A spa and a waterpark? Relaxation and fun? Stuff for the kids and the parents? Yes, yes and a big ol' yes! Whether you're the type to spend the afternoon at the Roman baths or the first in line to race your kids down the water slides, this place is for you. It's got its own pizzeria on site, there's a shuttle bus to the beach, and if you really want to splash out, you can get a room with its own Jacuzzi! Need we continue...
