The staff was rude and not accommodating. We received little to no service at the pools and beaches. We got our own drinks and served our own group of about 20 people. We waited close to an hour for anything that we ordered. Sometimes we cancelled orders because it exceeded the hour wait. The pool was not cleaned well. The beers were mostly froth… Read more
The staff was rude and not accommodating. We received little to no service at the pools and beaches. We got our own drinks and served our own group of about 20 people. We waited close to an hour for anything that we ordered. Sometimes we cancelled orders because it exceeded the hour wait. The pool was not cleaned well. The beers were mostly froth and warm. The food was bland and repetitive and wait times were long. There was little entertainment at night. Very disappointed in the way we were treated and spoken to. Read less

Very well laid out and appointed resort. For the most part, excellent service and food options. Enjoyed Sunset Cove immensely, and the Escoveitched fish @ Poseidon was really great. Had a good relaxing time! Special mention for courteous service from Tracy-Ann B @ reception!!! 👏🏽

Third stay here, fist appearances and greeting 10/10 are high, then you see that the resort has slipped, big party vibe on Thursday/Saturday, a la cartes no dress standards, three are good, the rest have slipped in food quality. Buffet variety the same for two weeks with little variation. Never a full supply of towels in your room, had to use same towel evenings and mornings. Signature areas a waste of time as under used due to extra cost vs what they offer, lounge are being the exception. Beaches not tidied or litter picked enough, sunset cove has lost its special feel, dirty sunbeds, no litter picking, groups of staff sitting together doing very little. Overall we still had a good holiday, room was amazing, pool fantastic, staff great, however it’s no longer a five star hotel, 4* at best. Read less
