The park offered a wide range of activities for children, which made our family stay memorable, especially with the engaging evening entertainment. We loved the heated swimming pool, and the on-site shop was quite convenient. However, we did encounter some issues with the cleanliness of our accommodation, which dampened our experience a bit.

I had a delightful stay overall! The stunning sea views from my accommodation really enhanced my experience and created a beautiful backdrop for my vacation. The heated swimming pool was a highlight, especially for the kids, who had a blast swimming. Although some activities for children were a bit structured, they were still enjoyable and kept my little ones entertained. On the downside, I found the check-in process took a bit longer than expected, and the on-site restaurant had limited options on Sundays, which was a slight letdown.
