This is a great value for money hotel which is why even though I suggest a couple of improvements I would still give it 5 stars. Check-in: we arrived early so room wasn’t ready. Reception stored our luggage securely and we were able to hire towels so we could enjoy the pool area. Room: very clean & tidy with a decent sized balcony overlooking the pool. For 2 adults & 2 children it could do with a little more storage but we were able to store cases under the bed and on the balcony so no big deal. We had one issue with the shower overflowing which was dealt with within 30mins. We thought that being next to the lift/stairs it would be noisy but we didn’t hear a thing and slept really well. Pool: We loved that the pool didn’t open until 10am so sunbeds couldn’t be reserved at silly O Clock. We always managed to get a sunbed in the sun. We want to mention the man who looked after the pool area, we watched him from our balcony every morning & night thoroughly cleaning the area and putting the sunbeds back in perfect lines, he clearly took pride in his work and made sure the area was super clean, tidy and safe. There is a pool bar serving food, ice creams and lovely cold Amstel beer, which I enjoyed, but the girls serving could do with putting a smile on their faces. The pool area did close for around 2.5 days for essential maintenance and it was noisy to sit on your balcony of a morning. Although it needed to be done it was an inconvenience as we couldn’t get a subbed at the sister hotel on one of the days so ended up having to pay to go into the water park down the road, the next day however, we did get a bed at the sister hotel over the road, and enjoyed the atmosphere over there. A key tip to give families is that they only allow very small inflatables in the pool. The hotel really needs to inform you of this before you travel or on book in as we spent €30 on a doughnut for my little girl and she was really excited, only for the lifeguard to rudely tell her she couldn’t have it. She was very upset & disappointed. Food; the food was really excellent, and the chefs were friendly. You would have to be stupidly fussy not to find something you liked. Loads of variety and something different on the buffet selection every night but always home made pizza, pasta & chips for the not so adventurous. The female staff in the restaurant could be friendlier but I understand their frustration when so many families were wasting food by getting so much more than they could eat, and leaving their tables & floor in such a mess when they left. Breakfast always offered freshly cooked pancakes, fried eggs, omelettes and toasties at the show cooking stations. As well as cooked produce, salad, pastries & continental offerings, it really was a great selection. Bar/entertainment: the entertainment team made it look effortless to include everyone. My daughters loved joining in with the darts & bingo, and the shows in the evenings that we caught looked fun. There are plen
