Went as a couple for one week. Wasn't sure what to expect but holiday surpassed our expectations. Went premium all inclusive and was totally worth it. All drinks were branded and served by the loveliest friendliest people ever had in a hotel. They worked extremely long hours but you was greeted always with a lovely smile and nothing too much of a bother. Cannot remember all names but one stood out, Jose. He worked in pool bar and main bar and was delightful. Entertainment team were totally amazing. Matij, the Czech guy, did all the water events with such energy and vigour was exhausted just watching! You could see on faces of holidaymakers how much they enjoyed. He was also one of the nicest men you could meet, always lovely to chat with. He also did the DJ sequence of an evening on the verandah playing really good music and getting everyone involved. There were four gorgeous Italians, Matteo Bernadette Gaia and Elvis who worked their socks off getting everyone involved. Loved them all. Food in hotel was OK, could have been a lot hotter, especially at breakfast, cold fried eggs and bacon not very appetising. Evening meals were much better, nice selection. Waiters in restaurant very attentive and friendly. Pool bar and restaurant were amazing. Waiter service and extensive menu. Lady supervisor was brilliant, efficient and friendly. Evening entertainment was superb, acts were very professional and once again waited on promptly, thanks to all of them. Reception staff couldn't have been more friendly and helpful, two minor things in room sorted promptly. In all have to say we have been to many hotels around the world but found Valentin to be at top of our list of favourite ones. We have come back from holiday totally happy and refreshed. You honestly could not find a lovelier lot of people who work there any better anywhere. Management must be doing something totally right.

An amazing holiday at this hotel. Food, entertainment and staff excellent. Pool bar/restaurant well worth visiting. Bug thanks to Coralee? the supervisor who was friendly and totally efficient. Although all inclusive was pleasantly surprised that the staff served you at the tables, rather than the need to queue at the bars. Marej excellent at his job providing daily entertainment, water yoga and also popping up as a DJ in the evening. Also thanks to Bennedicter? and the entertainment team who provided fun/games during the day and evenings, including the mini disco/kids club. Evening entertainment included outside acts, singers, acrobats, magicians and all worth watching. Finally big thanks to Tino the penguin for bringing joy to my granddaughter. She loves the fluffy toy character you can purchase from reception.

We spent 1 week at the hotel with our 7 year old daughter in early June. The staff make this hotel - they are always friendly, smiling and polite. They really go above and beyond and you feel so welcome. The food is delicious and a lot of choice with themed nights. Special mention to the chocolate brownies - wow! The pool is beautiful and even when it is busy it doesn’t feel overcrowded. The entertainment is good and there is generally a lovely, safe and friendly atmosphere in this hotel. It is exceptionally clean. The shower is powerful and lots of fresh, clean towels. We booked an apartment which was generally quiet at tonight. I imagine the main buildings near the bar may be noisier if you have children or like early nights. The beach bus down to Son Bou and up again is wonderful as it is a steep hill and not for those with mobility issues. Son Bou is sadly a bit run down as a town (some of it seemed closed) but the beach itself is lovely and clean. My daughter didn’t use the kids club as she was shy so we can’t comment on that but she liked the mini disco with Tino the penguin! Some suggestions would be - the rooms are a bit dated which isn’t really a problem but the drawers smell musty and are quite dangerous as they fall out easily and are heavy if they land on your foot. There needs to be more hangers for the wardrobes. The food is mostly really nice but we personally found the sausages at breakfast not to the ‘English’ tastes and the coffee machine coffee is sometimes not the best. It would be good to have some coffee served with dessert at the evening meal too. On rainy days it would be helpful if they could provide a bit more to do - for example just showing a family film in the bar area may work, have a games and book area or even playing some music in the bar area when it is bad weather to give the hotel some more atmosphere on full days. If the pool activities aren’t running could they be adapted to be indoors? Thank you for such a lovely stay - we loved it and would definitely return!
