8/10 Very Good! (52 reviews)

Nice hotel with a reasonable choice of food. But hotel mostly full of noisey French people. Entertainment at nightwa oo but would be very monotonous for more than a week! Daytiime entertainmnt (poolside games and archery etc) were catered for the French and other nationalities only invited if there was a poor response from the French! Beautiful beach but constantly has a red flag so forget about swimming, currents extremely dangerous. The island is devoid of any scenary, attractions or wildlife. We have travelled extensively all over the world over the years and this is the only holiday where we were glad to leave. There are no trips eecuuetterr iis nothing to see or do on the island. This is holiday for someone who wants to spend their time only on a sunbed drinking alcohol!! Oh by the way you have to be up at 06.30am to put said towel on a sunbed!! By 07.00am all sunbeds are reserved, the French are early risers.
