solid stay

amazing food helpful staff

the staff are helpful and nothing is too much trouble. a la carte restaurants food was amazing and it was nice to have a wine list. our favorite place was the champagne bar and we liked sitting outside. kostas the waiter in the champagne bar was the best. he looked after us every night.

the gym equipment was not good. the weights was old and some machines didn't work. i think they should renovate the gym to be better and offer more things. this should be a priority.

Wonderful stay at the resort

friendly staff excellent food inclusive package

The resort was clean and spacious. The staff seemed super friendly. The food options were excellent and one of the best I have experienced at an all inclusive hotel. The staff members were great, doing everything possible for all guests. Everything really was all inclusive, no hidden costs.

The organization of the reservations for theme restaurants was really difficult! It seemed you needed to book far in advance to secure a spot.
