TL;DR
Recent guest feedback suggests Justiniano Deluxe feels more like a budget five-star resort: strong points are the beach, clean water from the pier, abundant food, and a large water park, while downsides include noise in some room locations, stones at the shoreline, and occasional room cleanliness issues at check-in.
A family with a nearly-4-year-old spent two trouble-free weeks: the child happily ate whatever she wanted at the restaurant and enjoyed the kids' section of the water park; they barely used the main pool, spending most time at the sea instead. They're returning again this year.
Another guest with a water-park-facing (not sea-view) room reports no noise complaints at all, contrasting with earlier reviews about morning noise from trash bins being moved near such rooms.
A late-July guest reports sunbed shortages in peak season — the family barely found one lounger by the pool and one by the sea, so parents take turns swimming while one stays with the child. Despite this, the hotel and grounds are rated positively.
Guests traveling with a toddler mention a large playground near the sea, about 200 meters past the Starbucks — they visited it every evening in addition to swimming in the sea.
Another review (late June) adds: the water park has only 1 slide (though it feels big to young kids), and cartoons are shown in English in the evenings. Sea entry is rocky and gets deep quickly, with waves most of the stay and calm water only a couple of times. Sea is clean early morning and late evening, less so during the day.
A guest with a mountain-view room notes it's fine to sleep with the balcony open, as road noise stops after midnight. Sea cleanliness varies unpredictably — sometimes clear by day and dirty by evening or vice versa, with occasional large debris and plastic. The hotel has occasional short water/electricity outages, resolved same day; shower water pressure is good and plumbing works well.
The newest review describes Justiniano Deluxe as a good-value deal, especially on family promotions: there is plenty of food, the beach is good, and the pier gives direct access to cleaner water. Waves can bring seaweed to the shoreline, and larger stones make beach entry less comfortable, so many guests prefer entering from the pier. The water park is praised, but it reportedly operates for only about 4 hours per day.
An earlier report highlighted a poor check-in experience: guests were assigned a sea-view room, but it was still dirty on arrival, with trash and used towels inside, and they could not check in right away despite arriving in the morning. This suggests room preparation can be inconsistent even for better room categories.
Another room-related review suggests being careful with rooms facing the neighboring water park: they may offer a decent side view and even partial sea views, but mornings can be noisy because trash bins are moved nearby. For couples without children, this may be an important downside.
