At the time of our visit (early July so a bit before the really busy season) shaded sunbed space was plentiful.

We went in May when the temp was about 23-28 degrees and it was very relaxing as not too busy with plenty of sun beds.

The entertainment girls kept all the family busy throughout the day and night.

A few wear and tear marks after a busy summer season

One large pool which never felt busy despite being the middle of August.

but we then became aware, after reporting to the TUI rep our concern that it could’ve been the hotdogs being served from the snack bar (as they were stored in a hot cabinet that was constantly opened and closed due to it being so busy and hence the temperature was not maintained) of another 7 reported cases to TUI of sickness.

but, there is a small beach with the sea in busy use that may make a change from being around the pool all day.

Really busy at these times, be prepared to be patient for pizzas cooking, meats grilled etc as this done freshly.

but a small cove which is a lovely hide away from a busy and noisy hotel.

but could imagine it would be very busy in peak season

Yes the dining room was busy and a bit noisy at times,

I can imagine in the busy months that the pool and restaurant would be crammed .

It was not too busy at that time of year and there was something for us both to do together or separately morning, noon and night.

We thought about the times we went for food and avoided busy times - common sense.

however it was in the basement so got very very hot down there, it felt like a school/hospital canteen sometimes when it was busy!

Food is cold and is not covered from the flies.

Shocking hotel don't waste your money rooms are not the best food not great hardly any there at meal times seems to be the same everyday would not recommend coming g here today they closed  the restaurant at lunch by time so unsure what people can do the snack bar food is terrible cheese burgers served stone cold .

we had three cheese burgers and some chicken nuggets everything was stale and cold or so hard you couldn't eat it.

Food always cold with long queues as there was only one chef who only cooked about 6 pieces of meat at one time.

It was consistently cold (there are microwaves to heat it up).

The ugly - the food was just awful, very repetitive and always cold, was glad to go home to eat hot food that was actually cooked as so many foods are served undercooked and unfortunately there isn’t anywhere else to eat in the area.

but repetitive and mostly cold but it was nice
The wasn't much to do around the local area apart from a small beach .

Cold burgers or burnt chicken nuggets and all pre cooked and stored in a large metal container keeping the food warm.

Pools were lovely, a little on the cold side

but we're noticeable at times around the cold foods section.

The pool itself was really really cold though.

The snack bar also only serves food at luke warm temperatures (burgers, hot dogs, chicken nuggets and chips all received cold and uneaten).

but comfortable appartment and daily maintained, a bit noisy neighbours, large restaurant with daily a lot of different buffet choises (warm and cold) but unfortunately (mainly UK) guests that spill a lot of food

Upon on arrival all seemed as booked, we were delayed and the hotel had made a cold buffet available, we were too tired and went to bed

With children’s and adult entertainment in the afternoon and evening, we were very happy with our stay and would return again.

but they would do it anyway, we got fresh towels every day for our room, beds made and bathroom cleaned which was nice 

big and clean pools, one giant pool with a kids area and another quieter pool up the top.

My little boy struggled so much he lived on dry pasta and baguette and my husband has lost 2 stone 🙈

Yes there are flys and wasps everywhere

room cleaned every day clean towels everyday great food pool aeras great lifeguards on duty daily children well looked after all staff very Friedley could not do enough for you entertainment in night very good

Nice little kids area with slides and splash zone.

There was entertainment everynight for both kids and adults as the entertainment team was very nice and always ready for fun.

The pool was brilliant and perfect for our children aged 3 and 6.

The pools were both fantastic and the kids pool was perfect for them.

The room was perfect for 1 adult and 2 children, would have been a bit of a squash with 2 adult.

SWIMMING POOLS - 1 large one which is excellent and never over 1.5m a childrens pool, play area toddler pool and separate quieter pool a small 100m away on same complex.

Night time entertainment wasn’t great, I think they could put a bit more effort into this and involve the guests and children more!

the food is what i would expect from a resort like this always something to eat great chips,if you are looking for 5 stars dont come here its a family complex and kids good and naughty ones everywhere

There is also a kids pool that has the slides and fun activities.

The kids, after 2 weeks didn’t want to leave.

The kids club was cute staff there lovely.

Entertainment - kids club hosts were great -

It was a family holiday and perfect for the kids!

A young girl had sunburn and the blisters were popped.

There is also a play park and pool area with 4 pool tables.

The hotel and pool area is clean & tidy and the apartments acceptable ( after we asked to move on the first day) 

The bad - the place is deserted There is not a soul about in what is basically a housing estate.

The pool was a good depth for both adults and kids and mine personally loved the splash pool.

This hotel is perfect for families or couples, the swimming pools are decent size with lots of sun loungers always available!

There is a wide choice of food and drinks, entertainment is limited, pools are excellent, lots of space.

The good bits - great  pool area , nice rooms , great shower , food not really that bad

The pool was great, not really busy, plenty of sun loungers as well.

We absolutely love this place, we had a two bed apartment with balcony which was clean well equipped it was large great beds, the pools are fantastic we loved the food the staff where amazing would highly recommend  it’s a quite area which is what we wanted the beach which is five mins away is beautiful loved our stay here

As we were ground floor near the smaller pool (which is still a brilliant size) we had a lovely outdoor space which we were able to put sun loungers on.

The pool is brilliant and the rooms are as expected.

though there are plenty of pool tables outside, by the snack bar.

Hotel was very close to the airport so brilliant transfer time , pool area was very nice lots of sunbeds and no rush in the morning .

Amazing Reception staff super helpful and friendly nothing to much for them, we has an apartment by the smaller pool which was great, the beds are hard

You have to pay extra for the safe on an all inclussive and cost us 74 euros for tax so you better budget for the conservation tax.

There were no open restaurants nearby and the price for half board was so low it didn't make sense to cheat on the chef.

Staff 10  food 8 clean 9 pools 10  entertainment 4 drinks 9 rooms 7 shops site bus 1.75 euros  day trips catch the bus it's cheaper had a lovely week I would go back again.

but on the whole you get what you pay for so value for money was fine

I know it was not expensive at all so cant moan about the money.

From Tuesday on we didn’t eat at the hotel again, wasting money, as we had paid for all inclusive.

Staff:
We're brilliant, absolutely lovely welcome when we arrived, really first rate and set the scene for the holiday.

- Hotel towels are provided, can be replaced at a cost of 1 euro.

but at the end of the day they have done a great job at making it child friendly, for what we paid for 1 week all inclusive, i think was good value for money.

Pool towels are included in your stay and if you want clean ones you pay a euro each.

We also traveled to Mahon which cost £15 Euros and back I have actually uploaded to my YouTube channel our 7 days at the hotel -

Suffice it to say that despite this being an all-inclusive resort, we were so desperate for some decent food that we paid for a number of meals outside the hotel.

My daughter visited the kids club once and this was for the chocolate party, it was sunday 6-8 and cost 9 euros

Whilst Thomson rate this as 4 star it is officially a 3 star.

The entertainment was as you’d expect on this kind of holiday, the girls had lovely voices when they sang and the kids characters were great, so great that i paid €27 euros to bring teddy versions of them home with us lol!

Staff on arrival was brilliant helpful the room was cleaned every day the food and drinks perfect.

The hotel was very clean and the rooms were cleaned daily, with the towels always changed.

This hotel is lovely, rooms were clean and look fresh and modern, beds weren’t very comfortable

Room was clean and big with a balcony and lounge area.

Clean room and pool areas and regular bus service to mahon.

Excellent hotel, extremely clean and our room was superb it was massive and everything you need.

Rooms were clean, comfortable and well equipped.

Rooms where very clean and tv was brilliant had most channels and music 
I would definitely return very child orientated it was brilliant

Rooms are clean and you can hire cot/high chair whatever you want for your room really.

Rooms clean, spacious and has everything you need.

Pools and beds were plentiful, lots of room and clean surroundings.

but this doesn’t take away credit from how hard the staff work ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hotel- hotel is nice and clean rooms cleaned daily apart from Monday.

The room was spotless and large for a studio room.

We returned last week from a 7 day family holiday with out 13 month old, the hotel looked clean and the rooms were nice and cleaned daily,
There are a lot  of flys and wasps everywhere, the pools aren’t that clean.

Our room was clean and our bedding was changed when we used the card in the room to indicated we'd like fresh bedding.

Hotel itself is excellent, very clean rooms, clean sheets and towels, hair drier, safe, good size rooms, comfy beds, patio area with small clothes airier, table and chairs.There is a toilet, sink and shower, good size room

The hotel rooms are very clean and hotel staff are great.

Free shuttle to the beach was a nice touch

The big plus is the water park it’s brilliant and free for all guests.

Bonus for the holiday was the water park, fabulous for the family and in with the cost of the holiday.

There is a free bus to the local beach and the public bus to the city Mahon is only €1.80 one way and stops right outside the hotel doors.

The added water park is definitely a added bonus and a fun place to be, if you are all inclusive the drinks are included at the water park.

The splash park was good, free of charge and unlimited.

Nothing special repetitive as most all inclusives are (big thanks to the chef who sourced gluten free snacks for my partner)

Last of all free entry to Splash water park across the road if your on an all inclusive basis which was a lot of fun.

Amazing stay here, water park attached to the hotel was amazing and the free evening entertainment.

Water park across the road an added bonus included if booked AI with certain travel providers open 10-6.

There's a free bus to the nearby beach, every hour.

58 in total or 45 per person with the rep

Getting about

All outside the hotel
Free shuttle bus really good to punta prima 
Buses to mahon / sant lluis
Train all the way from punta prima to binibeca

I would honestly ignore the negative reviews and recommend trying this hotel.

I think we would return here one day as the water park is such a bonus.

Free entry to the waterpark was an excellent bonus, and would recommend going there as well as going on the glass bottom boat from Mahon which was just an hour tour well worth it.

Free entry and drinks included (foods excluded).

There is a free splash bus every hour from the hotel to take you to punta prima.

There is a small cove a few minutes walk from the hotel which is lovely to swim
In and also a free bus to punt prima beach.

The water park is such a great added bonus, our 12yr old loved it.

Punta prima is a short free bus ride away with a good selection of local restaurants and shops.

There is a free app called MOOVIT which was handy re buses as it tells you where and when buses go etc.

We have just come back from a week away with our two children aged 6 and 9.

Entertainment was okay each night l, kids mini disco every night at 8.30 for about 20/25 mins.

10 days all inclusive last visited in 2017
This is a great place for families we were going to go 2020 with our grandkids

we were AI and found the food fine always plenty of choice even for fussy grandson.

Stayed here all inclusive for a week as a family of 2 adults and a child.

All in all, good holiday, kids loved it, cheap and cheerful!

The kids sofa bed was right next to us also.

We met a family with  2 children and they  struggled with storage and space.

Activities and fun games through the day for kids and adults.

We made the kids disco a couple of nights,

We are a family of 3 including a 3-year-old boy.

Travelled as a family of 2 adults and 3 kids ranging from 4-9 years old.

Tia, Sophia and Sandra were great getting the kids and … adults 😂 up for a dance with the kids disco #koukoumove …

but it is all children’s stuff, if you have kids this is great but of an evening as an adult there’s nothing to do other then sit and listen to baby shark the same time every evening.

Kids adored the Disney show, which was actually pretty brilliant.

Travelled as a family of 7, the children's ages range from 10 to 13 years old.

There is so much to do the entertainment team all were really good with our children particularly Sandra, Valerie, Paulo and Franchesco.

Yes my fussy son lived on pizza and hotdogs

They had aqua every day at around 6pm and then some entertainment for smaller children. Brilliant!

The water park is great snd yes it's salt water

Splash park right out front of the hotel,

Water park was ok, pools were salt water which we loved the reason behind it conserving water and using sea water

The water park is a big plus I think especially when you have kids.

The splash park was fantastic and had a lot of fun in the pool.

Water park across the road is good fun and drinks included with all inclusive in there.

If you have the water park included in your stay, drinks are all inclusive

I’d come again just for the water park and how close it is to the hotel.

The waterpark didn't disappoint and we went nearly every day, lots of sun loungers at the water park and we never had a problem getting any.

The splash park included was the reason we chose this hotel and we was not disappointed both loved it there.

Rooms were clean and comfortable with a service and towel change nearly every day , the cleaning ladies were lovely.

Rooms were clean and functional, cleaners did an amazing job.

This hotel is good standard, rooms very clean , food delicious and caters for everyone, children and adult activities fabulous,  water park great, rooms had every thing we need, entertainment first class and great value for money.

Rooms are tidy and big enough for what you need to use them for on a holiday.

The food is good and the rooms are clean.

The hotel rooms were clean, spacious and air conditioned so

Housekeepers leave your rooms and everywhere immaculate every day .

Rooms- very clean and beds we found were quite comfortable, we asked for extra pillows and got them within minutes.

From arrival, the staff were so friendly and welcoming, our room was spotless and we could always find something at meal times to enjoy.

The room was clean and plenty big enough for the four of us, the only downfall would be the shower - the way the doors opened is where the sink is, so slightly awkward when showering the kids.

Rooms were cleaned to an exceptional standard daily, floors mopped, bedding changed regularly and made beautifully daily, bathroom always spotless and towels replaced when requested.

Amazing hotel, clean room, food was another level every time and what really sets it apart is the staff!

Rooms were cleaned to a high standard every day.

We arrived at the hotel to a friendly reception the room 150 was spotless clean

The rooms were spotless and very comfortable- we had a connecting room which was perfect for families.

Overall the hotel was clean and we couldn’t fault the daily maids who were always friendly and did a great job in maintaining room cleanliness.

but are fine, the showers as very small and turning in them at times was interesting but we dealt with it.

but it is what you pay for, rooms are very basic, tiny TV with only 3 English channels, bathroom is tiny with a tiny square shower which if you’re a larger person you’re not getting in there easily.

The bathroom was very small and struggled to get in and out of the shower due to it being very small and the toilet being directly next to it, leaving very little room to move.

but no biggie, only as we prefer a bath for our small kid.

Room - Party of 4 basically the room was one room with a put me up bed and two single beds pushed together so a living room area with make shift beds and a small balcony and very small bathroom with only a shower/toilet/sink in.

The beds are uncomfortable and the shower is so small so if you’re a larger person you might not be able to wash, and the water floods at the bottom of the shower during.

Small shower cubicle, toilet, hairdryer and sink.

Although the shower is very small, u turn around and knock the shower off 🙈😅.

but bathroom was small with a small shower and no bath.

although the shower is small.. 
food is good (I’m a fussy eater abroad and ate more than I usually would) 
water park is fab, we did prefer the pool area for the kids and the park was within seeing distance from our sun beds as our kids are a little older meaning we didn’t have to stand over them 24/7.

As other people have commented the shower is small

- I also agree with the review a little below about the small showers.

The rooms, showers too small, doors do not open fully as they are too close to the sink.

The room (twin) - basic room, comfy, nice view, air conditioning, small shower room (no lock on door

however the shower is tiny and in a silly position so the shower door opens on to the sink.

free

Small fridge was useful, no tea and coffee making facilities which was a shame.

We rented a kettle €19 which was bought to room and left with some tea bags no milk or coffee which we had to go buy , when we booked out there was no refund on kettle if we had known this would of put it in my case !

Prices from the bar are overall quite high, a coffee down at the beach costs 50 cent less.

I thought having to pay for WiFi, safe and towels excessive, I thought not being able to have tea or coffee with lunch or dinner weird (you need to get these at the bar after you leave), I thought it would feel way to crowded with kids around (we were there week before half term so was quiet

It is a shame that after breakfast at say 9.00 there is nowhere to get even a coffee until the bar opens at 11.00.

The only improvement needed is a coffee machine available on the terrace after breakfast before Blue Bar opens - 10am to 11am.

All inclusive drinks are served from the blu bar, like most all inclusive hotels the drinks are of standard quality, you can pay for a 'decent' drink should you wish, I found most of the alcoholic drinks weak to be honest and after a few days of trying different drinks was more than happy to have a tea or a coffee.

*** Just a note,if you are on half-board,then water,soft drinks are included,but not beer/wine(the last time we visited it was)***

Minus Points:
There is no mini-fridge in the room,or tea/coffee making facilities(although you can hire a kettle i believe).

There are no tea/coffee making facilities or a fridge in the rooms, these

Microwave could only be used at meal times to warm baby milk.

Orange juice was horrible, and so was the fizzy drinks and milk, all watered down.

but extremely clean, had a shower room and balcony, no fridge, would have preferred a kettle and tea stuff rather than the tv.

No fridges in rooms for your water no tea and coffee making facilities.

but very basic, there are no tea/coffee making facilities or fridges, we did pay the up charge to have these however most hotels we have stayed in prior, having these included tends to be the norm but I have to remember this is a 3 star hotel, although it warrants much more than this.

Only quibbles are the on going lack of fresh juice and decent coffee at breakfast (machines produce oddly coloured and odder tasting liquids)

I added espresso to cortado into one small cup to make it a bit stronger.

but just have to mention a few minor things that, if addressed, would make this place 5 star:

1) UHT style milk made tea undrinkable.
