Greeted with a warm welcome on arrival at reception, and all of the hotel facilities explained together with information bookets, room and safe key. I was allocated a room in Block E which was furthest away from the Reception and main facilities, and having requested a room closer on my booking request I asked again whether this was possible. No... More

Huge complex set out in lovely landscaped gardens with a massive central pool. Stayed here for 1week in May and this is a very good 3star hotel. Pool area is huge with hundreds of sunbeds and parasols all around so never had a problem getting one. Good mix of guests of all ages and nationalities and atmosphere was very friendly.... More

We were situated in tower D. 7th floor. Nice room, first impression you are looking straight into tower opposite, but after a while you get used to it and it isn't a problem. Couldnt fault the staff at the hotel, the reception and restaurant staff are fantastic, and nothing is too much trouble. The rooms although pretty basic are cleaned... More

Massive hotel set out in blocks, it was fully booked when we went. Didn't have much to do with the staff really, but nothing bad sticks out in my mind! Hotel was clean and tidy, although the check out shower room was a bit minty and very wet! Room was great apart from no air conditioning. NEVER AGAIN! Terrible sleep... More
