Im sorry, but I really had to write a review after seeing all the bad ones! I went for a week with 8 girls as a cheap get away, and it was fantastic, ok, given the rooms aren't exactly the Ritz, but come on ?250 all inclusive... what do you expect? If you are worried about getting a sunbed... get off ur a** and get up early and get one! Dont like the queues? Go to dinner earlier... I must admit it is not for people older than the 30 mark (unless its a Stag/Hen holiday). I would reccomend this and I dont put my faith in places to my frineds and family unless I am 100% sure its ok. Go for it, book it, go and have FUN!!! ;)

My friend and I were slightly worried by the bad reviews, so went expecting the worse from our holiday, but we certainly didn't think it as bad as some people have said.
Food - this was typical buffet style catering, but I really disagree that there was limited choice, with at least three types of meat dishes, a fish dish and everything on the salad section was lovely and fresh. I think perhaps people were after burgers and pizza every night maybe? Shame there were chips every night tho! The dessert selection was vast - lots of fresh fruit, yoghurt, icecream, sorbet, jelly, and always about 6 or 7 other cakes and puddings.
Drinks - pretty straightforward, all your local/knock off versions of the usual spirits. As one person can get four drinks at a time, get imaginative and make your own cocktails (the hotel's 'cocktail of the day' was usually neon in colour and about 90% sugar).
Clientele - there was a large group of German students who were well behaved and kept themselves to themselves. In all honesty the worst behaved guests were those from the UK, swearing, shouting, arguing, moaning and complaining all day and night. Some of the behaviour was a real embarrassment and it's no wonder that Brits get such a bad reputation abroad.
However, the point is, there's always some unsavoury characters wherever you go on holiday and you can't pick and choose who will be staying with you.
Although there was some entertainment for children, this is more of a hotel for stag/hens/18-30s up for a good time and I wouldn't recommend it to children simply because of the air being blue with profanities most of the time (although to be honest, some of these were from parents with their own kids in earshot).
Staff - we found the staff really friendly and helpful, possibly because we were friendly and polite to them maybe?
Location - bang in the middle of everything.
Transfer - avoid using Resorthoppa, they were impossible to get hold of, unhelpful and it took around an hour and a half on the way there. A taxi costs around 45-48 Euro and only takes 30 minutes.
Nightlife - all sorts to choose from, but we really liked the Queen Vic and Rockefellers.
Excursions - ok, we didn't wake up in time to go on any, but rather than pay around 30 Euro to go to Barcelona, you can get cheap tickets from the Bus Station next to the hotel and either go direct, or to Blanes and get the train from there, both of which are under 20 Euros return.
All in all, it really wasn't that bad, we both had a great time and met some nice people. So much so I'm thinking of going back in September.

I READ LOTS OF REVIEWS BEFORE I WENT AND WAS PETRIFIED!! But it really was no where near as bad as i expected so don't believe all the reviews you read!
i went for a week long stay with my boyfriend. got cheap deal on net and was pleased with whole experience.
yes the walls are very thin and you don't get a lot of sleep cos of noise!!
we were full board and found the food ok! always pasta and chips availiable and salad but different dishes every night, lots of choice for dessert and fruit can't complain!!
we stayed there during euro 2008 whrn germans got to final so was quite a bit of noise but other than that no probs at all with hotel. other guests friendly, all staff friendly, cleaners really good and did shut balcony doors after cleaning!!!
weather was really good, nightlife brilliant, lots of pubs etc, queen vic pub def one to try!!
overall i really enjoyed it and would and prob will book to go again for girly hol later in year
