Really enjoyed our stay here, spacious with rooms that are clean. Plenty of amenities including bathrobes, beach towels and buggies to take you all over the resort. It is possible to walk if you’re able to, at peak times there was a queue for them. We were staying in separate rooms and balcony views were gorgeous. We hired a car but there are plenty of supermarkets within walking distance if you need anything. Good location and there was evening entertainment but we kept missing it because it was around dinner time. It would be good to have tables and chairs near that area to enjoy the entertainment while you eat or drink. More than one pool available too, one catered to kids and the other is an infinity pool overlooking the beach. Beach is gorgeous although the buoys are set out in a very small area which isn’t helpful if you want to take photos without people in the background. We didn’t eat at the restaurants but breakfast was lovely and bar staff were great when getting drinks. Seher served us and he made sure we were happy with the drinks we’d chosen. Really friendly staff who do all they can to make your stay comfortable. I know I’ll be back soon! Thank you and shoutout to Isaac because he does a brilliant job! Read less

I can’t understate how lovely and friendly all the staff are, but special appreciation to Hedra from the Lounge bar who looked after us and even helped with my sunburn, also big thanks to Amir, a buggy driver, who always stopped for a friendly chat. The staff at cinnamon restaurant and the food truck were also just above and beyond. We were truly looked after. Read less
