Review of Valentin hotels

If I could give 0 stars I would. There was a DROWNING. I found a man about 50ft out who had been in the water for who knows how long. A couple bystanders and I pulled him in and there were NO LIFEGUARDS on the beach. Someone had to run off beach to get one!! The yellow "Caution" flags were up, nobody on the beach went to get a Lifeguard at first, I had to have a friend run to get one because people just stood there and watched me pull him in. Staff/Lifeguards were down a path not anywhere near the water. We pulled him in and did CPR on the man for almost 7 minutes before any Lifeguards showed up on the beach! There were usually 2 or 3 in the tower at all times on the days before, and there were NONE. The poor man didn't make it. I don't understand how SAFETY can be so overlooked. Especially at such a beautiful well maintained resort. Staff and Medics didn't stick around to ask for statements afterwards, so a couple of us gave statements to the Manager upon check-out but there's no way they would tell the poor mans wife what happened. She deserves to know. There were NO LIFEGUARDS on the beach. Regardless of what happened in the water, whether this could have been preventable or not, it is completely unacceptable for there to be NO help or anyone watching swimmers. How are tourists supposed to feel safe knowing that their safety is at risk? Very beautiful resort for my first trip, but I do NOT recommend anyone to go now that we know they overlook safety so easily!
