Visited for five nights in end of May. We upgraded and stayed in the newly built panorama hotel behind. This had a larger balcony and gave us an upgraded wristband which allowed us meals at lunchtime in the Italian restaurant. The room was spacious and clean but needed parts finishing. The balcony had not been finished well and the toilet had a gap where it hadn’t been tiled properly. The food in the restaurants was okay but the buffet although well stocked wasn’t five star quality. A huge positive for us was because the hotel was quiet we seemed to have a pool, bar and restaurant to ourselves for the first few days. This was great and really enjoyed the food and service. Drinks were okay but again not the greatest. All known cocktails seemed to be extra and the free ones made up and a bit weird. Although we went all inclusive and obviously got our moneys worth we did walk to a couple of local restaurants which were far more authentic and worth a visit.
