Spa Hotels in Block 257

Very mixed opinion of this hotel . I generally don’t post negative comments preferring to give the hotel a chance to put things right if there are any issues but I think this hotel needs to decide what it wants to be . We booked all inclusive as a late winter sun get away ( price very comparable to the same package in the Caribbean ) . In some ways thank goodness for the all inclusive the food and drinks are staggering expensive if you pay as you go . On the positive side the staff are really friendly and try really hard with the service . The hotel is clean and well equipped , outdoor pool is heated and the beach area is lovely . On the negative - you can only use the buffet restaurant for your meals - we accepted that as it is becoming more the norm with all inclusive and the food is really good quality but apart from that the policy is bizarre to say the least . Drinks ( very limited choice which you only get to know about when you try to order something ) is only available from 11am till 7pm at the beach bar and pool bar , then in the buffet restaurant . After that you can’t get an all inclusive drink not even a cup of coffee . We’re not big drinkers only had a couple of alcoholic drinks with dinner but you can’t even get a soft drink except water until the outdoor bars open at 11am . Just tried to get a bottle of water and a Pepsi at 10.43. - only water available till 11!!I find that really wierd and doesn’t really make you feel like a valued guest . Security check your bags to make sure you are not taking your own drinks onto the beach - one guy actually had a can of Pepsi confiscated. I

Great room, all is clean and maintained. Complete necessities and complete appliances to use while you stay. You can cook your own food as they have kitchen and fridge available in the room. They attend to our needs right away whenever we call them. Bed is great.

The breakfast was good, the front desk was very warm, the room was very big, the hot water was not too hot, walking 1 km was the park, many restaurants, many locals went there to eat and relax.
