LION SUNNY BEACH

The hotel is very clean and tidy and well presented We went half board and the food is generally pretty poor Breakfast is greasy and undercooked for our liking although plenty of fruit if you want it We tried multiple times to find something for the evening meal but it was just not very appetising, most of it looked liked mushed up meat of some kind and smelt disgusting We never actually had a full evening meal and had to eat out at the restaurant next to the hotel which was fantastic and great value The vast majority of the staff are miserable and grunt at you. Except the cleaning ladies who are very friendly and a blonde lady on the main desk when we arrived From day one we had no air conditioning in the room and it was unbearable. The manager promised to fix it or he would give us another room. He said this 3 times before we had enough of him telling lies and fobbing us off We contacted our holiday rep who got us moved to a room with working air con The lifts in both buildings broke down regularly while we were there The pools are average and a bit small. Not enough sun loungers which isn’t unusual and a life guard that spends all day on his phone or asleep The location is good with the water park and the beach and main shopping area less than 15mins walk Overall not a great place to stay on a family holiday. A lot better hotels in the area

A catastrophic culinary experience from start to finish. The food was simply disgusting and almost always served cold. Nothing seemed to be kept properly warm in the bain-maries, which is totally unacceptable for a buffet. In the evening, it was constantly the same thing: chicken, pork, then chicken and pork again. No variety, no imagination, and above all, no quality. The vegetables were poorly cooked, sometimes almost raw, without seasoning and without the slightest taste. As for the desserts, they were frankly inedible. A true horror. The included drinks were just as mediocre. No real soda, only a machine dispensing overly sweet industrial drinks: orange, apple, pineapple juice, and peach iced tea. Everything had an artificial and sickening taste. Breakfast did not raise the bar at all: fried eggs, hard-boiled eggs, charred bacon, baked beans, a few vegetables, and tiny, uninteresting croissants. The next day, some pastries looked like chocolate croissants, but were filled with spinach. One more unpleasant surprise. We also had French toast twice, but it was served completely cold. Serving cold French toast in a hotel establishment is shameful and demonstrates a total lack of professionalism. In summary: cold, repetitive, bland food of very poor quality. This buffet is unworthy of an establishment that hosts paying guests. Avoid at all costs.

Just been for 9 nights. Arrived early hours in morning and reception gave us a little snack bag when we checked in which we thought was a lovely gesture and nice way to start the holiday. We got to the room which was also not that bad and the whole place is kept clean but that is pretty much where the good ends. None of the staff other than the barman and the cleaner spoke to you or smiled. The staff in the restaurant never smiled or spoke to us once other than one member of staff who spoke to complain about me filling a 500ml water bottle up bare in mind we were half board so drinks at meal times were included but only from the small glasses they provide. They even then put out a sign to say no filling water bottles up and she spoke to the staff to tell them to make sure i did not fill it up as they watched me as I moved around. The food well I do not even know where to start with the food. Very poor selection so if you are a picky eater definitely do not go. It was pretty much the same every night, there was some form of pork and chicken with veg, chips, pizza and pasta and that's it. Nothing really had any flavour to it. We ate out some nights just to have a decent meal. Drinks included at meal times did not include any fizzy drinks just pure juice and hot drinks in a morning which is fine, then pure juice, beer or wine on a evening. We went out of UK school holiday time yet some of the days we could not get a sun lounger round the pool.
