Busy hotel
I worked in this hotel as one of the First Choice kids rep for the summer of 2008. The hotel is aimed at families with children. There are lots of child friendly entertainment both at night time and through the day. The First choice mini disco on a Monday night was the best! There is a big outdoor stage where the entertainment team put on different shows etc. It is a large complex with three hotels in it, very busy at high season during the kids school holidays. The food is average there is lots of choice during peak season, but as the hotel gets quieter the selection is limited. Guests can pick from three restaurants to eat at, although again as the hotel gets quieter they only open the one restaurant (Jupiter). It is situated about a five minute walk from the Bellevue strip which has everything you should need on a holiday! About ten minute walk to the beach although the hotel has a bus service which runs every 10 minutes! Rooms are basic but clean. Overall good for a jam packed busy family hotel!

Great hotel
I have stayed at this hotel a few times now. The entertainers are fantastic as long as you are willing to join in. If you are looking for a relaxed holiday then this would be fine for you either as they don't bother you but they have so much on if you do want to take part. The rooms are very basic, spacious but not luxury. For what you pay you can't really expect it though and how much time do you really spend in your room?? The food isn't great. They have a few different things on everyday but seem to stick to the same things on a regular basis. One thing I would say is do not go at the very end of October. On my recent trip I went on the 14th October and for 2 weeks, although this was the kids school holidays it wasn't very busy. Also things had started closing down, including the hotel. A couple of days before we were due to come home they had people coming and taking the pool tables and things away. Definitely worth the money however and I would return! In a lovely location. A must see is Pirates. It's fantastic!
