Will definitely recommend specially good for families.

Brilliant location, lovely staff at hotel. Hotel is lovely but a little tired and dated. Not as much choice of meals as I would expect from luxury all inclusive. It wasn’t as easy to use the other hotels in the group as we’d hoped - the ‘quota’ had been reached most days. Also water sports not as readily available as also booked up.
