We got back a couple of days ago and really didn't want to leave. I had a bit of trepidation as I am not really an all inclusive sort of person but my husband isn't well traveled and felt he didn't want to stress about anything. We stayed in Colina 1 in a great room (one of the self catering... More

Myself and my partner got transferred to this hotel due to our hotel not being developed in time for our holiday. When we first heard we were disappointed as the Holiday Village is very family orientated and we were looking forward to a more romantic break. However, it exceeded our expectations and offered everything we could have wanted from a... More

On arrival the reps offered us a warm welcome and paid particular attention to our 2 daughters. This set the scene for the best 11days ever. It was our first resort holiday and we won't look back as the reps treated us as long lost family. We were unsure of how the kids club would work but they were out... More

Food very good and activities for adults and all the family are well catered for. The hotel and the room was spotless - stay in block one if you can. The... More

Butlins in the sun. Kids club is run by people with no real empathy for the children, but was somewhere parents sent there kids to get some peace and it showed. Bingo was the nightly entertainment (2 euros a time) and cuisine was things like southern fried chicken or jacket potato with beans. Only Brits which made it very cliquey... More
