"The swimming pools area and beach are just perfect. I was disappointed with the basic level of the kids club. Although the staff were lovely I missed more activities for English speakers. With a lot of Dutch people (speaking very well English) it would be just right to do cinema for kids in English. Also, the activities at the pool were the same every day. Missing on some disco for kids. Overall we had a great time and massive thanks go to Soraya for including our daughter in the kids club activities."
