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.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel, enjoying the cleanliness and the variety of food options available. The amenities, especially the pools and children's areas, were fantastic and kept us entertained. However, the dining area can get quite noisy during peak times, and the drinks could use some improvement. Overall, it was a good family holiday with some room for enhancement.

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.

The food quality was surprisingly good for an all-inclusive, although the dining area could feel a bit crowded at peak times. The pools were refreshing, but just a little cold for my taste. Overall, this place offers great value for families looking to enjoy some fun and relaxation together.

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

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
