We absolutely loved our stay and the only disappoin**ent was that I only booked for one week. Was excited when I booked this but this then got knocked a bit when I saw some of the reviews. All I can say is that my expectations were met and exceeded. As others have noted, the journey from the airport is quite lengthy. We booked a private transfer with ‘Lion Transfer’ (recommended) and this took 1.5hrs. The hotel is isolated which is what we wanted, so all good’. The hotel is stunning. Check-in was very easy and the lady on the desk was lovely and welcoming. We were then driven to our room in a golf-buggy and the young lad explained the set-up. Absolutely fantastic room, very tastefully decorated with a good sized balcony which had a great view over the pools, grounds and the sea. The bed was huge and so comfortable, that and the blackout curtains led to us missing breakfast on a few occasions (very unlike us). The quality of the food was very good and there was always a wide variety for us both (meat eater and vegetarian). This was by far the best food I have experienced at an all-inclusive hotel. We booked at the Italian one night (after some great work from the lady on reception). Wife said that the Salmon was one of the best she has ever had. My chicken was nice but nothing special. There was a limited choice as some dishes must have sold out or shortage on delivery. There was a bit of tension in the air with some customers expressing their disappoin**ent (quite strongly on some occasions) and you could see the staff were doing their best. It didn’t bother us at all and we had a nice evening regardless. Overall, the staff were very helpful and polite. A couple of grumblings from one or two particularly from one on the first night to the other staff, but didn’t see him again after that. Extra credits to the young, dark-haired lady at the infinity bar (always smiling), the two at the cocktail bar in the evening (very professional and awesome cocktails), to the young lady that runs the snack bar by the main pool, very friendly and helpful on all occasions (pizza was delicious and a nice choice of ice-creams), the reception desk lady and to George who was brilliant in provided first-aid to my wife after a tumble just before we were leaving (no alcohol involved either). Absolutely brilliant all round. *So sorry I couldn’t remember individual names. Great selection of drinks and a lot of premium brands available. We enjoyed working our way through the cocktail list and trying some new drinks. Spent one day at the pebble beach with snack hut, which was really relaxing and the shuttle bus back was appreciated (walked down but didn’t fancy walking back up the steep hill). We walked to the nearest village and back one day which took about a leisurely 45mins each way, lovely little beachfront with nice restaurants (recommend OPA). Overall, although there were a few minor teething issues which will be resolved the longer it is up and running, we absolut
