Absolutely excellent. In every single way! Food delicious, hotel gorgeous, villas clean, beautiful and perfect for our family. Kids entertainment is excellent and so engaging for the kids. This is our 3rd year at the hotel, 2nd time seeing Rasi and his team. Can't wait for our 4th year!

We felt a little disappointed when we arrived but that improved during our stay and we left having had a nice time. If you've booked, it will be fine. You get what you pay for and for what we paid we were fairly happy. ROOMS: We enjoyed our spacious and clean rooms. They are a little dated but have everything you need and plenty of storage space, unlike some of the refurbed hotels where there is nowhere to put anything. The beds were very comfy in one bungalow and ok in the other. It was good to have extra blankets (November). It was lovely having a terrace with our own bougainvillea to sit under. GROUNDS: This must be one of the prettiest hotels we've stayed at. Lots of colour from the hibiscus, bougainvillea and more, various cactus plants, palm trees and bananas. We found it amusing when we said "hello" or "hola" to the cats as we walked by, they usually miaowed it back. Our room was quite a trek from the pool but it was good exercise, especially as we seemed to go different ways each time. Better signage and lighting would help. We called our "road" Pom-pom Drive because of our topiary tree. FOOD: We are not picky, we take food reviews with a pinch of salt as you can usually find something nice. However, our first opinion of the food was awful when we arrived but thankfully it improved (and got a bit hotter as the week went by). Our flight had been delayed and we arrived 20 minutes before the end of lunch. There was barely anything left, it wasn't appealing and was barely warm. We got something to try but it was not good so we left it and went to the pool bar for pizza. We made it just in time to the pool bar and got a freshly cooked pizza which was ok. There was a small salad bar which was a little too uncovered for my liking. There is a glass cabinet with wrapped ham and cheese sandwiches, some fruit and a small selection of ok pastries. There is a toastie machine. The pizzas are not around for long, we only managed to get them once. We went for a walk on our first day and none of us could face dinner at the hotel so we ate out. We liked the restaurant, it was clean and spacious, light and bright, and you didn't have to queue. Tables were cleared quickly, so quickly that a couple of times my wine glass and plate were taken while I was still eating/drinking. The cooked breakfast was ok. The sausages on the Live Station were always pink in the middle. If you went to the cooked breakfast station you might be lucky getting a cooked one but they weren't that nice. Bacon was sometimes black or a mixture of ok or undercooked but a nicely cooked piece was fine. The fried eggs, omelettes, scrambled eggs were generally good. The hash browns were poor quality. Breakfast was often warm, not hot and the microwave nearby got used. But there were other things to eat. The evening meals were better. In particular we loved the serrano ham, chorizo, veal escalopes, lemon potatoes, canarian potatoes with mojo sauce. The Indian themed night was very y
