  Excellent family holiday

  05 Jun 2026

  We stayed here at the end of May 2026. From start to finish, we loved every moment. So for the food, we stuck to the main buffet restaurant mostly, which had really nice options. They rotated a few items but also had a set few items too. We really enjoyed the snack bar also, as they had a mix of pizza, baguettes, wraps and fresh salad / fruit. We had one meal at the Oriental restaurant (book in as soon as possible as not open everyday!). This meal was also very nice and was a lot of fresh options. The restaurant staff are very friendly and welcoming at all the different areas. The entertainment was a personal highlight for us all, including my young children. The day time entertainment included some pool activities like water volleyball, aerobics etc. The nighttime’s were very good, especially the kids discos and the singers they had. The hotel employ some really great entertainment staff, so a special mention to them all, specifically “Manny” we think and the two guys with braided hair. They are amazing dancers! The splash park is great for the small children, ours really enjoyed it. It’s a nice breakaway from the main pool areas. There is also a small kids pool next to the bar area, which is equally good. The main pools are nice and didn’t get too congested, except during water volleyball! There is no sun bed scramble (this maybe different for August time)! You don’t have to get up by the crack of dawn to save a sun bed, even one in a prime location. There is a lot of areas to get a lounger, including some raised areas, away from the pools, which were good for quiet sunbathing. The location is perfect if you aren’t interested in venturing too far on foot. Whilst there’s everything you need at the hotel, there’s a few bars, shops and restaurants a couple mins walk from the hotel and a few more restaurants within a 10 min walk. The beach nearby is quite small but there’s another called Praia De Falésia, which is worth visiting. Can reach on foot or taxi. One night we visited a Mexican restaurant down by the local beach, a 5-10 min walk from the hotel. This was lovely and very good value for money if you’re looking to try something different. The spa is worth a visit if you can fit it in. I had a sports massage and my wife had a relaxing massage. Worth the money. Beware they are cash only but there’s an ATM at reception if needed. Lastly, the rooms. We were kindly upgraded free of charge, to accommodate having two rooms next to each other. Another great touch from the hotel. They brought all of our cases to the room on check in. We had two pool view family rooms. The rooms were very sizeable, and clean. Credit to the cleaning staff, they were very good and also friendly. Thank you very much for a wonderful stay and we hope to return in the near future.

  Nice hotel but not for us

  03 Jun 2026

  We recently stayed at this all-inclusive hotel and overall had a mixed experience. On the positive side, the hotel was exceptionally clean throughout, including the rooms, pool areas, and public spaces. The housekeeping team did a fantastic job daily, and the staff were always friendly, polite, and helpful whenever we needed assistance.The sports bar was also a real highlight of the hotel. It had a much more relaxed atmosphere than the rest of the resort and became our favourite place to spend the evenings. It felt like one of the few areas where you could properly unwind and escape the crowds.Unfortunately, there were several disappointing aspects that stopped this from being a great holiday. The rooms didnt have a stocked mini just an empty warm fridge with no stocked drinks or refreshments.The entertainment was another major letdown. If you are expecting evening shows or lively entertainment, you should definitely lower your expectations. Most evenings there was very little happening, which left the adults and children feeling bored with not much to do after dinner apart from go to the childrens park and then back to the room. Dining was also frustrating at times as there were daily queues just to enter the main restaurant, particularly during busy periods. Dinner service often felt like a cattle market — overcrowded, noisy, and rushed — which took away from what should have been a relaxing dining experience. In addition, there was no table service anywhere in the hotel, which made the all-inclusive experience feel less relaxing than expected.We also spent a lot of time waiting for lifts, which became frustrating very quickly. On several occasions we gave up waiting and used the stairs instead. Thankfully we were not staying on one of the higher floors, especially as we had to carry the pushchair up.The sunbeds around the pool were also disappointing. They were quite uncomfortable, and the backs constantly moved, making them difficult to sit on or relax properly.The hotel itself is lovley has great potential, and with some improvements it could be a fantastic place to stay. However, it currently feels far too overcrowded, which impacted our overall holiday feel.

  Very enjoyable

  03 Jun 2026

  This is a much smaller site than we have been used to on all inclusive and the sun loungers, though very numerous, did seem quite packed together....however, there are enough quieter areas for those not in a big group or not wanting to lie right next to strangers.In complete contrast to our last destination, this place has plenty of staff and the difference is so noticeable....it really makes a big difference. Short queues for dining (usually less than 5 mins to get a table) , but everything cleared away quickly and efficiently.Good selection of food, the only downside is that some of the food could do with being hotter....I think if they gave the option of having a warm plate for hot meals, that would have helped.We had 2 causes to contact reception - one out fault, one not....both were dealt with quickly and efficiently. The level of service here is much higher than other places we have been.Overall, really enjoyable and I would definitely recommend for families and couples (we went as a couple, but despite it being very family friendly, we didn't feel out of place)

  exceptional food, extremely clean and brilliant location

  01 Jun 2026

  Just back from a weeks day at this hotel with a 3 and 11 year old. Was an absolutely brilliant hotel - extremely clean (you constantly seen staff cleaning all areas at all times of day), food was exceptional - a wide variety of choice ranging from a huge salad bar, Italian section, meats veg and fish, different breads, soups, puddings etc. Every night there was different foods available in the main restaurant. The poolside restuarant was the same food each day but again a variety from wraps, rolls, pizza, salad,, burgers, fruit etc! (There was also a Mediterranean restaurant which was great (buffet style) and an Asian restaurant which we didn’t get round to trying.Entertainment was great - my three year old loved the mini disco and the water slides outside! My 11 year old enjoyed the pool games and quiz in the evenings! One day they every had a children’s day and had a bouncy castle, popcorn, face painting etc.Location is brilliant too - there is a handful of restaurants and shops in the village and access to a small beach but a much larger beach is a ten minute walk away down some steps which is gorgeous (my other half ran down the beach to vilamora).Vilamora is a 10-15 min ride away which you can do in an Uber and albufria is also a 10-15 min uber away. We much preferred vilamora as was less busy than albufria and had more nicer places to eat and drink by the marina. Would highly recommend this hotel!
