Aqualand Resort Guest Review | "Great pools but didn't reach expectations"
On arrival: Very good service. Staff were friendly and helpful. Cleanliness: First rate. Everywhere was spotless. Rooms were cleaned and bedding and towels were changed on a daily basis. Cleaning staff were unobtrusive and very quiet. The pools and surroundings were beautifully clean and well kept. Entertainment by the Animation Team: They worked hard from 10 am till 11.30pm every day. They encouraged people to join in but weren't pushy. Great entertainment for the little ones but repetitive, same songs and dances every night. |
Adults had a great time in the lounge bar with a quiz and competitions and the usual bingo though at 3 Euro for 1 card
was a bit on the expensive side if everyone in your party wanted to play. No activities were organised for older children, we had 3 boys aged 11 and 13 who were bored at times because of the bad weather. The brochure said there'd be basket ball and water polo but none of these activities materialised (weather could have been a factor) but nothing was organised for them inside. We spent a fortune giving the boys money for the pool table (2Euro per game) and 3Euro for half an hour on the internet, All in all the Animation Team get 7/10 |
Word of warning. There was T shirt painting activity for children and a plain t shirt for the child to paint was 10 euro.
According to the rep, Adam, they shouldn't have been charging for this, it's supposed to be free. Food: We went all inclusive for the first time and were impressed by the variety of food on offer. It was well presented, hot and tasty and there was a good selection of salads and although the desserts were very nice, it got to be a bit repetitive. You weren't allowed to take food out of the restaurant and no hot drinks were served with lunch or dinner, only at breakfast. |
Huge disappointment was with the all day snacks which consisted of dry (very dry) ham and cheese toasted sandwiches and ice cream. Nothing else though on a couple of occasions we did see sausage and chips and a savoury pastry served at the pool straight after breakfast but nothing except the toasted sandwiches and the occasional slice of cake in the afternoon. It was very disappointing with 3 hungry lads to fill and meant we had to spend money on food in a very expensive minmarket at the front of the hotel. So my rating for restaurant food 8/10, for snacks, 0/10. |
Last but not least, the bars: Staff were very friendly, drinks plentiful and good measures. The soft drinks on tap were lovely and cold and there was tea, cofee and hot chocolate on offer. The down side at the pool bar were the huge amount of wasps round the soft drinks dispenser. A 'bug zapper' should be installed so for this reason I give the pool bar 6/10 and the lounge bar 10/10. We loved the pools and slides and would return if the minor issues mentioned were addressed. The weather when we arrived was terrible but we had a couple of nice days and the boys loved the whole holiday |
