Good kids club however, with the great weather, pools and friends to make our daughter didn’t really use it! Made some friends on the first day and played around the pool, arcade and sports facilities after that.

Service and Staff

5 out of 5
Staff are amazing they literally cannot do enough for you. Lots of different backgrounds and origins all will tales to tell. But all so so friendly and helpful they are brilliant. Special thanks to Harideth, Li Qien & Sajiv for making our holiday special.
