We booked this holiday back in January and as we approached our arrival date I was worried with some of the reviews. However, we couldn’t have asked for a better holiday and these bad reviews were being so nit picky! We arrived 2 and a half hours late at 12:30am due to a delayed flight and the man on reception couldn’t have been better! Wish we had got his name but he’s an English man who only works nights. He was very helpful and quick to get us checked into our room and there were sandwiches and apples left in our fridge and a bottle of water which was great as we were worried we’d have no water on arrival. Rooms- I don’t know why the rooms get so many bad reviews? People say they are dated and old fashioned, I would say there is nothing wrong them? Just because the cupboard doors are wooden doesn’t mean the rooms are dated, the bedding was clean and room clearly freshly painted, it was so spacious too and the bed was huge and wasn’t two single beds pushed together! We were in the main building on the first floor overlooking the outdoor restaurant and entertainment area and we couldn’t hear anything from our room, the music was loud but the walls and doors were thick so that when you closed the door behind you in the room you heard nothing. We had no issues with bugs in the room, yes there’s no slip mat in the shower but you just need to be careful, towels weren’t super soft but they did the job of drying you off, and the shower occasionally went a bit colder or hotter but what do you expect when there’s 100 people showering at the same time! Food- typical all inclusive stuff. The breakfast and lunch was your average cereals and fry up, chicken and pasta dishes. Dinner was a different theme every night and the only night we weren’t very impressed with was Italian night but every other night it was delicious and there were so many options. Snacks served during the day were great too and meant if something didn’t tickle your fancy at lunch you could just have the snacks. All inclusive drink list was fab, so many cocktails and I’m fussy with beer but the beer on draft was very good. Location- I don’t get how people said it’s in the middle of no where, there was a 24 hour supermarket a 3 minute walk away along with some restaurants and bars on the street, the bus stop is right next to the supermarket and buses run every 10/15 mins until 00:15 that take you everywhere for €2 single tickets so it was no hassle. We got the bus up to Coral Bay and down to the Harbour and to Aphrodite Water Park. We asked reception for some help on how the buses worked and they were so helpful and informative that we really couldn’t go wrong. Staff- the staff here were amazing, of course having already mentioned reception staff but the cleaners did a great job of cleaning the rooms, we didn’t have much interaction with the entertainment staff as we are a couple in our 20s but the kids seemed to love them and there were activities such as aqua gym and water po
