My family stayed at Tamassa resort for 5 days and had a really great time. Especially thanks to Mattieu and Kevin in the sports team, our boys (10 and 13) had a brilliant time doing everything from beach volleyball to 5-a-side football. Tamassa really had thought of everything to make the stay work well for families, down to little touches like brushes to clean sand off your feet and plug sockets in the pool-side sun-umbrellas! We also really enjoyed the fact that the all inclusive package included a-la-carte meals in the beachside restaurant. Thanks for a great stay. Read less
