Pros +
- Very little. It is totally unsuitable for an overnight stop.
- Great Location, really family friendly with all the comfort needed. Food was also very good
- The swimming pool and access to a very good beach.
Cons -
- Very poor directions/signage. Access was via an unlit field track with no illuminated signage and a locked gate at the end. When we finally ascertained that this was the correct place and access, we could not drive to our room/apartment and had to lug all our luggage in the dark (thank goodness it wasn't raining!) We had just driven 1000km and this was the last thing we needed.Access to the room was via dangerous steep concrete unlit steps - carrying all our luggage. Site signs were not illuminated and only the reception staff seemed to speak any English.The 'restaurant' was no such thing. It was a massive industrial-sized cafeteria with no instructions or any prices of what you would have to pay. the evening food was awful and you had to queue for everything. The staff were unhelpful.This is totally unsuitable for an overnight stop, we cannot recommend it and we will not use it again.
- Smoking in a resort with young children. There should be designated areas even outside to prevent passive smoking risks.The food was shockingly poor in its quality and variety leaving aside the lack of options and labelling given food allergies. Drinks were clearly watered down and portions very small meaning multiple trips particularly for soft drinks. Paying for all inclusive as a family yet ice lollies were additional costs. Limited provision of gelato and most of the time desert was simply fruit.Breakfast was extremely poor and very little in the way of cooked breakfast available aside from bacon and frankfurters.Gym is essentially non existent. I have more equipment in my garage. Too difficult to know where to obtain sports equipment and kids club.
- Founds a wasps nest above our door when we first arrived, and flies/ants in the bathroom. There were holes in the wall so despite getting rid of them they kept coming back. The rooms need updating for sure.

Food was adequate. The train to the beach was cool and the beach was lovely.
