“Fabulous family holiday”

Family of 5, booked through On the Beach.. allocated to ‘Garden’ upon arrival. We stayed last year in ‘Suites’ and both were identical family rooms.

Family of 5, booked through On the Beach.. allocated to ‘Garden’ upon arrival. We stayed last year in ‘Suites’ and both were identical family rooms. Plenty of space for us, a dividing door/curtain should you wish to use this. I must admit, I really struggle with all the bad reviews in this place. Our children (and us) have had a fabulous holiday yet again. Food - we have fussy kids and could always find something. Food is mainly fish based so if that’s your thing, great! It’s like any other all inclusive you will have experienced. We upgraded to the Gold All inclusive which was great, enjoying the premium brands and cocktails. Much nicer than the pre mixed drinks on silver. You can also use the gym unlimited and the pool at the spa should you wish. Sunbeds - plenty of them so do not get up early. If you want to buy inflatables for your little people the supermarket up the road sells them for a fraction of the price compared to the shop attached to the hotel. It’s less than a 5minute walk. Entertainment: We really enjoyed the shows put on every night and our kids loved the mini disco. No complaints from us. Negatives: * This hotel has large groups of kids for sporting events stay for a a few nights. They completely take over, very boisterous around other children, will help themselves to any floats/inflatables you might have bought. They will also queue jump on the slides etc. They are did not appear respectful to others which was a great shame. When I say large groups, there are hundreds of them!! * I personally wouldn’t trust the mini-club without your supervision. Our children wanted to go due to us having 3 days of pure rain but we found that they would be heading back towards us in the seating area before we collected them!! When I challenged this I was told that they wanted to leave !!?!! Very unsafe in my opinion, especially with swimming pools in close proximity. * Compared to last year - One of the snack bars wasn’t open along with the van that served milkshakes and frozen coffees. Also you can’t get fizzy drinks yourself which is slightly annoying as you have to queue for these and sometimes the queues are long. Last year there were foam parties for the kids on the terrace along with activities in the evening such as bucking bronco and slides. We didn’t see any of that this time, I’m not sure if this is a cut back or whether we are slightly early in the summer season. That’s all from us. Absolutely amazing holiday, our kids will always remember the memories made. Enjoy!!

“Great experience”

Was here on a dancefestival and had a great experience. The location was good, walking distance to the beach and the food was alright.

“Average”

Friendly customer service, but beyond that very average. I enjoyed my stay but what puzzles me is the child's disco that ran from about 9pm to midnight every night. It's outside and was 20 ft from my room. Made it impossible to sleep. The food was very bland but it's a decent walk into town or a ch… more

Friendly customer service, but beyond that very average. I enjoyed my stay but what puzzles me is the child's disco that ran from about 9pm to midnight every night. It's outside and was 20 ft from my room. Made it impossible to sleep. The food was very bland but it's a decent walk into town or a cheap taxi ride away to get decent food.
