“I give 5 stars for Jade at reception. What a lovely young lady. So helpful and friendly, very capable and professional. It’s these experiences that people remember and make their stay even more pleasurable. Good service means a lot. The location is faultless, really beautiful. The rooms are very clean and have all you need. I am very happy and will come back again. Thankyou Jade for your kindness to me and my husband.”

“The place speaks for itself, we came for the pool mainly, the kids absolutely loved it. They did a lap at night while it's all lit up in a little inflatable boat! The resort looks really cool built on the pool, with so many different pool sections for families and kids. The place is spotless, can't fault anything here. At a reasonable rate for us finding an apartment through airbnb, we will definitely come back another time. We have come in May so it was pretty quiet in the pool, I can only imagine this place in summer though.”

“The guy at reception when we first arrived was so sweet, he found out it was our anniversary and upgraded our room to the pool view and spa bath in the room aswell as gave us a free bottle of wine, and some sweets. Every morning greeted by lovely staff at reception, we havent been in ths pool much due to it being winter but the spa has been a god sent !! Amazing and sooo relaxing.. the restaurant was so good with accommidating for kids with kids menu and delicious meals and great service!!”

“Overall a fantastic place to waste a weekend by the pool. This is the kind of place you spend most of your stay, as opposed to a launching point to do something else in the area (or, porque no los dos). The pool gets a lot of use but there's usually plenty of space to yourself. The spas, on the other hand, seemed to be an endurance challenge for some and you'll find yourself sharing them if you don't get there early.”
