Beautiful location, fantastic value

We chose the all-inclusive option and it was excellent value. Drinks were generous, the buffet had genuine variety and the à la carte restaurants were the icing on the cake.

Loved the food and the pool

Pool was lovely and warm, beach felt private and clean, and the spa was a highlight. A few rooms could do with a refresh but ours was perfect.

Couldn't fault it

We travelled as a family of four and the kids' club was a hit. Pool area is huge, plenty of sunbeds, and the entertainment in the evenings is the right balance of fun without being intrusive.
