4 night stay
Stayed 4 nights in a jr suite. Large spacious room facing the ocean .
Rooms cleaned daily / comfy beds . Takes a long time to get hot water in the shower
Very clean and well maintained hotel
Pools is busy with activities . Plenty of chairs as long as you get up early .
We did all inclusive , plenty of drink options . Food is good but can be repetitive .
Close proximity to numerous beach clubs and restaurants .
Overall good stay , solid 4 star option

You will not be disappointed. Great hotel and staff. Punches WAY above its weight.
I have stayed here a few times now. Once, twenty years ago, when it was called the Ferrox, I think. Absolutely still fantastic. Firstly, a really interesting building in its own way. Built in a Moorish property design. The rooms have great views. Housekeeping is absolutely extraordinary. Constant public areas are constantly being serviced. Nothing shows any wear and tear. Maintenance really quick if needed. Spotless (yes, really). Facilities are fantastic. The main pool is amazing. The restaurant is lovely. Constant "live" cooking and refreshments by the kitchen staff of the buffet. The food was really varied. I love the fact that about half a dozen main, cooked food "meats" were available to order at the buffet. Not dozens of warm Bain Marie's of questionable quality. The huge selection of cold starters and sweets was just fabulous. Breakfast was equally a great experience. I loved the wonderful lady, who cooked omelettes to order. A highlight. Lovely soul. Met, greeted, and shown to a table by welcoming staff was very pleasant. I will be back next year if possible. The Beach is a one-minute walk away through a key card gate. Absolutely lovely beach on its own. So many activities to join in if you want as well. Absolutely recommend. The hotel punches way above its VFM weight. THANK YOU.

Get it booked!
Overall a fantastic holiday - classic Iberostar standards that have never let us down.
Location - right on the beach, supermarket 3 mins walk. Beach not the nicest but we’re used to white sands / clear water.
Hotel - 10/10 stunning building, grounds kept immaculate, staff work so hard.
Food - 10/10 never lets us down at Iberostar we use them across Spain and Balearics.
Drinks / bar - Great but pool bar staff could do with some training, not Iberostar standard with customer service skills.
Room - we had 1 bedroom apartment in block 1 which was perfect for us. Child slept in living room and we had separate bedroom
Staff - overall great, especially restaurant staff.
Pool - perfect. Only thing was we were not permitted to use floats etc.
Activity / entertainment - as always we have said for years Iberostar are really behind with children’s entertainment for being a resort there really is not enough. Simple tasks like arts and crafts, messy play, colouring. Just not enough from young or or old children.
Value - you only get what you pay for. Iberostar are a little more £ but the food is so important and it is always 10/10.
Noise level - out apartment block was away from main hotel building (just opposite reception) and we had no problem with noise.
Overall fantastic holiday would definitely visit again. We are family of 3 from UK.

Lovely hotel
Really nice hotel. Fabulous food every meal and great snack and ice cream available all day. Staff all very good. Rooms very nice and cleaned very well and kept well. Nephew enjoyed the children’s club a lot. Gym is quite small but lots of good equipment in there. I would have liked it to be open a bit earlier than it was ideally but was still ok. Even if entertainment a good mix of things. Easy access to the beach/sea right across the back promenade.
Location was fine some other restaurants etc nearby at the beachfront but definately an area of all inclusive hotels so not loads to do in the immediate vicinity. That said, it’s nice to walk for 5 mins to the bars etc along the beach and also taxis are plentiful if you need them.
My only downside to the stay was that I was on the sofa bed and it was rather uncomfortable. A thicker mattress is needed as could really feel the bed frame through the one used.
