When you arrive and see it from the street, it is very underwhelming! Left wondering what on earth I had booked. But once inside it all changes. Large reception area and then out into the actual resort itself. No big hotel buildings here. Instead the rooms and complex is built in the style of a quaint village. The rooms themselves are fairly basic inside but the doors have good locks, the wifi works well, air-conditioning is good, two single beds moved together....comfortable enough. Fridge, free bottle of water each day, plenty plug points, balcony with table and two chairs, kettle with coffee and tea sachets, shower foam in the bathroom. Bathroom towels and pool towels provided. Beware if you are larger sized however as the shower cubicle is fairly tight. The negative? Having to pay an additional 3 EUR per night to use the room safe! Why at an all-inclusive resort do they do that? The pools are clean enough, the staff are friendly, the beach is a small affair with a rocky shoreline. No fine, golden sand here but there is at least a small beach. Although there are two a-la-carte restaurants open on certain nights, I never went just sticking instead to the main buffet restaurant. Maybe not the biggest selection/variety of a resort and rather repetitive with some dishes, but it tasted great. I thought that some of the dishes were as good as I have had at any resort hotel anywhere. There is pool bar down at the lower pool but it closes before dinner. The main bar however is open until late. The staff there are hard worked! But friendly. Local beer is fine but if you want foreign beers then you have to pay extra (e.g. Heineken). But be aware as drinks ordered after 2300 hours have to be paid for. Not included in the 'all inclusive'. Also beware that some popular drinks are also NOT included in the 'all inclusive' package. If you want an Aperol Spritz, a Pina Colada, a Mau Tai, a Margarita then you also have to pay extra and if I recall correctly it is an additional 5 EUR for these drinks. One other to bring to notice. The resort is on a slope and there are numerous steps to go up and down for restaurant, bar, pool, reception etc. Where there are slopes they are on uneven stone slabs. I saw a couple of people with mobility issues having difficulties. The resort is graded as a 4 star and I suppose that or maybe 4- or 3+stars would be about right (if such a thing existed). It does not pretend to be something that is not. It's clean, food is very good, staff are nice, rooms are OK, pools are decent, can walk to go anywhere in town. Would I consider going back? Yes, I would. For the price I thought it was decent value for money.
