What was the standard of accomodation like?

What about the food and drink, where you all inclusive?, because that is what I have been looking at.

Is the location good?

Sorry, lots of questions, I know :grin:

No problem at all - ask away !
Standard of accomodation was good, it is a big complex with several pools(not all heated). If you are checking in at night it is not very well lit !
We had a room with two bedrooms and bathroom in the middle. Can get rooms with a kitchenette aswell I think.
We were also all inclusive, the standard of food was good but I suppose with any all inclusive gets a bit repetative. But being able to get up and down if you did'nt like something was perfect for the kids. Mine will eat pretty much anything so I was ok, think you could book and go in different restaurants which we did once to the Canarian one- don't bother it was rubbish !
Drink all ok not named brands though you have to pay extra for those, rose wine was fine though ;)
Kids entertainers very good and helpful they also turn into the "entertainment" at night which was pretty laughable.
There are a LOT of germans here too.
The location I did'nt think was all that great, when you come out of the complex to go to the so called beach it's rubbish. Very rocky and definately not the lovely beaches you pass on the way there.
We were only there a week so did'nt bother venturing any furthur as just wanted to chill out. No restaurants/bars to speak of nearby, and a taxi ride to correlejo(blackpool as someone told me)
We really went here as I managed to get a very cheap half term week with no extra spends needed as all inclusive. Good website to get it through was onthebeachdotcom!!! if you get my meaning as don't think I can post web addresses here !
Excellent for a quickie holiday with not much extra spending money needed in my opinion :)

Not been to this hotel but just to say the dunes that you will see as you arrive at the resort are very easy to get to by taxis very cheap or the local bus even cheaper:)I love this resort, for the dunes alone,,but also plenty of restraunts and the water park is nice for a day out:)

We were there August last year and enjoyed it. Location was ok but lots of building work going on next door - although we never actually saw anyone working, so there was no noise. The beach club we didn't bother with, sand ok but lots of rocks. There was a shuttle bus which ran to the dunes a few times a day - this was beautiful with crystal blue sea. Very hot though. We went with the intention of having a week doing nothing but get sun and swim (and eat). Never bothered going anywhere.
We had the two bedroom suite which was lovely, cleaned every day. Lovely high pressure hot water when we wanted. Lovely bathroom which was between the two bedrooms. The grounds were lovely and we even saw cleaners cleaning things like lights with small toothbrush type brushes. As mentioned lighting not so good when you arrive, but we did manage. One tip - you are given two card keys - for the lights to work you have to put one card into a slot when you get in the door if you see what I mean. Towels on sunbeds were an issue - sorry, us British by far were the worse for this. One British family at the pool we used must have been up at god knows what time putting out about 11 towels, then not turning up until midday.
Lots of Italians when we were there.
We were all inclusive and enjoyed the food. We got freshly filled baguettes at lunchtime - lovely and it was nice for the kids to just go off whenever they wanted a coke or something to eat . My only criticism would be - when we went to the Italian for opening (as kids were starving) it was timed with the little tots disco which would have been ok if it was pop music - but it was action songs like 'I am the music man' etc. - ok you are thinking but I work in a playgroup and we do that song a lot so to hear it on holiday did irritate me :d:
