We stayed here for 3 x nights following a Marella cruise. We were concerned before we arrived as I read in the reviews on this site that building work was being carried out. I contacted the hotel at the end of June to query the building work, and they said it would be completed 'any day now'. Then, 8 days before arrival, Tui contacted us to confirm building work but could not offer an alternative. We contacted the hotel and they said the work would be completed on the 24 of July, we were due to arrive on the 27th. We arrived at the hotel and I unfortunately had booked to stay in the Villa's, which was the same price as the hotel. The Villa had building materials outside and our view from the balcony was of discarded doors, building materials, and a crane! Apparently, the building work had started in 2019 and by the rate of their progress will probably be finished in 2029. The building work Tui actually notified us about was the pool bar. There were people 'working' there during our stay and I'm guessing they get paid by the hour. Work will probably finish by September! I found the hotel staff rude and surly, the 3 staff who worked on bar/ice creams etc barely looked up from their phones long enough to tell you where to put your dirty towels. It's a shame as there are glimpses of what the hotel could be. The pool is lovely and there were always plenty of sunloungers, but it's as if they've given up. The hotel is in a good location for the small pebbly beach, restaurants and bars.
