Pro’s: nice room, great sea view, cleaned well everyday. Nice pool and seating areas on beach, gardens and pier. No issue with finding somewhere to sit. Food was very good, especially for breakfast and lunch. Speciality restaurants were a nice change for evenings. Service always very good. Con’s: poor quality spirits and wine, entertainment was on quite late (9.30pm start) and of varying quality, air con barely worked - we complained but were told it was fine. Not very much to do in the local area. We had one trip into Side, but no nice local walks apart from along the beach.
We had an absolutely amazing holiday and made some lovely memories as a family! From start to finish, everything was brilliant, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
The team were absolutely fantastic — so friendly, helpful and welcoming, always going above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. They really made us feel welcome and made our holiday extra special.
The food was great, with plenty of choice for everyone, and the entertainment was brilliant too! There was always something fun going on, and the entertainment team did an amazing job of keeping everyone entertained and creating such a lovely atmosphere. They really helped make the holiday enjoyable for the whole family.
A massive thank you to the entire team for making our holiday so special and memorable. We genuinely loved every minute and would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fantastic family holiday. We would absolutely love to come back again! ❤️

Really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Views from the pool out to sea we're to die for. We had a side sea view room and were very happy with it. We ate pizza at the aqua park snack bar. Pizza was lovely and fresh. Unfortunately chips were cold or recooked on 4 occasions. Pool towels well worn and cold do with replacing. But overall a really good holiday, so much, we have rebooked for next summer already👍
We had an unforgettable experience at this hotel. Angel made us feel welcome from the beginning and was always so pleasant. The cleanliness was excellent, the meals were very enjoyable, and the animation team brought so much energy to the holiday. The evening performances were outstanding. We would love to return!
