A tale of two Halves.Very tired corridors and rooms. In some parts there was a weird smell as well.However, the main facility hub was fantastic for the kids. A very generous swimming area and a fantastic games area. With ten pin bowling and a soft play. With multiple arcades, pool and snooker tables. There's also an outdoor pool for those who are brave enough.Various bars with decent food and service. The evening entertainment area was also enjoyable.Would me and the wife return on our own for a romantic weekend away? We wouldn'tWould we return with the kids? 100%Plenty to occupy the youngsters, close to the main beach. Considering the hotels had their fair share of older guests, it's definitely a place for families to enjoy as well.

Unfortunately my experience of this hotel was very disappointing. Upon my arrival I opened the wardrobe to a very unpleasant smell and then discovered in the safe after I opened it that there was stale mozzarella cheese, I do not understand …
