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.

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...

Recomendable para niños

A destacar el buffet con muchísima variedad y la amabilidad del personal . El servicio del mini bus, aunque la playa está a 10 minutos , todo un acierto si vas cargado y Juan el conductor un encanto .. Como nota negativa señalaría que las instalaciones son muy básicas, quizás de un hotel de menor categoría y que al ser un hotel donde hay muchísimos niños es muy muy ruidoso y la animación es básicamente para ellos.
