Review as Family Travelling with Two young children (3 and 5 years) This is a fabulous hotel. I don’t think it particularly advertises itself as child friendly hotel, per se, and indeed most of the clientele out of season, are older, as to be expected. But I felt it important to explain why this is a perfect choice of hotel for anyone with young children. 1) the rooms have two double beds - perhaps not a major thing for others but if, like us, you start the night in one bed and always end up separated with a child apiece, then both having a comfortable sized bed is a must. No one draws the short straw then as to who will have to sleep on a pull out bed! 2) indoor swimming pool - is huge, well heated and clean. Really important if coming with little ones as really, unless you’re travelling in the high season, most pools are too cold. Having the covered swimming pool meant it didn’t matter what the weather was doing (although it was glorious when we went) we could always take the kids swimming. Major advantage. I think it’s worth noting there are actually two indoor swimming pools, I think this was a little confusing having read the reviews. One is in the spa which you have to pay for. We didn’t use this. There is also an entirely separate indoor heated pool which is free to use for all guests and children can use it the entire time it is open, without restriction. 3) lovely outdoor play area with slides and climbing frames - clean, well maintained and well equipped. Also children’s splash pool. A little chilly for us but plenty of children still in there in November. The water isn’t unbearable and it’s nice and clean and well maintained with fun slides etc. There were also lots of lovely Bali beds dotted around which we found to be readily available, in shade or sun, perfect for an afternoon snooze with the kids. 4) there is a kids club which is mostly run by a really nice young guy (didn’t catch his name but he was lovely). He really made an effort with all the children which was lovely. This has a soft play inside (not huge) but certainly enough for a few hours of fun in the morning. There are also crafts and things laid out for the children to do which was great. I think in low season this is open from 10.30 to 12.30 every day. I think it is an option to leave the kids there but we didn’t and didn’t see any others doing it either. All parents accompanied their children here. Might be different in high season. 5) location - right out the back of the hotel is a gate and you are then on to the main promenade and after that onto the beach, this was just perfect for us. It means no issues with managing the buggy as all flat to walk (once down set of steps from the gate) or because such a short distance had the option to leave the buggies behind as easy walking distance for little legs. Beach is lovely and has nice soft sand. In easy walking distance to the marina as well. 6) lots to do in the area for children and lots
