Rooms are spacious abd this good as we hsve young children. However, Food was repetitive and cold most of the time! Food tasteless all the time, even the freshly babequed meat or fish had no flavouring, just bland As all-inc we were allowed to have obe dinner at eaither the italianor American restaurant at the hitel, when we attended for our booking, we were treated as if we were cheap skates! Staff has no sense of humour! Sold us an awful bottle of wine, upon tasting the wone tasted cheap and venegary! When we tild him the wine wasnt good, ge rhen admittedhe knew nothing about wines and said he probably shouldn't have recommended. But of course, we had to pay for it. I then went on to order an additional garlic bread as my 2 year old rrally liked it, I was sloken to in a stern voice that i should be aware anything more than one starter, main amd dessert, i had to pay for any extras! I replied that Iwas aware of this and did ge think after paying £9800 fir a 10 day stay, i couldnt afford a piece of garlic bread? It was after this they returbed with a dessert menu but at that point, I just wanted to leave! He probably noticed their service hadnt been great, and offered for us not to pay for the said garlic bread!🙄. The phone is the room wasnt working from day one and after numerous reports it was then that it was finally fixed, 2 days before we departed.! The room walls are paper thin!. We were disturbed until about 330am daily by next door people who were drunk daily.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel, the food was lovely, cleanliness excellent and staff very helpful. The only few thing that lets it down was the pool area, although there was plenty of sun beds they could not be adjusted and a lot of them are saggy in the middle, the pool area is concreted cracked and in places. The out side of the building needs painting. It just needs a little TLC.

I'm a seasoned global traveller. Expedia messed up my private shuttles twice, I was travelling with young kids. I booked my own and I'm still waiting for a refund. I spent 4-hours on their chat and phone calls trying to resolve it, no solutions provided. I kept a copy of the chat also, for reference. The flight via Whizz appeared cheap, but isn't, they add £20-£25 to select a seat, normally I wouldn't care but I was travelling with kids, so needed to. Whizz also charged me £90 each way to check-in one bag, scandalous! - book a different flight company. I booked this particular hotel for the kids as it showed lots of water parks, however they were all closed!! This should have been advised in advance. There are 3 or 4 hotels within the same complex and they don't actually tell you the hotel name until you've paid - the photos looked good, which is deliberate mis-selling! I stayed at the Polynesia hotel, and the hotel itself is fine, nice architecture within, however it's facilities were also very very poor. Only one restaurant open, and although I paid for half-board they charge you for your minerals, beers and wine - one should be free min. The one tiny paddling pool is surrounded by smokers, ditto the restaurant, this is not ideal for kids. No other pool for free. It has one indoor paid pool, its £15 for each adult, £12 for each kid, for one hour, its tiny! Food was average, lacked taste, boring, we ate out, much better food locally. You need a car, it's a long way out

The resort is perfect for families. The staff are so helpful. I’m vegetarian and asked for an alternative on ‘seafood’ night and within minutes the chef had made me an individual dinner. Highly recommended.

Fair
The good, we were placed in Polynesia hotel, very clean, modern and plenty of sun beds. Staff excellent and very accommodating. Lots of facilities and the beach club was great. The not so good, most sun beds were not useable, old and worn. Food average, evening adult entertainment not worth staying for and some of the amenities, disco and a la carte restaurant closed but we weren’t informed if this. Asked for late check out 2pm instead of 12 and charged 48 euro, even though the hotel was probably half full.

Good experience but won’t be coming back
I will start with the disadvantages, I have paid for all inclusive expecting everything included, guess what not at all you cannot even get a small bottle of water you have to fill it up in a cup and also not even a cup of coffee my husband had to get the cheapest coffee from the automatic coffee machine that tastes rubbish but to get a proper machine coffee he had to pay €2.50 per cup of coffee. The food wasn’t too bad but definitely wasn’t much selection of food to choose from. The rooms are out dated for the amount we’ve paid. The entertainment wasn’t bad at least my kids had fun, we barely used Riwo pool as it was not much to do. Every morning we got a shuttle to the holiday world pools it was fantastic there kids had a blast. Lastly my husband accidentally left his two tshirt Iv called the reception twice I found them busy and I left them a message guess what no reply. Overall I think this place need more improvement.

what I booked
Not what I booked . I booked a junior suite but was put in a standard room in holiday village . Junior suites are in the Polynesian hotel . Not allowed to change , not allowed to upgrade even if I paid more , what I got was a allocation on arrival holiday in holiday world this was made very clear by the staff in holiday village !, The costs also match the Polynesian hotel not the cheaper holiday village !! Completely unable to contact Hotels.com got a customer service email address which was a waste of time as it’s not monitored. Holiday village was a decent enough hotel clean , reasonable food and drink , decent room but I was expecting sun beds on the patio and good views and got four chairs and a view of the local train line ! I use Hotels.com regularly but very disappointed with this arrangement.
