The receptionist and manager forced me to upgrade because I have a child (who does not need extra bed) so I did and I paid the upgrade fees in cash at check in. They gave me a receipt that shows only part of my cash payment (for one night) when they forced me to pay for all the nights and I did. At check out, they asked me to pay for the upgrade fees again for the remaining nights because the receipt only shows I paid for one night. I should have checked the receipt carefully but I never expected them to be such a fraud. I ended up paying double of what I should have paid for the room upgrade which was forced to begin with. I paid in cash so I don’t have proof other than the wrong amount on the receipt. Also, there was no hot water in the shower and thry couldn’t fix it the entire night. I showered in cold water then tried to sleep wearing my jacket as I was freezing. Argued with them the whole night to fix the hot water and didn’t get any sleep at all.

Average. 5 star prices 3 star service
The one thing this hotel lacks is service. There are no staff by the pool side and when you do see one they are no paying attention. On the half board package you get an insulting 20 euro discount from a la carte restaurants. The food and drinks are very expensive which is why nobody eats or drinks by the pool. I arrived at 1am and when I got to the room it was like a sauna. The air conditioning is very weak and so did not cool down until the next day so the sleep was very bad. At the Japanese restaurant the menus are on iPads and the internet is poor throughout the hotel so the iPads did not work. On the plus side, food at the buffet for breakfast and dinner is decent as is the service there. In conclusion, the hotel has the potential to be very good but lack of training and quality of the service lets it down.

It’s unfortunate to book in a hotel and make you pay 100 € for a relaxing chair in the beach , also the food is pretty expensive if you want to grab a quick meal next to the pool I think that the place is really over rated and a bit expensive for what they offer … I should mention that the room description says that it sleeps 4 but once at the place they made us pay extra for each child saying that the room only fits 2 adults and one baby … we ended with the same room we booked but we payed an extra 400€ for two night …
