This place is great! It’s all wheelchair accessible but some of the pathways to some of the rooms are fairly steep and could pose difficulties in pushing. As for the ants, yeah there’s a few knocking about but nothing to get worried about, I’d see the odd one in the room but theirs lots of nice gardens around the rooms so I can understand this. The staff were all super. Never had one issue at all with any of them. In fact they went above and beyond. The selection of drinks was good as was the food, lots to choose from plus their were more simple foods for the kids. Snacks and ice cream in the afternoon too! The pools were spot on, they had water sports in the main pool hosted by the hotel reps, plus the top pool with the slides was awesome which also has a lifeguard who was always on the ball! The hotel was a 15 minute walk to the main town area, the hotel offered a free coach there and back every hour which we used a few times to check out the local shops. The hotel does have its own shop buts it’s a bit expensive so best to nip into the town. The entertainment was good. They had shows each night plus the kids club all which was in the theatre. They had arcade machines, a gym and a yoga room. Overall I was a bit apprehensive about the place after reading some of the reviews as they’re very mixed but I would recommend it to anyone wanting a decent holiday. It’s a well kept tidy hotel.
