"I was really worried about our holiday after reading previous reviews so I thought I should reassure people who have booked. The hotel is big, there’s a big pool and plenty of sun beds. A lifeguard regularly comes round and checks if they are being used and if not they’ll put a note on which you can remove if you’re there but otherwise your things will be removed for you to collect if you’ve been gone for over an hour. This is actually a really good way to make sure those who need a sun bed get one. The rooms are big and clean with air con. The safe costs €3 a day. In the all inclusive is breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as crisps and some pots of ice cream. You can buy other ice creams and cocktails or upgrade to imperial all inclusive for €45 a day. The meals were fine - lots and lots of choice. Always a lot of fish and meat, breads, always pasta (which can be plain) and pizza. It was all fine but became a bit dull as the week went on but as I had a fussy eater I was just glad there was always something simple for him to have. The beach nearby is beautiful but there aren’t sun beds or parasols to hire there so the hotel is missing a trick not hiring them out but all the Spanish guests seem to bring their own with them. It is a Spanish resort although we met lots of British guests too. The staff are amazing and are brilliant at trying to translate our needs. Practice a few simple phrases and please and thank you as I think British people forget it’s an ‘us problem’ that we’re in a different country and don’t speak the language. Location wise it is very remote and other than the beach there’s not much around. We found a pizzeria a 15 min walk away which was ok. The restaurant on the beach didn’t have good service and forgot half our meals. The Naos restaurant by the beach on the edge of the hotel was good but if you’re after a bit more to get out to or eat out then you’ll need transport. A lot of people cycle. A lovely, relaxing holiday which I was pleasantly surprised about."

"We're from Portugal and we went to see the moto gp in jerez and we chose this place because it was the best option for us (price, location and quality) it went well, and we liked it a lot! Good to leave the motorcycles protected."

"We probably didn’t get a full experience as we only stayed one night and the weather was atrocious"
