Excellent Resort and location
Excellent Resort in a great location, on the beach. Own area on beach which was kept very clean and had free sunloungers and umbrellas available for Hotel Guests. In the hotel the cleanliness was at its best and food was very fresh, lots choice, service was great. Staff friendly and helpful. Pool area was lovely, lots sunloungers and fresh towels with outside showers that were both hot and cold. Seperate changing and shower room near pool for use on departure day after checkout.

Hotel is run down
The hotel is very run down. Staff was nice but this hotel is a 2 star on every level. Pool was not heated so nobody would swim. The halls have no ac so boiling. Sunny beach is a fun place but it is a dump. The food is gross except for the fish restaurant that is not part of the deal. That place is great. Buffett is sub par. Anyone who says the food is good is nuts.

Memorable holiday
The experience was absolutely awesome. The hotel gives you a feeling of being royal and the ambience is regal. The reception is excellent and check in very quick. The amenities are good and the room was spacious and with an envious view of the sea and the hotel pool. The view was even more lovely at night. The food on offer was mouth watering and the spread was more than one can ever imagine. A truly great stay.
