“This all-inclusive property emphasizes family fun, with multiple pools and a free beach shuttle to Playa del Inglés, though the walk is manageable. I noticed that the hotel is dedicated to cleanliness, and the variety of dining options-including themed nights-should please most palates. The all-inclusive package has some limitations on drink choices, but the convenience and entertainment value are undeniable, especially for families.”

Children's AmenitiesFun for teens

There is a smaller pool for young children. An area for teenagers with pool tables would be great.
