  Nice hotel. All inc needs improving

  Nice hotel. Clean and staff were lovely. Unfortunately we will never go for all inclusive again we don't usually go all inc but went with family so was just easier. The food was basic and very repetitive. We didn't have one meal in a week we thought was great. The drinks we're very limited. The carbonated soft drinks were all flat. The pools were brilliant and the activities all day were varied. The entertainment was quite basic and repetitive. The best entertainment was one of the housekeepers making an appearance when a certain song was played. There were cats which we loved but they were clearly not cared for. No fresh water unless guests provided it please look after the welfare of your cats if your going to keep them at the hotel. Our room was perfect. Due to my husband not being able to walk far we were given a disabled room near the main pool and restaurants. The room was clean and very spacious. The entertainment staff during the day were lots of fun. The hotel isn't far from the airport so good location.

  Family holiday with teens

  8 night stay at this all inclusive hotel. We usually go to playa blanca but wanted to try here as nearer the airport and heard better for older children. We weren’t disappointed. Our teens loved it. They loved the entertainment team. They were fabulous. Our rooms were very clean and comfortable. House keeping was exceptional. The food was fresh and lots to choose from. I loved the fish option every day with salads, especially the tuna steaks. It did get busy at peak times but always got a table ok. I did think food could be labelled better as sometimes it was guess work. The drinks were ok. I didn’t like the wines but the spirits were good. Staff here are 5 stars. Genuinely friendly and happy and always say hello to you. Pools were so clear and clean with lifeguards keeping check. Had a massage which was included in our package. Loved it. The gym was a bit disappointing as small and tired. Couldn’t do my usual training but I could run/walk along the amazing shore line. Plus the hotel is so big I hit my steps goal with ease. We felt safe here and saw no trouble at all. A lovely family vibe so would definitely return. The cats were no bother and were rather cute. I saw no mess anywhere. All in all a very relaxing holiday. Thank you.

  Fantastic holiday

  Have just come back from A 8 night holiday here we could have happily stayed another couple of days. Everywhere was spotlessly clean rooms were very nice had a hairdryer, shower gel, shampoo. We took our own beach towels but you can do without them as they give you them and you can change them as many times as you like. Food was always good lots to choose from does get repetitive but all inclusive. Always does so we ate out a couple of evenings in Peurto de calman which is a nice walk. We also had a walk to watch the planes go over us which Took 40 mins if you turn left out of hotel. The hotel is in a perfect location. Went in the sea and done snorkelling which is just over the road. Staff are all very friendly and the reception staff are very accommodating and helpful. We played kaboot in the evening then sat outside or in the bar in the evening as did not fancy being cooped up in the theatre. Would thoroughly Recommend here for your holiday. Drinks were ok not much of a range of cocktails and no spritz and only one choice of Beer but we did manage to find something to drink. Entertainment staff are fantastic and looked very good With the young children. Cats were around but people Leave food and drink lying around so they come to get that.

  Great Holiday - recommend to all!

  Staff were amazing and very attentive - every single member of staff would say hello and interact with you. The entertainment team were fantastic - 100% energy all day every day. There is a wide range of food - something for everyone (coming from a fussy eater). The food is replenished regularly and always hot. The Asian restaurant was lovely. Drink options were great and cocktails were lovely, there are only a handful of cocktails to choose from, however, there are a lot of other drinks to choose from. Everywhere in the hotel was clean. The theatre had AC and lots of seats - the shows were amazing, from Kahoot quizzes to dance shows. The day time entertainment is great - we went as 2 adults and there is something for everyone. The rooms were clean and comfy, we stayed in the building away from the entertainment and couldn't hear anything. The location is great, right on the beach and only 10/15 minutes from Puerto Del Carmen - the bus stop is right outside and super cheap! The only negative I have to say is there are many sun lounger reserver's from early hours, but you can always find somewhere to relax.

  Would return

  We have just returned from a week there as a family of five. The location is really good and only 15 minutes transfer from the airport. The hotel was clean, rooms were reasonably modern and the food was nice and varied. It worked for 1 week but may be repetitive for a two week stay. There is air conditioning in the bedrooms but the inside bar areas didn’t have it and it could get hot. The pools are good and clean, lots of sun loungers and no issues ever getting any. There were no smokers on the loungers around the pool either which we have found at some other hotels in the past. Good range of soft drinks, Amstel beer on tap and Cruz campo Lemon, they also offer 0% Amstel bottles. Cocktails were average from a machine and the spirit choice was limited. Disappointing as not cheap to stay there. No water in the rooms but the bar by reception will give you large bottles when you want them. They also make decent coffees and the reception bar is 24 hour. The gym could do with some investment, 1 cable machine and some dumbbells up to 10kg but mostly cardio machines. There is a shop at the hotel with prices similar to those nearby. As you exit the rear of the hotel, 15 minutes walk and you are on the Puerto Del Carmen strip with lots of bars and restaurants. They offer a good choice, the area is clean and the views are nice. We weren’t harassed to buy things or go into venues and everyone appeared welcoming. The only issue we had was with taxi drivers, wanting more tips, taking longer routes unnecessarily and generally coming across rude and as though they were doing you a favour. These were taxis that hotel reception had booked for us as well. There are a lot of buses which are cheaper so we switched to them with no issues. 5 minutes walk and you are on the beach, although Puerto del Carmen was lively, we didn’t experience any drunk idiots, there were very little police around and the area had lots of families. Would definitely return.
