What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Water Park Fun

The kids absolutely loved the water park! With thrilling slides and splash zones, it provided endless entertainment during our stay. The jumping pillow was an added bonus, especially during toddler time, ensuring younger kids had a safe play area without big kids jumping around. We felt safe letting them roam and have fun!

Spacious Villa

We booked a villa with our own bathroom, and the space was definitely impressive! It had a lounge, kitchen, and even bunk beds for the kids. The outdoor deck was a lovely option for morning coffee, and everything was clean and suitably furnished, making our stay very comfortable.

Relaxing Atmosphere

We enjoyed some much-needed relaxation at the large swimming pool. The atmosphere was perfect for unwinding, and while the kids played nearby, we could kick back and soak up the sun. It was a fantastic way to spend our evenings together.

Tasty Food Vans

We were pleasantly surprised by the food vans on-site. They offered a great variety of meals and snacks, including delicious wood-fired pizzas. It made dining easy and enjoyable, allowing us to spend more quality time with the family without the hassle of cooking.

The park has a decent atmosphere and offers some great activities for kids, like a water park and a playground. However, my stay was marred by cleanliness issues in the cabin and poor service when I reported problems. While the facilities for children are impressive, the overall experience left me feeling disappointed and hesitant to return.

I had a lovely stay and found it to be an excellent spot for families. The room was surprisingly spacious and offered great amenities, but I did experience a hiccup during checkout regarding an access card. Overall, fantastic views and value for money make this place recommended, especially for those on a budget.

7.6/10

We enjoyed our stay due to the perfect location near Kinka Beach and plenty of activities for kids. The pool facilities were great and well-maintained. However, we faced issues with Wi-Fi not working and the lack of organized New Year's Eve events made the atmosphere a bit dull. Also, the laundry facilities were inconvenient with many machines out of order.

5.6/10

Our stay at the park hotel was quite disappointing. The facilities had potential but were poorly maintained, leaving us feeling frustrated during our visit. While the pool was a highlight, issues with cleanliness, broken amenities, and noise overshadowed the experience. The location is decent, but overall, the experience didn't meet our expectations.

Rooms

5.0

The ensuite was filthy upon arrival, with dead insects and dirt present. The cleanliness of the broom and mop was also concerning.

Service

The reception staff was not attentive, and the promised maintenance was often forgotten. We were given a bike hire voucher as compensation, which didn't really address our main concerns.

We had a mixed experience during our stay. The cabin was spacious and well-equipped for our family's needs, with fun amenities for the kids. However, there was an unpleasant sewer smell near the pool area, and the early morning light made sleep a bit difficult. Overall, while it was nice to spend time with family, I feel the price was a bit high for what we received.

Rooms

7.0

The cabin was quite spacious with a separate main bedroom, a smaller room for kids, and basic kitchenette amenities. However, the blinds didn't block out the early morning light well.

Service

6.0

The service was decent, but the Wi-Fi was weak where we stayed, and the communal laundry was a bit far from our cabin.

Location

The park is nestled in a lovely green area with plenty of trees, but it requires a bit of a walk to reach the beach.
