We stayed in 2021 during covid and were impressed so decided to return again this year. The service was fantastic plus we liked some of the new features such as the late afternoon beach DJ and drinks which had an Ibiza feel although the music level could be turned down a bit at times so you could enjoy a conversation together. ( small issue ). We also noted the change to the 6th floor which now the Orient - Turkish restaurant rather than the previous use as a bar - great addition and superb food and service. Overall a very relaxing 7 night stay - the location on the beach is great and the service top class for an all inclusive hotel. Staff - the drinks waiter son the beach have a challenging role to cater for so many guests but do a great job, so big call out to Kingsley & Gabriel. We also were very impressed with Shaira in the People’s restaurant at lunchtime - very attentive service . Thankyou. Suggestion - it would be great to have a more chilled outside bar in the evening - the seating area and bar in the courtyard with the entertainment can get very loud with the bands - always wondered why the area above the people’s restaurant couldn’t be put to use for something like this ?? Overall all though we will be back - great hotel and team ! Read less

There are quiet areas for adults only like the spa which was superb. Read less
