Amazing spa ! I was with Eleni and Emma Excellent experience 🩷
Good but not a true 5-star resort.
The grounds are clean, modern and constantly maintained, with staff cleaning quickly everywhere. Nearly every pool has its own bar, the sun loungers are very comfortable, and the cocktails are good (e.g. Havana Club rum in cocktails). A nice touch is the compressed-air hose for inflating water toys.
The rooms let it down. Ours had broken LED lighting and trim hanging from the ceiling, not what you expect at this level. Our "upgraded" family room was narrow and small. Comparing it to the superior room photos, I'm not convinced it was an upgrade at all.
A few service gaps: the poolside bars use quite small cups, no table service and the main bar in the evening has long queues. The indoor spa pool only allows children until around midday. One windy day we wanted to take our 8-year-old there in the early afternoon and were refused even though the pool was completely empty and we'd have bothered no one.
Clean, comfortable and well run, but the room quality, missing table-service and a few rigid rules keep it short of five stars.

Excellent
I stayed seven days at this hotel with a two-year-old toddler. The food was excellent, very diverse, catering to all tastes. The rooms were very clean, the pools were plentiful, and the children's area was very entertaining. Plenty of play areas, both outdoor and indoor. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. All I can say about this hotel is that I’d return anytime. I recommend it to anyone with kids who wants a pleasant vacation. Five-star hotel and at a very good price.
