“Absolutely outstanding.”

Oh my word what can I say?! I don’t think the reviews do the hotel justice. My husband and I have just returned after a five day break. The hotel was nothing short of phenomenal. The staff, the food, the location and facilities were out of this world. We normally stop in AP Adriana (been five time and so been to AP Victoria) but as a treat without the children we came here. Our room view was insane. The food was incredible. Hot, plenty of choice and a stunning setting. The “vibe” was so chilled it was unbelievable. Without a doubt we would return. Just what we needed ❤️

“Good for a 4 ⭐”

Visited this hotel for a weekend away. Lovely staff and lovely location. You are really entertained as they have live music every night. We opted in for all inclusive which was a great choice, cocktails were great not diluted staff were always happy to help. The roof top bar is lovely and over looks the hotel, you are able to order your drinks snacks etc. I received a bottle of champagne and a cake for my birthday which I felt was very thoughtful and a nice touch. Dinner and lunch was lovely a lot of choice aswell as fruits and desserts to choose from. Oysters were served and I loved the self service display as you could pick up what you wanted. The place is kept clean but you do have to wait a bit for the maids to come by to clean your room. This hotel does have a lot of guests who play golf which isn’t an issue as we met people who educated us re the game and is mainly for the mature crowd as it welcomes guest from 14 plus on wards. You are unable to access Netflix and or YouTube although you can access the channels in English majority of hotels do have this with a smart tv. Staff advised us that this was a management decision to prevent hackers I was slightly disappointed re this as this was the first time I had heard this. Breakfast was just ok as not a lot of choice for people who don’t eat pork for eg only pork sausages avail and bacon it would have been great if alternative for non pork eaters such as chicken sausages and/ or turkey bacon. The Ria restaurant was just ok but could do with a face lift in my opinion as it is just a space with chairs and tables put together (I actually thought this was an actual restaurant). We didn’t get to use the spa facilities as it was mandatory to wear a swim cap which we didn’t have one so please ensure you have one with you. I wanted a massage but when I came to the desk there was no one available as they were carrying out a treatment. I did leave my details as there is a form you complete however no one called me so unsure re that process. You do need to pay the reception 10 euros in cash for a towel again wasn’t informed re this until I requested one and couldn’t get it as I only had my card which was a bit frustrating as I thought this could have just been charged to our room if this was not returned. The pool area was lovely but just as an FYI there are A LOT of seagulls in the pool at certain parts of the day. I am not sure if this is hygienic and did not go into the pool for this reason however some guests did go into the pool. Overall my stay was just ok and I would go back but wanted to feedback the above.

“Very enjoyable break”

Just returned from a 14 night stay here. My overall opinion is, I don't understand all the negative comments on here. The hotel itself is modern, the rooms are great and very comfortable. We were given a room overlooking the nature reserve and it was lovely to see flamingos and other birdlife here. We had binoculars which helped. Plenty of wardrobe and cupboard space but take extra hangers as there are only a few. We were on all inclusive, so two bottles of water provided in the fridge. They don't replace them but you can refill them at water points in the hotel or ask the staff. One thing about the rooms though, is the design of the toilet door, its etched glass but not entirely private if that bothers you. The bed was extremely comfortable though one of my pillows was a bit small. We had a couple of housekeeping issues, they didn't top up the tea and coffee (teabags you can get from the breakfast buffet) but coffee sachets you need to ask the housekeepers. Also found a dirty pillow case on the side one day, wanted bath towels changed- they only left one. Reception soon sorted the issue. The area around the drinks tray was never dusted the whole time we were there. I actually work as a housekeeper at a hotel so know how tough the job is, however, a bit more attention to detail makes all the difference. Food was excellent, plenty of choice for everyone and drinks more than acceptable, cocktails are too sweet as from machine. Wine was good esp the rose. The Grill restaurant was ok but the Ria is much better, food was very good and waiter service too. Fabulous sunsets from the pool bar upstairs, which we used every night as the downstairs was very noisy. There were a lot of big groups who book this hotel and some could be very greedy with drinks so sometimes the bar was very busy but the staff coped well. Wine is in a bucket on the end of the bar downstairs so you can help yourself. You have to put your card on a reader to register your drinks but that's for stock control. If you forget on occasions, no probs, they just ask you to bring it next time round. Overall, we had a lovely time but generally we prefer a quieter hotel or apartment, but if you like all inclusive, this place is very good. ONE LAST THING... big thanks to all the reception, bar, restaurant and fitness staff, especially Daniela and all in the Flor restaurant, Prabhav and Elvio in the pool bar and the fabulous Bruniele and pool bar staff, they all put up with A LOT from us tourists, and if you treat them with respect you will get it back in spades. Well done all of you!

“Breakfast omelette. 😳”

Would’ve loved a freshly made omelette, with chilli’s, at breakfast. Never been to a holiday hotel that doesn’t do that. Asked for one, and was pointed in the direction of a large pile of pre-made ‘omelets’ on the counter. Peculiar. Otherwise, enjoining myself.
