It's a recently renovated medium-class hotel. As I saw, it's popular mainly with guests on all-inclusive plan. However if you don't want to spend all your time within the hotel but to take some excursions as we did, it's better to book BB or half board. The meals are plentiful and of a wide range. The pools and the garden are quite nice, the beach is O.K. (not as clean as on the South Coast), having pretty big difference between low and high tide so some parts of the day it's hard to swim.
The beach is full of vendors, tour agents and masseuses so be patient and take it easy. Always bargain heavily when buying any products or services, you can reach pretty good prices.
The hotel has a show every night (the usual staff) and a "light" disco (finishing at 11) so if you want to dance the night away, you should take a taxi to a public discotheque (the best one around is called Tembo) but if you do so, be prepared to meet a lot of "single" girls :-)
Unique Qualities: Good value for money.
Good restaurant.
