Nice place, good location, very clean. Only issue are the 2 gates after dark, all gates are locked and sometimes when you buzz - no staff answers. There is no walk in access except via one of the two gates. Wifi in our room was not good but we barely spent any time there except sleeping.

I returned to the Saracen for the second time with my family. I strongly recommend for family with kids, great fun with the animator team both on the beach with music, exercises and in the evening with dancs and entertainment. The food was different and lots of variety however often it was not very warm and not much fresh fruits in the morning.
