and will return this year as my family have fallen in love with it.

The hotel is lovely, very clean and the rooms are very spacious, the junior suite are ideal for a family of 4, they are cleaned every day to a very high standard.

We were on an all inclusive package and the food was fantastic. I think even the fussiest of eaters would not complain.

The resturant is a buffet style and self service. Breakfast for instance has fruit , yoghurt, cereal, bread, cooked food, cold meats, eggs, buscuits and cakes.

Lunch and dinner are similar but a bit more at dinner, there are salads, soups, different fish, different meats, potatoes, fries, lots of different pasta and sauces, rice, a cold buffett with a variety a choice of a meal like paella or lasange for eg, cheese, biscults, pate and lots of deserts and icecreams. There was also alot for vegerians.

You can order snacks by the pool all day and these snacks are very good, sometimes we woudl eat by the pool if we missed breakfast or lunch, my children loved the pizza and pasta.

The staff of all areas of the hotel are very friendly and helpful.

There are 3 swimming pools, a spa, a sauna, a gym, tennis courts, squash, games room and lots of room for sun bathing.

The pools are very clean, and suitable for children as well as adults, the sunbeds are put around the pools and towels are given out daily.

The views are fantastic, lovely mountains and watching the sun set is breathtaking.

The area where the hotel is situated is very quiet, if you want to look at the shops it is a 10 minute walk.

The is a bus service by the hotel that will take you to and from the beach or to the market .

There is a mini club for children and my children would spend time here, they really loved it and the staff are so friendly.

There is also lots of daytiime entertainment for the grown ups, lots of games and sports, the entertainment team are very fun to be with and are a good laugh.

In the evening there is also more entertainment, there is a disco for the children followed by a game, the children really enjoy this and the parents can also join in. We got some great photos to remember here.

This is followed by a show such as a live band or act or a show from the entertainment team, these evenings were all very enjoyable.

As far as my family are concerned this is the place to go and we look forward to our third year in a row there.

I would recommend this hotel to couples or familes.

The hotel has a very friendly atmosphere and we have always found other guests very pleasant.
