The hotel was busy but because of the number of pools available, it never felt overwhelming. Breakfast was good. The room was clean and all staff were friendly and helpful. There are good restaurants nearby and the beach is just a few minutes walk.

Would be a great family location

This resort would be absolutely ideal for families with young children. The number of pools and access from the water access apartments is ideal. The rooms are just starting to show their age a little and some areas could benefit from a deep clean and recondition, but overall this place was great and the staff were brilliant.

Great hotel

This is a lovely hotel with pools everywhere! It's definitely worth paying extra to get a room on ground level with direct pool access.We were there in off season and they were reasonable value, they look pretty expensive in high season though. Unfortunately the main pool was empty when we were there as they were renovating the pool and surrounding area which ruined the experience somewhat. We would ould given 5 stars if the pool was full of water 😀 The staff were very friendly, we appreciated an early check in, and the included breakfast was reasonable. There are loads of restaurants, bars, and massage places within 5 mins walk.

4th visit and we'll be back

This was our 4th visit to the waters and god willing we will be going back. We can't fault anything. Its not beach front but only a short walk and with the amount of pool area it no problem. The location is great due to the amout of small restaurants and bars nearby. We always feel a bit guilty for not making use of the hotel dining room in the evenings but we like to eat out in the previously mentioned local places.

Our room 212 looked out to a wall & a yard where staff collected their supplies for the day. We were only stopping for 1 week, so wasn’t too bothered. Beach was 10 minutes away and no facilities, which was a bit disappointing. Staff were outstanding, friendly and very helpful.

Overall is fine, just only the staff should have more service mind. During our stay we did not see the staff greeting the guest both reception and restaurant. We found a cockroach in the room and informed to the reception but no any action or excuses. Quite disappointed for this hotel group.
