The hotel itself is getting on in years. We found many items of equipment worn out and outdated.
The service tried hard, but somehow always too slow. Actually, we always waited for one of the waiters to drop some item of cutlery while clearing away, which then happened every minute.
The food is typical of the country and not of a quality that is worth mentioning.
The pool area is spacious and beautifully designed.

We still find three things important:

1. The beach is not accessible for people with disabilities, because very steep stairs have to be climbed.

2. The all-inclusive system distinguishes between three different types.
Family = access only to the family area = blue ribbon (adult area blocked)
Gray band = something in between between family and
Black ribbon = staying in all areas is permitted and everyone, including imported beverages, is free.
We found this distinction not very transparent, especially since we had no other chance when booking online via TUI than booking the family variant.
So be sure to note this when booking!

3. There is only one supermarket in the vicinity of the hotel.
A taxi ride to Playa Jandia costs 20 there and back and is worthwhile as a day trip. Market Mon and Thu (African market) with a wide range of leather goods.
