Recommended Trip type: Family "A good deal overall"

Reviewed by Ellen of Melrose on Mar 8, 2008

My husband, 20-yr-old daughter and I enjoyed a 3-day stay in March 2008. Location was good, near the beach, shops and restaurants. Hotel was pretty, with lots of hanging plants in the central atrium, and clean. The buffet food was good, not fancy, but plentiful. The pools ae nice. Nightly entertainment in the lobby was small-scale family-suitable flamenco dancing, 70's music and a reptile show. Overall we were very satisfied and hada relaxing time. The crowd was older, 50's and 60's, mostly European. We bought the half-board plan with breakfast and 1 additional meal per day.
