Thoroughly enjoyed my stay here

Excellent value for money. Pleasantly surprised by the food offerings, for example roast suckling pig at one of the buffets and amazing choice of freshly squeezed juices at breakfast (kiwi, melon inter alia). Always something decent available 24h. This my 3rd visit here and I shall come again. Pv and this resort are great fun :)

friendly friendly

This hotel is obviously very popular with many repeat visitors particularly from North America.Food choices were great, and the drinks flowed freely.Hotel staff were all very friendly..Hotel although a little dated was kept very clean Rooms near the lobbycould be a little noisy later at night if the younger crowd continued dancing to loud music.

Hotelli rakennus on jo hieman vanhahtava, mutta on todella siisti. Huone oli iso ja parveke myös. Allas alue on hyvä josta on todella hienot maisemat merelle. Ruoka ja juoma erittäin hyvää ja palvelu erinomaista.
