Ella Rocrita, All-Inclusive Resort

Ella Rocrita, All-Inclusive Resort

8/10 Good
"The resort is lovely although a little remote, we felt for a weeks trip we really had to hire a car. Some things promoted do not exist, such as hiking trails around the resort or biking- there are no bikes available. None of the pools are heated, so in October they are cold and very few people ventured in. The ninja course was excellent, but very little for teenagers to do apart from this. We booked the padel court, but that is one booking a day and has to be done from reception. Fitness classes were good, but difficult to get bookings for - they filled up quickly. The staff were mainly from the Philippines, worked really hard and were great with the children. The food is good and all booked via the app, it is just a shame in a 7 night stay you only get to go to 3 of the 4 Ć  la carte restaurants. The bar staff and drinks were really good, with great choices of cocktails and wines. The room was lovely, and kept beautifully clean. Overall a good hotel at the price paid, so happy."
