Still recovering from severe food poisoning after a fortnight at this hotel. Myself and my husband were both struck down with this 4 days into the holiday and a week and a half later we are still suffering. We have had to consult our own GP and are waiting on test results.

Ideal holiday on every count. Go there and ignore the moaning English people that have no idea what the island is like outside the resort. It's stunning and the resort is awesome too!! more

Also the sea isn't extremely clear but it was still wonderful. Pedalos ,kayacks and mini catamarans are included but the jet... more

Biggest change we found was the hygeine - everywhere you go there were gel hand clean stations, reminded me off crusise ships.... Compimetary reviews peior to this one say it... more

As soon as we arrived... more
