We had a great stay at the Pilot Beach Resort. We had a family room, which was very spacious and had a separate kids room. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The beach was just wonderful and easy to reach and I really appreciated that there was a life guard , since some days there were quite some waves (in the fun way). There were always enough sun chairs both at the pool and the beach! A total recommendation if you look for a family vacation!

We have been here for about a week now and can only report positive things. The staff is fantastic!!! and the food is excellent.
It's a bit of a shame that the all-you-can-eat nature of the restaurant means that the cuisine is somewhat underappreciated. Because a lot of it is really well made and above average!
Everything is clean. Minor renovations are needed (for example, the indoor pool), but in general everything is still usable and good value for money.
Fortunately, the mini disco is a bit away from the main restaurant and, although we are here with a small child, we really appreciated having a room far away from the hustle and bustle of the kids' pool and mini disco.
Rumour has it that they want to move the kids' area to the edge of the resort, which we think is a good idea.
we recommend taking a taxi instead of renting a car for daytrips within 1hr distance.

I like this place.
It’s simple - with a nice beach, basic pools for swimming and a reasonable children’s club. You can get a bed by the pool or on the beach pretty easily but the beach pool was typically packed early on so we avoided it.
It’s no frills though so it your used of lots of stuff to do and water slides etc then you’ll be disappointed. My kids (5, 10 and 13) kept themselves occupied in the pools just messing around with floats or in the sea with snorkels.
Food is excellent in quality but snacks are not really available (you can’t just up grab a slice of pizza or a sandwich if you don’t fancy a full-on sit down) and there isn’t really any snack stations.
Drinks are available but it’s a bit of a pain, you have to go actively find a drink, go to the bar and physically ask with no service really coming to you during the day.
Entertainment was good, they did their best, it was ok for us. Only issue is if starts late -9pm. And kids were tired.
AI is via a card and some things are in and some thinks are not so this was really annoying. I ordered a children’s cocktail and they told me I couldn’t have without paying 8euros for it, there were a few things like this throughout the holiday that just slightly irritated given the money we spent on the trip.
People were nice and friendly aside from some rude bar staff on one occasion - I think they were hot, fed up of being asked the same questions, or needed a break!
All in all it’s nice, good quality hotel but diddnt have the luxurious feel that you can experience if you find a gem. 4Star , but not 5 IMO

Went in late May and was a superb location for a family holiday. Lots to do in the resort and lots accessible by hire car around the island to explore.
Food is perfect for a family, lots of choice and all very tasty. The place is well maintained and our room was excellent. We had a double with a split sofa bed for our two boys (7/11). Atmosphere is great, friendly and helpful staff, pools (all 5 of them!) are varied and never too busy.

Really enjoyed our holiday here last week. The staff were very friendly, especially Adriana, Sebastian & Geronimo who made us feel really welcome. It was a pleasure chatting to them while we received excellent service from them. Rooms were clean and tidy. Food was great with lots of choice. Would recommend to anyone.
