This is a great way to travel with kids and adults with different dietary needs. Everyone had a wide choice of food to eat at every meal. Plus there is always something to do. Beautiful beach and well kept grounds. The room was spacious, the bathtub and shower large and full of a lot of hot water. Limited outlets for electronics. Staff very nice and accommodating. Activity leader for kids was a great teacher and so sweet.
