Excellent resort to take the children. The obvious attraction being the aqua park the hotel provides which is big enough and fun. Also the proximity to the beach from the hotel was a bonus. An enjoyable experience all round. Food was great too and of a high standard.

DANIEL

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
El personal ha sido bastante desagradable. Deben entender que si pago un “todo incluído” es porque mis niños y yo pretendemos consumir . Daba la impresión que cada vez que íbamos a una barra molestábamos. Se paga un incremento importante por el “todo incluido” para que te hagan sentir poco menos que un indigente, y te lo sirvan con una desgana y un desprecio que no lo he visto en mi vida. Tampoco ha habido animación para los niños ni en la piscina ni por las noches. Después de varios años puedo afirmar sin equivocarme que no vuelvo a pisar ese hotel.

It was very noisy. Because of the hotels design, the noise from the lounge/resteraunt area travels up into the hallways and rooms. For those of us that like to go to bed before 10pm, it is very hard to get to sleep.

Excelente para familias con niños.

La experiencia en familia ha ido genial. Cerca de la playa, a 10 minutos a pie y frente a un centro comercial. El personal, de 10. Muy amables. Las instalaciones muy buenas, aunque quizá necesitaría una pequeña renovación. El buffet del desayuno, genial. El de la cena, muy bueno, aunque echaba de menos más variedad de comidas para los niños. El miniclub, excelente, un personal muy atento con los niños y niñas. La cama de la habitación, es el unico defecto que veo...es muy dura...
