This was a very memorable experience They made us feel at home. We were not demanding and they still went out of their way to go above and beyond to give us a great experience. The beach club and water park are a must. They all knew who we were when we gave room number. No lines and very courteous . My o lay complaint is I did t stay longer

A stay here was always on our bucket list so we decided to go for our first wedding anniversary. We arranged the hotel transfer which worked seamlessly. We went to SAL for some lunch prior to our room being ready which was pleasant. Our room was pretty wow, and was nice and clean. The bed was the most comfortable I have ever slept in. We went for dinner in the 2 michelin star seafood restaurant with wine pairing and it was fantastic. Breakfast was quite the spread - not sure we did it justice. We had spa treatments the following day which were lovely. A few negatives, our fridge hadn't been switched on in the room. We got a cake and some fruit which we'd put in there but it went bad as wasn't chilled. We noticed the smell the next day. The butlers were there at the start but we didn't really have much interaction with them. I'd have expected they would switch the fridge on before we arrived to avoid a funky smell. We booked under a half board deal however the details of this and the fact that the restuarants should have given us the information about what was included and what wasn't - that didn't happen. So the lunch part of the half board was wasted on a few small plates. Service at SAL was atrocious. I'm not sure we'd ever go back there. We got chased back to the hotel like thieves after signing for our bill which was still open as there must have been a staff training issue and they didn't see it. We cancelled a future reservation with them and had to follow up on that as the customer relations hadn't got back to us in a day and a half. Checkout wasn't a brilliant experience due to the misunderstanding about half board and the bill however a day later we did get a small refund to acknowledge that. Overall we are glad we went but a few things soured the experience. I would go back to eat at the main hotel restarurant or to take friends but I'm not sure I'd go to stay at the hotel, to the beach club or SAL again. Read less
