Lovely hotel, clean room, got a free upgrade which was a lovely surprise! Really nice stretch of beach and calm sea. Plenty of sunloungers to choose from around all pools and beach. Great that we can get a shuttle or buggy to the other 2 hotels in the complex and use their facilities. Every single member of staff were so friendly and couldn’t do enough for us. I had a bad cold and staff in the Ibn buffet restaurant made me ginger, lemon and honey in hot water to help me get better, which I didn’t even ask for! I must also mention Michael in the Palmito Pool bar; he was constantly smiling, very friendly and a very hard worker. He made me a surprise cocktail when I was undecided on what I wanted which was delicious and you can see he is very passionate about his job. I still have another 3 nights at the hotel and we can’t wait to return in the future Read less

Very nice hotel. Good service… specially the captains restaurant for lunch. Gaots cheese salade is the best. And special thanks to umesh for the service there. We will come back 👍🏻. Stay for at least 12 days so you have enough time to relax and take the shuttle bus to the three malls .
