Väldigt dyrt (all-inclusive) för att vara helt okej hotel. Inte mycket extra utöver dricka chips och mat.. om man inte räknar vattengympa och halvdan underhållning som extra :)

Propreté impeccable superbes piscines. Le seul point négatif pour nous c est le restaurant qui fait un peu cantine mais cuisine très bonne et beaucoup de choix, nous avons mangé en terrasse pour avoir moins de bruit. Autrement c est parfait

Court séjour

L'hôtel est très bien, confortable et en très bon état. Accueil et personnel parfaits. Mais la restauration, dîner et petit déjeuner, est mauvaise.La plage est celle de la lagune, déconseillée, les belles plages sont à 15 kms.Il n'y a rien à faire autour de l'hôtel

Amazing value buffet dinner, and staff were excellent. Sadly let down by the location next to the environmental disaster of mar menor

Very good "resort" type hotel. Very friendly staff, clean. Would benefit from real access to sea with a beach and less concrete near the pools: More trees / green. Will come again, for sure.

Nice if you just want to relax

Really nice hotel, great food and variety of choice. Room was amazing patio that walked out straight onto pool area. Bed and pillows very comfortable Drinks hut was a little manic, you’d to time it right or you could be stand waiting a good 10-15mins Entertainment on an evening very poor, day entertainment were lack luster, aqua fit in pool was so underwhelming I gave up, no energy from staff member at all

100% recomendable

Comida variada y de calidad, la habitación muy cómoda, las 3 piscinas grandes y limpias, el personal muy amable (camareros, limpieza, recepcion, cocineros, animación.... mención especial para Lidia, los niños la adoraban). En general, hemos disfrutado mucho estos días: los peques de la animación que ofrece el hotel, y los padres de la tranquilidad que íbamos buscando. 100% recomendable.

El hotel es muy bueno, con excelente comida e instalacciones. Lo recomiendo. Sin embargo, la playa más cercana estaba con el água sucia y llena de medusas. Tuvimos que ir en coche para las playas del mar mayor.
