“Love it always”

Sep 17, 2025245tasneemp

This is our third time at the hotel and we'll be back. Our first visit was in September 2022 when it opened and returned every year for 4 years in September baring 2023 when my daughter was 8weeks. We live in South Africa also so it's not an easy trip. I'm writing a second review because straight off the back I immediately noticed the general improvements made to the hotel to enhance the guest experience. The games on the beach, the icecream cart, chilled infused water by the pool, the hotdogs cart, etc. I wondered why and immediately looked up the change in General Manager which always brings a fresh perspective to the hotel. I do however have a small gripe with the overall younger guest experience. The kids club has changed so much. Last year we were able to take our little one for hours on end whereas this time round we visited for the activities and left soon after. The little house inside the kids club was so much more utilised by all ages. Infront of that was a ledge where toys were displayed prompting play and bean bags for adults and older kids were left to allow us parents to get a moment while our LOs were busy. The trendy toys were all packed neatly and available within the cubicles, everything was accounted for. All of this has been replaced with a giant toy box leaving the poor kids scavenging for scraps. Which is developmentally the worst way to keeps toys whereas you were so on the nose before. The activity tables were packed behind the toy box making it impossible for my LO to get to. (I do understand the house was somewhat abused and caused issues between the kids however nothing which was of major concern) One evening we went outside to play with the house in the dark. It was obviously very hot and the artificial grass was almost impossible to sit on. The rest of the playground was also dusty. This was dusty last year too. The next day though my toddler wanted to go back in midday sun which I obviously refused prompting a tantrum. Please don't get me wrong the ladies at the kids club were amazing and always was. The layout changes just completely ruined active play. While I can fully understand changing the teens club to a far more profitable bar. It was a nice escape from the heat to play table tennis. We'd also have the occasional lone teen gracing us with their presence. It's just unfortunate there's nowhere for them to go. The pool also had a giant turtle which we forwarned our toddler about. She was disappointed that it was gone. I do know it was deteriorating and had seen better days so the removal was probably for the best, however adding a bit of a splash park to the pool would do so much for the 1000s of kids who do visit, water tables are also such a great cheap addition. I genuinely only choose resorts with toddler based off how child friendly it is, it's the only deciding factor since having her. Special mention to Grace checking us in. She was so amazing
