One of the best hotels I’ve stayed in, so relaxing and it’s adults only so it’s mostly quiet. Myself and my partner were here for new year and I’m so glad we did.
We went all inclusive which we probably would t again as most of the time we were out and about exploring the island. The staff will help with hiring cars and excisions etc and it’s all easy to do as there’s a wee desk for it all.
Only thing wrong was we booked a room with a double bed so during the night our bed kept separating and one of us would often fall into it 😂
The views from the pool were amazing as it’s built on a hill so the views of the beach and other islands were amazing

I stayed for two weeks in mid-November with my boyfriend, and unfortunately, the experience did not live up to the expectations of a 4-star hotel with an all-inclusive formula.
Positive points
The room was really nice: a very comfortable bed, a spacious shower, and a balcony offering a pleasant view. The location is another strong point: very central, with many attractions nearby and convenient access to the seafront (although finding the elevator to reach it was complicated, as the directions at check-in were unclear). Additionally, the booking app was very useful, especially for reserving sun loungers by the pool.
Negative points
However, the positives stop there. The all-inclusive formula is extremely limited: many services and products, such as drinks, snacks, and anything after 11 PM, are charged extra, even though entertainment lasts until midnight and the bar closes at 1 AM. The drinks were terrible: a Bloody Mary was undrinkable, and gin and tonics were served with completely different amounts of gin, despite being brought to the same table, making the comparison inevitable. The selection of included drinks was minimal.
The room cleaning service was disappointing. In the first few days, the bed wasn’t even made (I mean the covers were not arranged, not the linen changed), which has never happened to us in a hotel of this level. We assumed that placing the card on the bed would indicate the need for tidying up. This led to receiving an unfriendly letter in our room, which seemed to accuse us of making an unreasonable request. In reality, we just wanted the bed to be made every day, a basic service expected in a hotel of this category. Moreover, the floor was consistently left with hair, and several times the replacement towels were dirtier than the ones they replaced, with visible stains.
The service in the restaurant was also disappointing: staff were extremely slow, and the dishes piled up on the table were never cleared away. The buffet was monotonous, with mediocre, bland food. Vegetables were often undercooked (and I’m not talking about salads, but dishes like eggplant), the breakfast pastries were uncooked, and the variety was particularly poor at lunch. Two weeks of meals here were exhausting.
The sun lounger area was dirty: tables with stains left for days, loungers with hair stuck to them, and the floor with coffee stains that were never cleaned. The ping-pong and billiard area was neglected as well: balls were often missing, and the bar glasses, which guests were asked to leave in designated spaces, accumulated for days without being removed, leaving the area messy and uninviting.
The entertainment was another weak point: repetitive activities and an eerily silent atmosphere during the day. In the evenings, the programs were poorly suited for younger guests, designed instead for a much older audience. This drives younger people to look for entertainment elsewhere, such as along the seafront. It’s a shame because a more diverse offering could have made the stay more enjoyable for everyone and increased bar sales.
Finally, no one bothered to ask for feedback during our stay or at check-out. This suggests that customer opinions are of no interest, which was evident in the overall experience.
Conclusion
This is not a 4-star hotel, nor a true all-inclusive. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend it.

A Beautiful, 4-star, adults only, hotel. We will definitely be returning.
The hotel was very clean and the staff are excellent.
The Food was really good with a nice variety of choices and a added bonus for me was the heated pool.

Just returned after my sixth visit to this wonderful hotel.
Always book Platinum All inclusive worth every penny.I book directly with the hotel so easy and I believe value for money.
You can tell how good it is when you see how fully booked it gets.
The food is really good but for me the staff make it so friendly and hard working.
Will be booking my seventh visit as soon as the November 25 dates become available.
Would not stay anywhere else.

We spent 1 week and had an amazing stay.
Rooms are great, food services are great, the hotel is amazingly clean and constantly being tidied which is great. Staff are all so friendly and ready to help with anything.
One single feedback, there are photographers at the hotel who offer to take guests photos which they can buy, lovely idea if it’s something you would like. We didn’t have an interest and politely said this first time we twere approached. Unfortunately we kept getting approached by the same man daily even after this. His attempts to joke and see if we changed our mind eventually became quite irritating and we just wanted to be left alone. I understand they likely work on the commission of sales but it really shouldn’t be at the constant pestering of guests who have clearly said they’re not interested. Ask once and leave at that so guests can just relax. Thai honestly was the single only thing. We had an amazing stay and will definitly return!
