My friends and I stayed during the offseason so it was a bit quieter but we can’t fault it at all. We had a great time and the service was brilliant from everyone, from the bar staff, to the restaurant staff and the entertainment team.

We visited end August beginning of September. Family of 10 age range 12 to 79. We had asked for 5 rooms near each other and these were made available to us which we were very pleased with. They had a balcony and a decent bathroom. Only water was provided in the fridge. This was not refilled at all while we were there so we just got our own from the bar or dining room. We also got milk from the bar. Tea and coffee not refilled so got tea bags from the dining room. I think you could request on the app but quicker to do it yourself although not my idea of 5* service. Rooms had sockets to charge phone etc. We used the buffet restaurant most of the time as there was only the snack bar for lunch which was any different. It wasn’t too bad at breakfast and lunchtime as not so busy. The evenings on the other hand were stressful for me. Despite our lovely waiter being able to find us a table for 10 in a fairly quiet spot trying to get food was an unpleasant experience. It was so noisy and people pushing and shoving. Manners seemed to be an alien experience for some of the people. People were piling plates high with loads of food and their tables were littered with half eaten food and plates of untouched food. Such a waste. I was standing behind a man who helped himself to watermelon slices. He then saw the server was cutting a fresh one so he just pushed what he had on his plate back onto the serving dish and got some fresh. I mostly dreaded going in there and I can honestly say this is the first holiday I have had when I’ve come home not having put on any weight .. the food quality was good and there was plenty of choice but the atmosphere just killed my appetite. We had the opportunity to use the a la carte Baia restaurant once in our stay, which seemed a bit mean as we were staying for 2 weeks, and this was a lovely experience having someone get your food and wine and be treated with respect. We spent most of our time by the quiet pool which was a very nice area. The lovely lifeguard kept everyone quiet blowing his whistle when it got too noisy. He even got me an extra mattress to make it more comfortable when I injured my leg The kids did occasionally go to the other pools. I walked round there one day and was glad I wasn’t staying anywhere near. It was so noisy with constant banging music. We didn’t really bother with the entertainment although we did venture down to the beach for an evening of African dancing. Unfortunately there was nowhere to sit, so we didn’t stay long. The lobby area which had a bar was vast but there seemed to be a lack of seating. Certain people seemed to think it was ok to sprawl over a four seater sofa which meant trying to find seats for 10 of us for a pre-dinner drink was almost impossible. Three of us managed to sustain injuries whilst at the hotel but we were well looked after by the resident nurse for which we are very grateful. All in all it was enjoyable as we enjoyed it as a family but the lack
