We had a decent family holiday, enjoying the water park and daily entertainment. The food was good with plenty of options, but the room quality was a letdown, only deserving of a lower rating. While we appreciated the activities available for kids, the overall experience didn't fully meet our expectations, especially given the price we paid.

Our stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The rooms were well-maintained and modern, and the cleanliness of the entire resort was impressive. We enjoyed the diverse dining options, particularly at breakfast. However, we found some aspects, like the service at the spa, lacking, which impacted our overall experience. Also, while the entertainment was fun, it felt a bit too centered on kids and not very engaging for adults.

7.8/10

Overall, we had a lovely family holiday. The hotel offered a fantastic variety of food, and the entertainment kept us all engaged. Although we experienced some hiccups with check-in and a few staff interactions, the pools and entertainment facilities were a highlight, especially for the kids. An upgrade to a better room made a significant difference in our enjoyment, so I highly recommend that for families. The beach was just a short walk away, adding to the experience.

Rooms

9.0

After upgrading to a family suite, our space was bright, modern, and spacious with a lovely pool view. However, it would be helpful if they added a drying line for swimwear.

Service

7.0

While most staff were friendly and accommodating, we did face some issues with communication and a couple of abrupt interactions. Overall, they worked hard to provide activities and helped manage the demands of guests well.

Location

The location was quite convenient for beach access, just a five-minute walk away, which we appreciated. Nearby bars along the beach were a nice touch, but the surrounding area could feel a bit rough.

Dining

The dining experience was generally enjoyable with a wide variety of options available each night. However, breakfast could be chaotic during peak times, and there were some inconsistencies in food quality.

Facilities

8.0

The pools and water slides were fantastic for the kids, and there were plenty of snacks available. The entertainment facilities for families were a real bonus. However, the drinks quality could be improved.
