Location
The whole hotel, public areas, rooms were spotless.
The bathroom has a beautiful corner shower which felt like a power shower and a fitted vanity unit and loo. All pristine. The bedroom had 2 single beds and a chair made into a bed for our daughter, no complaints.Plenty of cupboard and drawer space, fridge and TV,free air conditioning and safe, (this was

The rooms were maintained to a high standard of decoration and were maticuliously maintained by the maid.
The entertainment was not excellent but went on from about half nine to way beyond midnight.

Entertainment staff did their best, very friendly and good fun, although the shows except Michael Jackson were not the best but watchable. Dead chicken being dismembered..very odd...
The wine wasn't nice though, the 'red wine' isn't red wine is kind of a cross between red and rose (and pretty awful as well) and after a few days of it I couldn't touch it, white wasn't much better either. Beer was good though - Tuborg and the local spirits were good. The red wine thing did spoil the holiday a bit for me as I like a nice glass of red wine with my meal.
The hotel is in a suberb location right on the beach watching the paragliders is very relaxing.
All in all a great hotel which I would definately recommend.

Sometimes it looked like they were going to land on the restaurant roof! We were given a ground floor room in the annexe block.
This was modern, very clean and a reasonable size. Plenty of space for clothes and luggage. Big bathroom with full bath and shower over, with full enclosure. Word of warning for anyone vertically challenged - the bath is quite high and at 5ft 4ins I could only just get my leg over to climb out!
Bed decorated with fresh flowers twice; a lovely touch. Main pool area very nice with pool bar and shaded seating area.
Non-slip surface around the pool is a great idea. Never really had a problem with getting a sunbed; had to use the garden area one day, but this was no hardship and the waiters still came round offering drinks and the entertainment team didn't leave us out either.
Restaurant - excellent choice of meals at all sittings. It would take someone really fussy to not find something they liked. Not a sweet eater myself, but OH enjoyed his. So many characters at this hotel; you might expect it from the entertainment team, but even some of the restaurant staff like 'Omelette Man' were entertaining in their own right. We ate an indian meal off the set menu in the A La Carte restaurant for an extra

I did not speak to a single person who would not return. Like many others I do not like returning to the same place,however I am seriously considering it.
I did not watch all the entertainment but what I did see was very good. The Michael Jackson show was extremely good,the young man who played Michael was sensational.

This is a very well run hotel with happy staff that makes for very happy quests. Everything spotless. Fab food with plenty of choice plus a cooking station that offers a different theme every night from curry night, chinese, sunday roast. bread and turkish pizza baked in front of you . fresh omelettes and eggs in the morning. plenty of staff in the resturant that take away dirty plates as soon as you have finished and keep you well supplied with drinks for as long as you want . no queing for drinks . you are served at your table and around the pool where the staff constantly ask you if you would like drinks or water. Snack bar is great too. again you sit down with a menu and they serve you with your food and drinks. ice cream between 3-4 and cakes at 5. I am at least a half a stone heavier.
only negative is the sunbed race in the morning but we were there at the height of season so it was expected.you cannot reserve beds before 8am and various entrances are taped until then. everyone is queing from around 7.30 and at 8am when you get the wink everyone runs and charges and I mean run. Its like the january sales .within 30 seconds all beds are gone.you have to literally throw your towels on the beds while running. absolutely hilarious , I couldnt stop laughing. On the first morning I was waiting at 7am but wasnt expecting the big scrum and still only managed to get beds in the shade. The next morning I knew better and got quite good at it during our 2 weeks.
Animation team wonderful, plenty going on during the day. then in the evening you have a show followed by either a quieter night at the pool bar or the lively plaza bar where there is dancing every night + some nights belly dancing, karoke etc and again drinks served where you are sitting if you want. The animation team were always there until late dancing as well and there was a great atmosphere. Our teenagers had a great time there until 2am every night . A/I at the plaza bar stops at midnight though.
this is one hotel that for us is going to be hard to beat and we would definately return.

You had a big choice of food and I am a very fussy eater but found something I liked everyday, if you wanted you could eat all day as they had food provided until midnight. I could not fault the food at all and if you have a sweet tooth your definitely like this place.
Just a pre warning on the alcoholic dinks, it is only included if you have the local drinks, you will see they have bottles of English brands but you have to pay a small charge as they import it in.
Hotel staff were brilliant and couldn't do enough for you and were very entertaining through out the day and evening, we didn't watch all shows at night but the one we did see did made us laugh but some of the comments are very tongue in cheek!

The waiters and bar staff were all very attentive, making sure we had everything we needed, generally getting a decent seat in the restaurant. It was my husbands birthday whilst we there and I organised a cake and champagne (it cost about
