We picked this hotel primarily as my husband and son wanted to play golf. The location couldn’t be more perfect as the golf course was only a stones throw away and so for those looking to stay and play it was an ideal location. We were on a half board package and the food at East (Buffett) had more than enough choices for everyone. A couple of evenings we ate at The Reunion restaurant which was really good. They have a half board menu from which you have several starter, main and dessert options, or you can choose from the main menu and pay a small supplement. The service was excellent across the whole hotel and nothing was too much trouble. The pools are delightful and there was lots of space and sun beds available. There are lifeguards on duty and they did an excellent job at keeping an eye out for anyone in difficulty. Our room was very large and had everything you could want. The only downside was that we overlooked a building site and so couldn’t use the balcony as it was so dusty and noisy. We woke up a couple of mornings with the vibration from them drilling. Would we stay here again, yes, but I would request a different room. Read less

Unfortunately we were disappointed with the service and quality of food. We’re not the first time at Sofitel hotels, so, this experience was one of the worst. Food wasn’t tasty, for example meat for dinner was hard even to slice with a knife and impossible to chew. There were always LINES during breakfast. So you come at 9 and start your food at 9.20 because of the line. It was the first hotel with the lines. Sunbeds at the beach and at the pool were always busy when we came, so, we had to put the towels on the sand. Finally we were bitten by some insects. Then drinks for dinner, you make the order and have to wait 20-30 minutes while they bring it and then 20-30 minutes (literally) while they check you up. Variety of food also is scarce. They even don’t have avocado for breakfast, no greens. There were often run out of the salads in the bowl and they change it really slow. All the girls in the restaurant (East) were totally unfriendly. Otherwise, all people in the reception were really helpful and smiley. And we like the facilities and cosmetics in our rooms. The hotel itself is new and beautiful. Read less
