Detailed review . To give you some sort of background , I have travelled many places across the world from 3-5* so a well seasoned. Firstly , this hotel is marked as 5* due to the country I never had the expectation of this really being 5* standards however , I aware the rating is usually based on facilities available . Rooms On appearance and arrival the room looks great (stayed in the standard ) . Beds are comfy , beddings clean , mini bar stocked , slippers provided and some bathroom amenities at this point that a standard expectation across most resorts . My view was pretty decent On closer inspection rooms show signs of wear and tear , wallpaper peeling in areas and sort of shabby electrical workmanship I.e light switch covers exposes some wiring behind . Lobby area or main area was clean and decent ,but lobby entrances to rooms were dark and lights were in need of repairs . Spa Booked a treatment ,decent value for money got a fair bit of treatments in a package . Yet again parts of the spa followed the none working light themed Pools and landscaping Most pools were heated , were clean . Landscaping lovely , plenty of sunbeds hammocks scattered across the grounds and beaches 5* stars here plenty of well maintained water slides etc . Mainly , took advantage of the indoor pool. To note for inclusive plus unsure what this was about I assuming it the water parks that gave it this status . there was a lot of additional extras 28euros for zipline ,3-4euros for fresh smoothies orange juices etc like I aware and been on enough holidays to know things are extras but to be honest when inclusive plus I never experienced so much additional extras on site ,however you are not forced or pestered to purchase anyways so is a choice of yours . Drinks were awful ,watered down . Juices were pre-mixed inconsistent. Did cocktails or mocktails the concept of this was good but the taste was none existence could be too sweet etc . But we stuck to the basic sodas and pre mixed juices from machines . Food Because the hotel was so busy . Food was fresh and regularly replaced the chicken burgers were enjoyable , kids like churros and we pretty much ate mostly from the snack bars ,various snacks and packaged ice creams such as twisters . Fed up of living off burgers and snacks I did take or make a salad from the open Buffet this is were I went wrong and contracted diarrhoea.:( first time I have ever experienced this on holiday . It real and it happens like previous reviewers have mentioned . It clearly was down to the salad , as I ate in various places thoughtout my holiday and within a few hours after having this salad fell ill but luckily this happened towards the end of the holiday. The remaining 2days I refrained from eating anything . The main restaurant plenty of food available if arrived early ,tasty I would say seems fresh , bread was lovely and freshly made , early morning similar same theme freshly bakery items. Breakfast opened early enoug
