3 star apartments. The swim up room was clean but looked out onto a concrete wall. There are cockroaches, watch out! Food was good and receptionists very pleasant and efficient. A steep walk down to the beach & town; they lay on a coach I think 3 times daily- or we had a car which was great. Free parking out the front. Evenings are loud and focused around bingo, footy on TV and karaoke, we escaped into town to a nice beach club and watched the sunset- infinitely preferable but of course no all inclusive drink! It was worth it. But to each, his own.

After reading a mix of reviews and it being the first time travelling with 3 young children, to say I was nervous was an understatement. We didn't encounter any issues at all during our stay. We had a 2 bedroom swim up room, with garden view (number 46), the apartment was lovely, had everything we needed, nice and modern, the only thing we slightly missed was air con (it was available to rent but we decided against it), there were fans in each of the room so we kept them on and kept it just about cool enough for us. Amazing staff at the hotel, everyone friendly, especially Prasanna, he was absolutely amazing with the children, finding things for them to do and involving them. Maids were fantastic and cleaned most days. Food was great, it was samey at times but lots of choice and we never had anything that didn't taste good. The waiters/waitresses were brilliant with cleaning up finished plates and drinks. Self serving drinks (beer and soft drinks) was brilliant. Slush puppy also a great bonus. Although there was only 3 cocktails on all inclusive (2 alcoholic, 1 mocktail) they were all very good. Never had a problem with seating. We only used the main pool once during our stay due to having the swim up pool, no issues to getting sun beds. We enjoyed a few evenings entertainment however it was very late for the children (started at half 9) so we couldn't do every night. The only thing missing was there wasn't loads of entertainment for children, however there wasn't many children there so could possibly be why. The location is absolutely stunning, very scenic, however being surrounded by hills/mountains made it difficult for travel with the 3 young children, this didn't matter too much though as we had the swim up rooms where we spent most of our time. Having a shop onsite was ideal. The swim up pool has got to be one of the best things about the stay. We spent most of our time in the pool or around it. The pool was cold, but once you had got in it didn't feel too bad. The terraces were quite shaded which was ideal for us with the children, the other side of the pool was a terrace in the sun with more sunbeds and umbrellas. We really did have the best time and would love to return.

Sharing my experience after almost a week in a all inclusive room with my family. Everything in this hotel could be better, but still not too bad for the price. Of course we knew that it wouldn't be a perfect experience so we've got what we paid for, be ready for some cons and pros.
- Food has a huge variety with something different everyday, but not all food is cooked well to be tasty. Also bar is a bit limited for all included guests.
- Apartments are fine for a budget stay, but nothing more. Specially is a bad idea to rent only two rooms for more persons. There even was a toaster in the kitchen, but the room fuses were blown everytime we turn it on.
- Cleaning was a bit weird. It was said to be cleaned once in a three days, but has actually been done quite chaotically without amy shedule. Also in a whole week they didn't change any bed sheets at all.
- Be ready for some insects as well like ants and several cockroaches (outside the room). Still theys amount is quite small to be a problem.
- Service was 50/50. Maybe after living in Finland I expected too much, but it wasn't always friendly and sometimes even rude. Still some staff was really nice (special credits to a girl named Carla for her service).
- It is nice when apartments are so close to the pool, but the real problem is how noisy it is in the room. Folk is always partying with music at least until 23:00 with some activities during the day as well.
- And the last one but not least is the aesthetical part of the stay. Exterior of the hotel looks really nice with awesome views from the hill. Hotel also provides a free bus to the beach, but the half an hour walk to it is also nice.
P.S. have seen three cats and even petted one

We had a swim up room which was lovely and relaxing away from the main pool. There is no aircon but was cool enough not to hire. The location itself is well kept and scenic. Limited all inclusive cocktails. Food is average and often repetitive. Staff work very hard and should be commended. Were often inconsistent in drinks we had to pay for
