Great medium sized hotel. Big enough to ensure lots of food options and things to do, small enough to feel friendly. It was about a 20 minute transfer from the hotel, after a short flight from the UK (2.45hrs). Good god Tui sort out the bus system, people are tired and hot. Make it very clear which lane and which space the bus is in! I saw a lot of people walking around irritated. If the airport won't paint the stops, invest with the other tour operators! if I had limited mobility I'd be furious. It took me quite some time dragging luggage around to find my bus. You need to pay the local hotel tax on arrival. You also pay a towel deposit at reception and take the receipt to the towel hut by the pool to collect. It's predominantly adult couples, with a lovely variety of nationalities and staff who are attentive without being obtrusive. The beach is a short straight walk, down a local street, there are hotel toilets and an inclusive bar (open when I stayed) that served paninis at lunch to save a walk back to the hotel. I saw reviews about carrying sun loungers, if they had to carry them from the hotel that would have been awful but I can only imagine they meant from the top of the beach which is about 20 paces! Beach itself is beautiful with plenty of space and gorgeous sand. The water is clear and warm but no fish to be seen (saves packing a snorkel as Tui are stingy with the weight allowances). The gym is a bit naff, equipment is old and not functioning well but it was only about two pounds fifty to use. Spa looks good, I didn't use it but they have a extensive price list to choose from, prices look reasonable. Rooms are adequate and certainly what I'd expect for the price, no damage or dirt. There is a fridge and shower gel in the room, if you need milk for the tea and coffee included oddly they give you a small cup in the bar to carefully carry up. That could be improved as I can't be the only Brit needing a cuppa in the morning :) Two bottles of water were initially provided with extra being taken from the bars. When I visited there was no air con, (seasonable) but there is a heater which can be set low to create a breeze and it's not horribly hot in the rooms. The restaurant is a good size, with lots of space and sections both to sit and to choose food from. There is an attempt to have variety with some 'safe' choices like, pizza, pasta, chips, bread, ice creams. Each meal offers some local dishes and European too. Lots of salad options and everything is made to look appealing. Didn't experience or hear about any dodgy tummies either which is a good sign. Evening entertainment was sorta kids club for adults, bingo, quizzes, classic songs to do set dances to. Deffo not a nightlife venue. Happily daytime actives are not heavily pushed, although there are a few options if you are keen and as you'd expect the entertainment staff seem lovely and full of energy. As a solo female traveller I was left to enjoy my holiday in peace, which was
