The worst hotel ever! 1) The staff is terrible, sullen, unsmiling, and unprofessional. 2) The rooms are terrible, it feels like Columbus brought the furniture and it's still in the room. There's no internet. We asked for another room, it's like being in a prison, the beds are nailed to the wall. The closet is terrible. There's no iron in the room. We also asked to change rooms, which seemed fine, but the air conditioning hasn't worked for 4 days. We asked for it to be fixed every day, no one came. We asked again, a repairman came, switched the settings, but nothing was fixed. The air conditioning still doesn't work. The safe is very, very old. The water in the shower is intermittent. If you manage to come back from the beach early, at 4 o'clock, you can still take a shower, but if it's later, it's a disaster. The water is sometimes hot, sometimes boiling, sometimes cold, it's impossible to regulate, and then it completely disappears. 4) The animators are terrible, no music, nothing at the pool. 5) The beach is terrible, there's almost no beach, no one cleans up the seaweed. The showers at the pool are almost broken. 6) The food in the cafeteria is terrible, there's nothing to eat for three days. chicken and a couple of salads. The beef is undercooked, you can chew for a very long time. The staff in the cafeteria is terrible. The next day I wanted this vacation in this hotel to end as quickly as possible. In the end, I will say that do not go to this hotel under any circumstances. I personally would not come here even for free.

Location: far from everything Rooms: Very poor condition, we were in 2 different rooms, the ceiling leaked in both. Reported the problem, moved us the first time and did nothing the second. Lots of construction going on, banging on the walls and the floor above starting around 8am everyday. Great for workers not great for having a sleep in while on holiday. Noise: Aside from the constant banging there is a lot of shouting by workers and guests. The music at the "disco" is quite loud and goes on until the early hours of the morning. Staff: Seem generally unhappy, not all but most. Pool: Pool is nice with a lot of chairs. Beach: Beach is on the small side and covered in smelly seaweed. The he seaweed was not removed from the beach which means having to walk in it, unpleasant smells and a lot of biting bugs. Food: Nothing stands out, overall the food is very very average. Drinks: Are okay bring your own cup, the provided glasses are quite small. Overall Value: The value is not good. Spend a little more and stay someplace else.
