to get started.

The hotel looks beautiful. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and clean. The breakfast and dinner (as part of half board) exceeded our expectations with regard to both variety and taste. And although the hotel was full, we felt the breakfast and dinner were well organized. Actually, everything in the hotel ran very smoothly. And the family pool is lovely. Our check-in was fast and efficient.

And although the hotel was full, we felt the breakfast and dinner were well organized. Actually, everything in the hotel ran very smoothly. And the family pool is lovely. Our check-in was fast and efficient.”

We booked our room with breakfast and dinner included . I was surprise that at dinner I had to purchase water . I think at least a bottle of water per table should be complimentary.
I really enjoy my stay , we were spoiled the all time by the staff and by the all facilities that the resort provides for their guest. We will sure visit again .

The Lexington grill was very disappointing as no lamb chops on the menu and this was one of the reasons we used to go there and the wine is so over priced!!
We loved the pool area and the breakfast.

Cleaning of the room only occurred at 5PM and after 3 phone calls to housekeeping. I had to say that I would call the GM of the hotel if it was not done immediately..... In an expensive 5 star hotel it is not acceptable to find seats of several chairs with holes in it.... Details make the difference.....
Beautiful building interiors. Nice restaurants. Nice garden

- Lack of veg options and veg food was kept between meat dishes with no separate serving spoons. - Water leak in the bath room, took housekeeping long to assist. - Could not sleep the second night as to much loud noise from the rooms below, contacted reception and it took them 3 hours to resolve. - Lack of staff in the pool bar. - Lack of staff around the pool area. - Coffee table and the desk not cleaned, had water marks on them.

- • Leisure trip

It would be nice to have more options for children, some water slides, splash park or similar. The kids club is mostly for very small kids and should be improved. We wish the water in the family pool had been 1-2 degrees warmer, but this is a personal preference. The sea was full of jelly fish. The pillows are not that comfortable and the bedding with a duvet between two flat sheets definitely needs to be improved.
