Any top tips/hacks?
Going for 4 days, 2 adults and a 14 year old.
Which food is best?
Best value activities other than the swimming?
Handy things to take?

Thanks x

Aim to arrive as early as possible. You are allowed to park and use the facilities, even though check in doesn’t open until 3pm. If you plan to swim on arrival day, make sure all your swimstuff is packed separately to save you unpacking everything in your car boot!
Don’t hurry off to bring your car up to your lodge at 3pm if you don’t have to. Let the rush die down a bit and then go, and you’ll beat the crowds and get a bit more time in the pool.
The lodges do include a basic ‘welcome pack’ consisting of a scourer, couple of dishwasher tablets, tea towel and bin bag – but it’s good to pack the basics. I’d recommend bread, butter, milk, basic condiments (salt, pepper, ketchup etc), oil, tea, coffee, loo roll and washing up liquid!
Make a note of your car parking space and location…four days is a long time!
Plan picnic style lunches to enjoy when you are out and about and definitely pack a couple of disposable BBQ's to enjoy if the weather forecast is good.
Definitely eat at The Pancake House, but make a booking well in advance.
Visit the swimming complex in the evening. They light up the pool with lights under water and in the palm trees.
You’ll need to take your own towels for the pool. You’re not allowed to use the ones provided in your lodge.
