"Absolutely perfect!"
We have just returned from a 7 night holiday and have not stayed here before. The site is nicely spread out, food choice was great and plentiful with lots of hand sanitiser points including staff standing at the restaurant doors with a bittle in hand. Sadly lots of people ignored these. The cleaning and gardening staff are wonderful and work so hard to maintain a spotless environment. The entertainment team are amazing for all age groups. This hotel offers so much to ensure your holiday experience is amazing.
"Lovely hotel"
To start with the hotel is lovely. The rooms are big and serviced daily with a fridge/mini bar in the room However the complex is huge. If you have mobility issues it could cause you real problems, especially in the heat The serving staff are lovely but there are flies all over the food and sparrows pinching food from plates if you eat outside The hotel is a 20 minutes (ish) walk from Santa Marie - however in the heat it is advisable to take a taxi (booked for reception) for 5 euros Overall we had a good staff but the heat crippled us - not the hotels fault but please be aware when booking
