Arrived here very late (2am) as our flight was delayed. Walked into a beautiful reception area, very clean and bright. Man at reception was very helpful. Told us about booking slots for our meals. Our room was on the 6th floor. It was perfect. We could look out and see portaventura in the distance and we even got to see the fireworks from our balcony in the night time. Food was grand. The sausages and rashers were nothing like our Irish ones so we didn't like those at breakfast. Eggs, beans, cereals, ham and cheeses, churros and pancakes, pastries and lots of fresh fruits at breakfast. Snacks at pool bar were lovely. Sandwiches (that can be toasted) burgers, chips, wedges, icecreams, salads, fruits etc. we had lunch in the restaurant a few times, this didn't need to be booked in advance. I don't think a lot of people knew that the restaurant was open at lunch as it was always way quieter at lunch time. Dinner was fine for us. We had mussels, seafood paella, steak, roast beef, pork, lamb, chicken curry, chicken hotpot, calamari, salmon, lasagne, cottage pie as well as the usual burgers and chips, chicken nuggets and rice. A range of different desserts as well although the chocolate fountain was a big hit with us!! Lots and lots of choices over our week stay. The pool was fab! Lots of pool noodles for all, lots of loungers, we always found 4 loungers together. We really enjoyed the entertainment. Our 7 year old made some lovely friends and they enjoyed the mini disco in the evenings. Our son (13) played soccer on the grass area with lots of boys and ping pong, they loved it. They were games everyday by the pool darts, archery, water polo etc. some of the night entertainment included a fluro party, where the children got flourescent tattoo's and had an inflatable disco party. We had a magician, Mongolian acrobats, bingo, and a body balance act. We were very impressed. The drinks were fab too. Lots of cocktails, the rum was good, the whiskey was good too. We got the free shuttle to the waterpark which picked us up outside the hotel. The hotel is situated right beside Jaime 1, and only a 5 minute walk to the beach and near shops etc. great location. All in all what a great place to stay. The only thing I found to let it down was the lack of bartenders in the bar during the day. You could be waiting a while for your drinks. And also the wait for the elevators. Everything else I could not fault. Would definitely come back here again
