We went before Javelin was extended/refurbished etc. It was lovely, only problem for me was that the part of the beach where dingys were launched/returned was sited so it was nearly always upwind and therefore a lot of tacking to get back home..but they have moved it and made it a wider section now so might not be so bad.
Kids clubs were great - we had a 3 year old and a 1 year old when we went, friendly staff (nannys and beach staff) nice playground, air conditioned room with painting etc, lots of water stuff (although we went to a different sunsail resort last year and they have got a lot more safety conscious with the younger age groups ie. sitting in a canoe being walked up and down gently by 2 staff, rather than the more adventurous 'chuck-'em-in-the-water' approach we had seen previously.
I liked the bar on the pier (not sure if that's still there), for having a quiet drink and watching dh fall into the water a lot. We liked the food - had more turkish type stuff than english - lots of salads..dh is veggie so nice veggie food is important to him.
I'm trying to think of more negatives so I don't sound like a advert
We have been to quite a few sunsail places and find them good enough to keep going back..but Javelin is the most expensive one, and it looks massive now it's been re-done. Went to Perili last year which was our favourite, but shockingly long transfer and arrived in the 'middle of the night'.
