So we booked this week away as two families with teenage kids. This was booked knowing it was a cheaper deal and 3 stars. We have been to a lot of countries across Europe, America, the Caribbean and Mexico. Our expectations weren’t high due to the price point. So we can’t really complain on that front. It was an all inclusive package, and realistically it would sit at the bottom end of 3 stars. In general, the staff were polite and friendly (you get a few exceptions, but you get that anywhere). The room is very basic and limited on space. But again, we knew what we were getting for October school holidays and the low price we paid. The maids came daily to us, but were hit and miss to our friends who were staying in the floor below. In terms of the food, it wasn’t that good, to be honest. We only went to breakfast a couple of times as the food was often cold, even when brought out whilst you were there. Not a great deal of choice, particularly with your main meal or if you were a bit fussier. Your children will not find chicken nuggets or pizza here. Although they will sell you pizza at the bar for 11 euros. The main buffet is in the basement area too. The lighting is poor and quite depressing and was akin to something off a prison show or Squid Games! There was no fresh air down there, although they had air con. But after a couple of days, it kind of brought you down. The tables are small too and not wide enough for the two chairs they place under them and that’s even for the less rotund customer. The snack bar probably had the best food, but only if you like a toasty or hot dog. The “hamburger” was made from a yet unidentified meat. But if you read someone else’s review, they mentioned rats around the pool. We didn’t see any, but we didn’t spend a lot of time down there. We sat on the balcony area near the bar as it was quite a nice sun trap as it was a little windy when we were there. The entertainment at night was ok, but will depend on what sort of entertainment you’re accustomed to. Karaoke was a funny night, listening to people singing songs from a time when you could sing whatever you liked without the threat of being cancelled. We laughed when we heard “we are having a gang bang …” amongst other songs! We didn’t partake in the singing ourselves, but lots of others did. If you have young children and you’re on a strict budget, they’d probably really like this hotel. There is a mini disco at night, and kids run wild around the hotel. The place is noisy all day and night, so don’t expect a decent nights sleep or an afternoon nap. Lots of parents just let their kids play on the stairwells and in the corridors, where even a rats fart could be heard from the floor above. The other thing you need to prepare yourself for is the “token” system for drinks. You’re given a token for each person and you exchange it each time you want a drink. The cups are tiny and it means they don’t have to pay anyone to collect cups as you are responsible for y
