After seeing all the wonderful reviews about the pool bar, we decided to spend the end of our holiday whilst waiting for airport check-in at this bar. I had previously emailed the hotel to ask if we could sit by the pool maybe use the pool and have some thing to eat for a couple of hours before our check-in at the airport opened. I received a lovely email back saying they would be delighted for us to come and use the pool bar. So we did. We were picked up as promised by the shuttle, which was really the reason why this rating had a 2 not a 0. The kuoni rep also arranged for us to have a shuttle back to the airport at 8:30 pm. The shuttle is great, and we were advised by the kuoni rep that it is a little bit too far to walk in the heat . On arrival, we were warmed welcomely by the lovely man on reception. From reception down a corridor to the pool bar is literally a 20 sec walk (just pointing this out now because it becomes obviously later why I have said this). We got to the pool got ourselves a couple of beds and just walked to the bar which is at the end of the pool. We ordered a drink. I’m quite a bubbly character so I made a joke with the barman that the reviews were excellent about him so we felt like we could not possibly come and experience it. He looked at me deadpan . We got our drinks and went to a table by the pool to have our food. Food was good not brilliant, but can’t complain. I don’t wanna bore you with all the details but it was one of the most uncomfortable lunches I’ve ever had. The little grey cat that’s been mentioned by another reviewer came to us really skinny and scratching at my leg for food. I am an animal lover admittedly so there was no way I wasn’t going to give this little kitty some of my daughter’s chicken burger. The cat was lovely not a pest but following this we were treated like absolute vermin. The bar staff kept looking over to us and obviously talking about it. My daughter felt like she was being stared at constantly we decided to try and ignore it and got up to go back to our sunbed. We were quickly intercepted and told that we could not sit on the sunbed. I asked why not and was told we do not have a pool package. I explained that we were told that we could just sit by the pool. There was no way they were going to let us sit on one of the 90% unoccupied sunbeds. . We were pretty tired as we had left our island at 3 o’clock and it was now coming up to 6 o’clock with another three hours to go before check-in. I took a photo of the lovely view from where we were sitting whilst eating you can see the sun beds are literally a stones throw away. We noticed that the champs bar seating looked more comfy so I asked if we could move to the bar. I was given a very stony face answer of yes as we walked away with our drinks we were completely stared out. We sat in the champ bar for about an hour and a half. There is absolutely nothing great about this bar although it was comfy with a nice view there are a lot of
