Definately not a 4 star hotel .staff really rude,entertainment appalling ,food bland and same everyday .Drinks watered down lager and cocktails from tap .1 iron in the whole of the hotel and no ironing board .Had to ask at reception for maids to change sheets after we had been there 8 days .Maids made beds and changed towels nothing else we ended up cleaning the room ourselves .One day they didn’t clean room so told reception and asked for clean towels the maid brought them to room walked in with out knocking .The al a carte restaurant well what can I say it was was than the the all inclusive food plus you had to pay for the drinks .Whilst sunbathing around the pool we seen a man taking pictures.The next day me and my partner were on there instagram page full view of my partners face and me laid on my belly that should never of happened without our consent .The list is endless but I will stop here .We paid £4000 for this holiday and spent a fortune going out for meals and drinks so if your thinking of staying here I would think again

Good hotel
Great location especially for the strip with a added bonus of a free shuttle bus to the old town . Rooms are clean ,food is good, also no problems getting a sunbed . Would definitely return and recommend
Just the two of us
Can I just say we had a really great 10 days at your hotel. Everything we hoped for. Clean rooms good food. Must give Thomaz the barman a very polite nice man. And Sergio in the restaurant nothing to much trouble for him.All staff was very attentive. Just one gripe found entertainment very mundane

Bad hotel
Where do I start. Food cold and same everyday breakfast no omelette station and al a carte restaurant appalling. Maids only changed towels and made bed and did not clean room. Entertainment annoying and loud around pool and non existent on evening. Drinks watery and cocktails not made properly only from tap. Only one iron for whole hotel and no ironing board. As a result we had to buy an iron and ironing board for our stay. Complained about a post they put on social media clearly showing our identity around the pool which is against the law for privacy. Booked a double room but when we got there it was two single beds which were like bell metal.This is barely a 3 star hotel don’t be fooled with other good reviews as pics of hotel isn’t what it says on tin. Overall worst hotel I’ve stopped in. Also staff attitudes are shocking when getting served at bar

2* and I’d recommend staying elsewhere
This hotel has some good but also bad quality’s, although it is not 4 star worthy. Bad quality:
- The room we got was covered in ants. They were both inside and outside. They were everywhere. We asked reception for help and they sent one guy with a sweeping, which obviously didn’t help.
- The air con wasn’t working. Instead of moving us to another room we had maintenance in our room for 2 days. The air con was also so bad that our sofa, rug and suitcase got absolutely soaked.
I’ve mentioned both issues to the hotel and they don’t even respond. I think the money they charge there is far nicer hotels out there. 4. It says it’s a family friendly hotel but there is no slides around the pool or any sort of water things. The kids cabin is nothing like the photos and you can’t actually use it without the workers. The swings could also do with an update
Good:
- Food was good and selection was decent
- Outdoor poor was massive and 2 smaller pots for the kids was good
- Mexican restaurant just outside the hotel which has nice food
Honestly I expected more and was disappointed especially when the staff could have easily fixed this with a room change. Don’t waste your money here.
