It seems some people don't like an honest review but this was our experience. We knew it was for the elder clientèle as we had read reviews and actually been to the pool here, my parents are in their late 70s and love the place. We had this hotel booked 12mths ago and for the price we paid we expected much more.
We were brought up to respect our elders, however some of the elder clientèle think they are entitled and showed no respect.
Received a nice welcome on arrival but the following day staff were rude and abrupt. Room at the side of lift and had the smallest balcony I've ever seen. Room very dated and the carpet was filthy, others complained of cockroaches.
Upgraded to All Inclusive, only had breakfast and evening meal three times as was ill. Saw the chef handling raw meat (pork chops) the carving cooked Turkey, prawn crackers full of flies. Pool bar food was was nice but the older waiter was a right misery. Pool is fantastic, lounge bar was an eye opener. Some waiters were lovely.
Unfortunately the reviews we had read beforehand are right.....its like an old people home, blokes sitting about in slippers and women crocheting jumpers. Defo not 4* and won't return, was glad to get home.

Rooms were spotlessly clean. We had a room with a large balcony and a view over the pool area and out to sea. Even though we were half board we had to pay for hire of kettle and safe , which we expected was included. Depending on your age and mobility the shower is actually in the bath which could be a problem for some. Maybe there are room with walk in showers.

I recently stayed at this hotel and our stay was wonderful from start to finish. All staff were very helpful, rooms were very clean, facilities were excellent. Breakfast was fabulous. We had a late evening flight and checked-out of our room at midday - the reception staff offered us a courtesy room to have a shower before our flight. I would highly recomended this hotel. It was approx 25 minute walk to the main strip in PDC, however, taxis are super affordable.

I've used this hotel about eight times. I don't think I'll be using it again.
Unless you are in reception or the bar area, the WiFi is non- excistant.
I'm not.too bothered about people walking around me to get food as others seem to be. The food was ok, but not as good as five years ago. On my last day having breakfast, a cockroach crawled across my lap, nice. A couple I spoke to said they'd had cockroaches in their bedroom.
I used the gym, but the equipment needs maintenance, for example the rowing machine screen doesn't work, it just needs a new battery.
If you have no intentions of going out, then the hotel may be for you. The entertainment varies from ok to poor. Not a hotel for the younger person, there weren't many below the age of 65.

This was our 5th stay as we love it. Yes it has an older clientele although some kids come but really nothing for them except pool. Good is good always something to eat. Staff are lovely from reception to housekeepers. Some staff are like friends now. Will be back.
