Food was amazing , friendly staff

Clean, food, very close to beach. 1st time at an AI and could not fault the food, was very tasty. Gorgeous fresh orange machine for breakfast. Rooms spacious and clean for 2 adults and 2 kids (12 & 10) Spa was beautiful and lovely to escape the hot sun for a swim in a length pool.

Evening meals- restaurant could be made nicer- candles, waitress service for drinks a bit better, often left to get my own glass of cava. The pool area overcrowded, often escaped to beach. The area where the ping pong table is should be changed to house the spider slides, then the main pool could be linked and made much bigger... to small for the amount of people staying... We only sat there from 430 each day as was far to busy in the day. Towels were out at 730 just to get a bed!! I’m not up for that.. we went the beach every morning, came back for late lunch then did the pool. They really need to think of extending the pool size. It is the only thing that I would change.

All the staff were really professional, friendly and helpful. The restaurant food choices were very good and during our week stay we had 5 theme nights. We had a superior room and it was very comfortable and kept spotlessly clean. The kids disco in the evening was the highlight of our daughters stay and the entertainment most evenings was good. The location is good as you are tucked one street behind the pine walk and beach so can easily access the shops, bars and restaurants of the area.

There was not enough space between sun beds around the pool so you were on top of people you did not know! There were not enough umbrellas either. If you want a bed near to the pools in order to keep an eye on your children you need to get up at 6.30 to reserve one as by 8.00 they have mostly all gone. We did not like that all drinks around the pool are served in extremely small paper cups which get soggy and are also not environmentally friendly. They should serve all drinks in a washable beaker and it should be good size. The bar is also far away from the pools so getting a drink just becomes a drag. I would imagine they do this to stop people drinking too much, but in fairness we paid a lot of money for the IA option and felt cheated in regards to drinks.
