Just returned from a weeks hols in October 2025, just my and son and a
I.
Hotels remote, but beautiful. In fairness it was better than good, very good even, just not quite 5 stars.
Not many brits here, good or bad make your own mind up. But I would recommend learning sone spanish. Its definitely alpreciated.
Buffet food was good, plenty to choose.
And plenty of booze too.
Would defo recommend to families, couples and anyone else for that matter.
To the staff thank you for working hard.
And to the 2 pensioners scrapping in the bingo hall. Naughty boys!!

Pros:Beautiful location, spacious rooms and amazing swimming pools (infinity and lazy river). Hotel offers stunning bay views even in 'partial sea view' rooms. All places clean with exotic plants and tropical plants, excellent and very well maintain.Spa facilities very pleasant with nice and welcoming staff. Overall gardens, cliff top location and swimming pools made our stay worth-while.
Cons:Food very average, repetitive and tasteless, some seafood, pastas, occassional international dishes - choice limited overall - much below any 4 star hotels we visited before. Meats hard or overcooked, salads very limited. Snack bar very limited - some basic crisps, icecream and peanuts on offer, drinks ok however coctails need a supplement paid. Evening entertainment far from desired, only flamenco show was interesting. Staff speak very basic English, so sometimes communication was tricky. Service feels very impersonal. No medical staff or support on-site.

Good stay at the hotel, the staff is really nice, the view from the bedroom on the sea, the swimming pools. Food was nice.
Very big hotel, can be crowded in summer.

Breakfast was good but could be a little chaotic at busy times.
Would prefer more non-buffet options at lunchtime (the bar does have a small but acceptable menu).
Loved the golf, table tennis, chess, entertainment (all free).
Rooms were very good & clean.
Parking could be a bit tricky to find a space. Not impossible- just could take a while.
Staff all very helpful in all areas.
Pool areas were good - but outdoor pools were cold (end of May/early June).
Overall, good value and somewhere I’d recommend to friends… but probably wouldn’t return because I prefer to visit restaurants outside the hotel rather than all-in experience.
