Only 2 nights - average.
Stayed here for 2 nights in early September, when easyJet cancelled our flight home to Edinburgh. Our previous holiday hotel was fully booked and so we had to move here. We booked a Grand Club pool view double room, but the hotel very kindly upgraded us to a seaview room. The good and the bad ... The room was quite small. The view was lovely. The air conditioning was good. The toilet and shower room facilities were really small with only a single basin and a narrow shower. We ate breakfast in two different restaurants. Fairly standard buffets. Food was average. We ate dinner on our first night in the Asian restaurant Hana, and the food was average / below average. Not very authentic Asian. We ate dinner on our second night in the Italian restaurant Bella Riva, and the food was very good. We liked it. Both nights, we witnessed arguments, clashes and aggression between members of staff. A manager, a waitress and 4 or 5 chefs. They seemed to be unaware that guests could see. The main bar in the lobby serves really good cocktails and the bar tender there (don't know his name - dark hair and a beard) is absolutely amazing. He works at the speed of light and his drinks are excellent. He's a real asset to the resort. Overall, this is a big hotel with lots of facilities to cater for both families and adults only. We liked the adults only swimming pool area. However, the sun loungers at all the pools are cheap and uncomfortable. Our departure pick-up was not until 6pm, but when we asked if we could keep our room, we were told NO. After some negotiation, we were told that we could have 2 extra hours until 2pm if we paid 40 Euros, which we did. Unfortunately, there was nowhere cool to wait for the 4 hours, as the air conditioning in the Grand Lounge was really poor and the temperature outside was very high. Would we return to this hotel? Probably not.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE😍😍
We must mention Kelly, a very special person to our family, especially to my daughter Ama. She went out of her way to find desserts adapted to her needs at the buffet and was absolutely lovely with her. We also tried the new Mexican restaurant, and it was amazing! A wonderful experience overall. Highly recommended!
Super location but slightly dated.
The hotel is in a great location and has wonderfully friendly staff, always eager to assist. Adult-only pool areas for Club members was a big plus. The only downside was that the bedroom wings of the hotel felt very dated. The reception area and pools gave off a 5* vibe but the routes to the bedrooms was dated as well as humid and what I’d expect from a 3+* hotel. The rooms were clean and light but let down by the rather oddly large toilet cubicle that had no wash basin or towel rail.

Not 5 star! Especially if you are a foodie
This place is not 5 star at all. Needsp major work to become 5 star. The hotel used to be a 4 star before Grand Hyatt took over and they suddenly relabelled it 5 star just because of the brand? There seriously needs to be some official committee or something that reviews hotel star rating because it’s very deceptive.
The good
- Great location with a beautiful beach. Clear and relatively calm waters. Great for kids. Nice walk along the beach as well.
- Friendly and helpful staff
- Bella Riva à la carte was decent and so was Ember grill
- My son loved the slides in the kids pool area
The not so good
- Food was a huge problem especially at the buffets. Very disappointed and absolutely not 5 star quality. Everything was overcooked and dry. Veggies were discolored from overcooking or being left out. Very few options compared to other resorts I’ve stayed at. No food options outside in between main meals. Only a small cafe that serves cold sandwiches and cakes.
The “Asian” à la carte restaurant was really bad. Not Asian at all. The Pad Thai did not taste anything like Pad Thai and the neither did the Kung Pao beef which tasted like green curry. See the pictures attached.

Kids pools were dated and needs some cleaning and repair
-
Kids club was quite small. My son usually can stay in the kids club but he got bored in less than an hour
Unfortunately, this stay fell well below our expectations and I will think twice next time I come across the Grand Hyatt brand. I still don’t know how one 5 star resort can be so drastically different than another. As I mentioned I wish there was a global standard or official authority that determines star ratings.

Great for a relaxing holiday
Fantastic location, excellent facilities, outstanding cleanliness. Adult only pool was so relaxing. Grand club breakfast restaurant was quiet, unhurried and had a fantastic range of food.
