Hotel Highlights

• Beachfront and big on pool scenes, this place serves up a 180m sand and pebble beach plus a line-up of pools, waterslides and a lazy river for peak holiday mode.

• The Ultra All Inclusive setup runs 24 hours, so late-night bites, coffee runs and cocktail o'clock are always on the cards.

• Set in a huge 100,000m2 plot with gardens, bungalow-style areas and a Blue Flag beach, it is giving loads-of-space resort energy rather than packed-in sunbed chaos.
