Travel operator: first choice
On the whole the first choice reps were totally different to ones we experienced in may in tunisia.These ones werent so friendly,didnt go out of their way to say hello or talk.Hubby says it may be because its the end of the season and theyve had enough! still.....
We read many reviews before booking the holiday.We were aware of the 10-15 min walk to the restaurants and bars.We were not aware of how quiet the resort would be.Like i said its the end of season and everything is slowly shutting up including the one tobacconist in c'alan forcat,which we luckily found on the day it shut..until next may!!!
Reception staff were friendly and helpful with anything i enquired about.
The room was cleaned to a mild standard almost every other day.On one occasion i did feel the need to strip all beds and throw linen on balcony to ensure a full change.Im not a snob, its just that the flies are rediculous.Our apartment was full of them every day.to the extent they would stop me from sleeping properly!
The best entertainment i saw was the robbie williams
tribute act.The rest was lame.I did ask my hubby if we were missing something? most other people seemed to enjoy it.It just wasnt me...
My six year old enjoyed the pools and splash park,but chose not to go to the kids clubs.
I wouldnt go back here..unless it was really special..we always say theres many other place sto try!

we chose this location because of the hype of how wonderful it is for children.
No body advised us that the shops close between 2-5pm, if it rains (which it did) there is no entertainment (which is all outside), therfore the only things for the kids to do is sit in a small hut like building and do drawing, (thats if they are over toddler age!)
the app was very basic but clean and in a nice enough location.
the food is not very nice on site, the pizzeria is bland and the bar food is awful (loads of flies everywhere)
We visited on the 20th oct and most of the shops were closed or closing down for the end of season (again we wasn't told)
the staff we very friendly and tried their best.
Unfortunately we did not have a good visit and subsequently ended our holiday of 7 days after just 2!!

the entertainment provided was good especially for the children, the kids clubs were well run and provided a variety of activities my 7 year old enjoyed them enormously. the evening entertainment was varied and the entertainers james, hayley, susan and michelle were enthusiastic and always had time to say hello and have a chat.
the swimming pools on site were well maintained and as there are 3 there was plenty of choice. my 2 year old particularly enjoyed the water sprays. more sunshades round the pool would have been welcomed and there was the age old problem of people putting their towels out on sunbeds at the crack of dawn. that'll teach us to get up before 10am!
the hotel staff both at reception and the bar were friendly and helpful.
the apartments were clean and tidy on arrival and were cleaned regularly with the towels and bedlinen being changed at least 3 to 4 times a week.
the grounds were well maintained and tidy.
the bar food and drink was a bit pricey.

On arrival we were given directions to our room which involved going down a set of steps, which was totally unpractical given that we had 3 suitcases, a baby in a buggy and a 5 year old. We did find another, much longer, way round later to save carrying the buggy up and down stairs for a week.
The room was in block C and was probably the biggest apartment we have ever stayed in, lots of space and not overlooked. This also meant as it was away from the main pool that it was quiet - just what we wanted. Although, I have to say the rooms are a bit dated and on arrival our floor was dusty and dirty.
The entertainment is great if you go in for that sort of thing. The staff are not at all pushy if you want to be left alone, as we often did with having the baby. We often joined in with the bingo and watched the evening entertainment but have to say the parrot show, being late, was the quickest ever.
The pizzeria is very good and good value but the bar food was awful. I heard a few people complain about cold food and value for money. This was the worst salad I'd ever had and the only time I've seen my daughter not eat her favourite, spaghetti bolognaise. The choice isn't brilliant either.

The hotel was clean, rooms quite basic, definately not 4*, more 2*, but cleaned quite often.
The Pizzeria was the better of the 2 options for food.
Quite a limited menu in the bar area but we never had a problem with anything we ordered & the staff were very nice & couldnt do enough for you.The pool area was very clean, we stayed in block A,which was opposite a small pool,plenty of sun beds & parasols & the kids loved the small splash park beside the pool.
There was 2 other pools, a large kids pool & 1 large adults pool,again plenty of sun beds & very clean
We all loved the location, spectacular sea views & a constant breeze which was great for keeping the kids cool, plenty of on site parking if you hire a , which I highly recommend , we did for 8 days car& got to see lots of beautiful spots, not to be missed is Cala Galdana, beautiful sheltered beach & 2 water slides beside it,they are great when the kids tire of the beach,another lovely beach is Son Bou.
The entertainment in the hotel was ok in the evenings, i felt they could put on 1 or 2 shows for the kids, there was a mini disco every evening @ 8,but the kids had no interest in it.Bingo every night @ 9,maybe they could throw in 1 or 2 other games.The entertainment staff were all lovely & never pushy.We only stayed round for the entertainment for about 5 of the nights & it was enough.Kids clubs were well ran.
The odd night they get in a tribute show, we saw The Freddie Mercury one, on one of the evenings & it was really enjoyable, the place was packed.
All in all, a great family holiday,kids had a fab time & thats what its all about when your on a family holiday!
