I booked this holiday last January for a family of 5 and two elderly grandparents. i read great reviews and i booked it. We were all excited until i re-read the reviews here on trip advisor which turned my stomach how could i take my family to this hotel and resort!!!!!!!!! I contacted first choice who assured me that it would be fine.......................... We went to the airport to be greated by gangs of young people ready to party and us on the late flight. It was awful the flight consisted of drunken people swearing and behaving whilst i had my young children. We arrived nervously at the hotel and the night porter was great he should us to our room at 6 in the morning. We had a great room and my parents had a great room in the refurbished block thank god because the other block was awful!! Loud music and groups of youths. We got sleep every night without much disturbance it was fine. Hotel pool was great ideal for the kids it did have groups of youths around but they all got on great with the little kids playing with them and keeping them involved it was fine for families but if you get a roudy group which is possible then it may not be as relaxing. Food was fantastic it is the best all inclusive we have attended there is something for all and I have a very fussy father who never eats and he actually ate all. All is unlimited great value for money fully recomend this hotel for value. The only dowqn side is the resort itself which is a shame because this island is beautiful and as a young couple we visited it many times but now it is on the streets18-30 resort it is spoilt with sex shows and items of used protection on the floors which is defo not approrpriate for young kids. I walked with my young son to the pharmacy and i was terrified of the quad bikes doing spins and soaring along the roads. The beach at laganas is jam packed for young holiday makers but if you are looking for a quieter location go to the hotel lois and threw the lovely palm bar and onto the beach there it is unspoilt apart from lucky lucky guys approaching you they are fine just making a living (barter with them). If you want to see the turtles hire your own boat it is a great day out my kids loved every minute of it. Follow the large boats and when you see them circle usually there is a turtle. Worth every penny of value to hire a speed boat. The water park is greta in Tsvilli go early on into the holiday and get a week pass it works out cheaper just take a packed lunch with you which the reception will provide for you. We had to make a trip to the hospital it is very frightening and really not like uk hospitals. All in all we had a fantastic holiday and would consider going back but only when the 18-30s move to another island it is far to much with young kids but dont let it put you off just stay off the strip especially at night. Enjoy the hotel it is lovely and clean and fab food.
