Place worked for us as we were there with friends and their families too (we had 5 kids under 10 in total) The restaurant and bar food was good plentiful. Reasonable pricing. The pizza place was fine and worked for the kids. Staff were super helpful. The place was busy every day we were (9 days) there and had what seemed like school groups and sports teams staying. Worked well for us but might not be for everyone. Loved being close to the airport and there were good buses into town nearby (we also had a car). All in all, would totally stay again. Highlight were the pools which always seemed to have space, the staff and the renovated rooms (some parts of the resort could use a spruce up but was all cosmetic). Totes worth it. Ta for a grand wee break :)

Very Noisy

This is a huge resort, full of families with kids. It's really noisy from 7 am to 7pm so if you want quiet and relaxing this isn't the place to stay! 2 restaurants, the Italian Pizza place was average, The other was the Cafe and the food was average and very slow to come out. We won't be staying here agan.

Good for families, not for couples

The resort is full of families, kids running riot while parents sit in the cafe. Screaming at the playground starts at 7am and goes through to 7pm. I don't recommend this place if you want a couples weekend away relaxing.
