    Food and drink of moderate quality, the indoor pool was simple, spa for extra money 😡,the masaj staff poorly qualified and expensive, a-la-carte restaurant of poor quality, No parking 😢

    The location was great, wonderful staff, very clean and comfortable, smooth check-in and check-out, and also day and night food and drink.

    Althought the hotel was full of romanian people, they did not play romanian music to the kids party. The parking was a little too expensive. The hotel did not provided slippers and bathrobes, we had to ask for them at the reception.

    Good food, excellent staff and services. Daily cleanup, special gala dinner (once every 10 days).

    We stayed on the 6th floor & there were few families on the same floor. It was a bit noisy sometimes, especially in the mornings. I didn't like the local dogs that came by the outdoor pool side although they were friendly with guests. One of the mornings, I was woken up by the noise from cleaners on the corridor outside our room at 6am - not pleasant!

    Very spacious room (Junior suite shared with my sister & mum - 3 adults) with a lot of storage space. The fridge in the room was replenished each morning with soft drinks, beer & water without any charges. We loved how close the beach was to the hotel, less than 30sec walk from the hotel. Lots of food options for breakfast/lunch/dinner. There's also a snack bar where you can get pasta, burgers etc if you feel hungry before dinner. Loved the ice cream bar & mini café by the outdoor pool - we paid for all inclusive so we didn't have to pay extra to enjoy these. Different entertainment options throughout the day e.g. table tennis, darts etc. Live show every night at 9pm was a hit & it was different every night! We used the spa facilities - loved it! We paid 20BNG per person to use the sauna & steam room for 1 hour. We each had different massages done for a fee, very relaxing. I paid 69BNG for my foot massage -30mins, Classic massage 30mins 79BNG/50mins 119BNG. The wellness centre has many more services facial, salon, pedicure etc - charges applies. The indoor pool is free to use, not very big & closes 6pm each day but we used it and it was fine. I wished they had a jacuzzi- it would have been 5*! Overall it was a pleasant 5 days!

    There is a bar, but it works only untill 22:45, and after that tou have to move to the lobby if you want to have a drink. There is no entertainment- no billiards, no music, no games for the adults. The pillows on the terraces were all covered up by bird poop

    The hotel is really nice and it looks amazing. The rooms are big, the indoor pool is fine, the food was great. I was impressed that there was baby food ( milk) in the reataurant. Most of the staff were very kind.

    The evening entertainment could have been a little better. The bar would have been nicer with a little more music.

    Staff were helpful and kind .always with a smile. Room was spacious and cleaned daily. Pool was lovely but freezing, good swimming! The facilities provided on leaving day, after returning our key was exceptional.

    Our room was at the ground floor, close to the Saloon Bar, and we could easily hear the music that was playing during the night.

    Location few meters away to the sea, indoor heated swimming pool, beautiful furniture (mostly Wood and metal), good wi-if signal, very friendly staff.

    If i had one niggle. Then maybe the towels were a bit rough 😂 couldn’t find another fault

    Amazing 4 star hotel. Unsure why it isn’t a 5 star. Nothing was too much trouble.

    Our air con didn’t work in room 442 as it made a loud mechanical noise when off. We had to have it disconnected. Some staff - we went for dinner late in the restaurant around 8.45/9pm twice and it was a completely different experience, obviously management were no longer around and the host team particularly were not great; messing around/on phones/not greeting guests/chatting/ not helping and being too loud - less professional than during breakfast/lunch or earlier in dinner service. The restaurant - it’s too casual as a canteen to ask for long trousers, to ask that there needs to be ambience. I would suggest music is aligned, some nights we had heavy rock, techno and jazz within 10 minutes (do the staff have control of play lists? It’s not relaxing) and also turn down the lighting in places (outside) Wine was terrible - need a better selection on offer, to buy if needed as it meant there was no alcoholic option for dinner. Only other - further up the beach in the white umbrella griffid area, beach staff said the loungers were only for that particular griffid hotel…whereas in the area outside our hotel was mixed with griffid guests so full. Need to make clear if it’s all areas or one and if it’s all, communicate to those hotels. Better towel service needed and please turn off the loud music by the pool :) Lifeguards - no-one paying attention

    Lovely hotel overall and some staff were brilliant (front desk reception, kitchen staff, cleaning, some waiting staff) all inclusive was a logical option as there were no/limited good restaurants nearby. Food choice was generally great. Modern, very very clean Little cake place was lovely. We didn’t have issues with sun beds as others mention. Pool was spotless
