The experience was brilliant. The hotel was only a short journey from the airport, even with the various stops that a shuttle service makes. They have great facilities, for all ages, including Table tennis; 3x pool tables; dart board; 3x large swimming pools; 1x children's pool (very close to the poolside bar for snacks etc); the 2 pools used to accommodate the water slides and a small kids club. The alcoholic drinks during the daytime hours are restricted to draught beer & wine (Red, White & Rose), unfortunately. These are self serve. After 5pm you can then head to the main bar for cocktails and spirits. The staff made our stay incredibly enjoyable. The Manager is extremely polite and welcoming and will be there to greet you at every meal. Mike, the main entertainer, is extremely good at his job, he includes everyone of all ages in his acts & is, overall, a completely top-man. He, single-handedly made my holiday far better than it qould have been, had he not been there. The bar staff are easy to converse with, speak many languages and, again, are very polite. The on-resort spa is run by Mike's partner and is a HUGE recommendation, of mine. The massages on offer vary from foot and leg through to full body. The 1 one thing to keep in mind: always pay for the longer session, you'll regret it if you don't. I thought a 25-30 min back massage would be plenty, I came out faced with instant regret I didn't buy the extended time Good food for an all exclusive resort. As you can imagine, its not Michelin star quality but there's a decent and varied selection. The poolside food bar has chips, fish fingers, hot dog style sausages and beef burgers (the burgers are lovely). Self-serve scooped ice cream also starts here at 2pm. The rooms were nice and well looked after. Air-con, unlike many other places, is free to use. We had a pool terraced, family room. Which was fantastic, as you walked out your front door and were right in front of the pool. There's absolutely none of the "6.30am/7am rush" for sunbeds, there's always a few available if you are a bit late to the pool area. On site shop is a very convenient feature, they have. They sell all sorts including cigarettes here, which vary in price, but are around €5 on average. I've probably missed so many more positive things that I could say about Golden Odyssey but, overall, I'd certainly consider coming back here. The negative bits (bear in mind, many of these aren't the hotels fault): . Relatively loud cricket sounding insects/creatures in the trees during daytime hours (you block it out after a while). . ANTS - As you can imagine, hot country, loads of sticky drinks being spilt everywhere. . Mosquitos - MAKE SURE YOU TAKE REPELLANT AND AFTER-BITE . Prices in the on-site shop - OK, so most of it is reasonably fairly priced but be warned, make sure you take sun cream and any (large) floats with you. Bottles of nivea sun cream were being sold for €35+ and large floats for €40+. Otherwise, as
