We’ve just got back from a fantastic family holiday at the Magic Natura. If you’ve got primary aged kids this resort is absolutely perfect - all you can eat and drink, multiple pools, plus a zoo and water park attached and included! The food was good and there was something for everyone each mealtime. We all enjoyed it, and although cooked breakfasts on the continent aren’t what they are at home, there was still lots of stuff to choose from. Dinner was always the best meal, and if you visit the waterpark lunch is included there too. The waterpark is amazing, the kids had the best time and went on all the slides. Our littlest was slightly too small as lots of the bigger ones have height restrictions of 1.2m, so be aware of that, although there are multiple themed pools and some smaller (but still fun!) slides for littler ones to enjoy. The all inclusive food and drink extends to the waterpark so that was all taken care of, and we spent several days here as there’s so much to do. To get to the waterpark you can walk through the zoo, and I’m usually worried about this abroad as not all zoos have the animals best interests at heart. The welfare standards here were pretty good on the whole though, and I was pleasantly surprised. The bird of prey show is great, and on twice a day, so be sure to catch that when you visit. Our room was lovely, and kept super clean by the attendants each day, and the kids loved the bunk beds in their own little room. We didn’t realise that one of the kids beds was actually the sofa but that was an oversight on our part and our son said it was very comfy anyway. As other people have mentioned the walls are quite thin, think caravan walls, but the lodges do look lovely. We stayed in the Bali lodges right near the entrance, which was the perfect location for accessing everything and wasn’t too hilly. The pools in the hotel are a little colder than those in the water park, but it’s a summer holiday and once you get in you soon adjust! They all have bars nearby too so you can always grab drinks and snacks, everything is super easy which is very welcome with a family in tow. The evening entertainment can get a bit samey, although the kids loved the kids disco every night. We didn’t have to wait ages in the queues for the bar and the drinks are good, they’ll add as big a measure as you like! We used the free bus to visit Benidorm during our stay too, and the beaches were heaving. It’s worth visiting but the resort it nicer so after that we stayed there. I would 100% recommend the Magic Natura to anyone with kids, we had the best time and will definitely be back! Ignore the bad reviews, we’re usually quite picky and I once cried at how bad a hotel we visited was.. but the Magic Natura is fabulous!
