Has anyone been there, it's just outside Benidorm?
It looks like there could be plenty to do there for the dc, Trip adviser has decent reviews but I trust Mumsnetters more Grin

We went Sept 2018. It was lovely. The access to the zoo and the water park is a brilliant bonus. We really enjoyed going into the zoo, after breakfast.

We found the buffet and restaurants we're great and the staff very very helpful. We went during term time, so it wasnt too busy.

We stayed in a whirlpool room, so had the added extra of a hot tub. We had great views over Benidorm and the room itself, was clean and spacious.

Its a short taxi ride (or shuttle) to Benidorm, which is perfect distance.

I'd definitely go again and my two (2 and 3) loved it. Looking at elephants from the pool, was a personal favourite of our time there.

@beckham19 thanks so much for your reply.
Some people have commented on Trip Advisor saying the accommodation is a caravan with cladding. Now I absolutely love caravan holidays but not sure about one in the Spanish heat, was it OK for you? We're thinking of going in May.

We went in 2015 which I think was the year it opened, kids were 8 and 9 and both really enjoyed it - was a waterpark and zoo on site. Food was reasonable and accomodation was fine - I wouldn't say it was like a caravan at all. It was between a chalet and a nice mobile home from memory. We went in summer holidays and as waterpark it was fine.

I wouldnt have called them caravans, at all. It was more of a chalet. Ours had 2 bedrooms. Kids one with bunkbeds and a tv and the main part of the chalet, was the main bedroom, with a large bed (I was over 20 weeks pregnant and still had plenty of room!), sofa, fridge, tv. The bathroom had doors from both rooms and two loos, which the kids found hilarious!

Like I said, we did have a whirlpool room, so maybe that was an upgrade? But I dont recall seeing anything, like caravans.

Only downfall I remember, was that our room was at the top of the hill. The restaurant and sich, were at the bottom. It was a bit of a slog, in the heat but I was pregnant. The 2 and 3 year old, managed fine, even after dancing for hours, at the disco!!! In fact downfall is not the right word, but I cant think of a better one! There was a minibus and golf carts, that transported you up the hill, if you didnt fancy the walk.

It really is a lovely resort and I definitely go back again, if I could afford it now!!
