One Resort Aqua Park

I went here last year with my dad , we went around the middle of April and when we arrived we had terrible weather for about 3 days. There was plenty to do we went outside at the arcade area where there was air hockey etc, and a lovely bar serving cocktails where we spent most of our time . As it got sunnier throughout the day we ended up sitting at the pool which there were 3 pools throughout the resort and flumes perfect for kids. Not too mention the fabulous places for food from crepes to burgers to the beautiful restaurants you have to book. Watch out as nearly about everyone in the hotel was covered in mosquito bites my dad and myself included, we used absolutely everything to stop it but nothing really helped. Overall it was a pretty decent holiday but would definitely go at a sunnier time as I was going for sun and hardly got anything.

We came here in September for a week as a group of both friends and family. Firstly, the hotel is quite far away from the airport (about an hour). This wouldn't be so bad if we were able to check in as soon as we arrived. When we arrived the lobby was FULL of people waiting to be checked in. The queue was out of the door, suitcases literally covering the steps. We were told to leave our suitcases and to come back at 3 when we could check in. This wasn't too much of a problem as we took our swimwear out of our suitcases, changed and went to the pool and had a few drinks. As others have mentioned, one thing that isn't mentioned anywhere is that this isn't your typical hotel. There is NOT a hotel building. All rooms are these little bungalows. The issue with this is that some of the rooms are soooo far away it takes ten minutes to get to any of the pools or main hotel area! The rooms themselves were okay. Relatively cool considering the temperature at the time was around the 30s. The air con could have been better but we just kept our curtains closed during the day to keep some of the sun out. We had a little gecko in our room one day but managed to whisk him out. The housekeeping staff were lovely and made our pajamas into pretty patterns once they had made our beds. The general decor was quite tired but one of the rooms of a couple in our group was much better so perhaps they are in the process of renovating? Food is not for English people. It was very repetitive and cold. I would recommend eating at either the beach bar (where food is cooked fresh) and the burger bar near the pool with the waterslides. This is what we basically survived off of. The A La Carte restaurants were very hit and miss but a nice change from buffet food. The animation team are great and friendly....so long as you aren't a young female. Some of the male members of the animation team were very predatory. We had 5 girls in our group, some in their early twenties/late teams and were swarmed by them each day, asking crude questions, asking for their numbers, to meet them after their shifts etc. I think one was called Remi (not sure if that is spelt right). It was difficult to relax and get a minute of peace and quiet without being interrupted by someone. Other than that the other members of the animation team were very energetic, always getting up to do dances and trying to get people involved in the games they were putting on. There was a foam party one day which was hilarious! The evening shows are totally worth going to and are held near the burger place. Worth grabbing a drink and having a laugh! Yes some of the excursion (Ali Baba) and spa people are pushy at times but if you are firm with them they will leave you alone. You have to remember that it's their jobs to sell! The pool bars both serve alcohol all day/evening. The one by the waterslides does beer and wine and the other pool bar and beach bar serve beer, wine and cocktails. The inside bar also does beer wine and cocktails but I believe you have to pay for spirits (as with most all inclusive resorts). Pool guys coming round asking if you want another drink or water etc and bringing them to you which was lovely! The only mild complaint I have is that the bar tender at the bar near the waterslides only used to pour half cups of wine and beer...what's all that about? We would just order two and pour them into the same cup. We waited over an hour for our transfer home which wasn't ideal considering it was hot and early in the morning. This could have been much better organised as coaches were turning up without signage on them and people stood around looking confused as they didn't know which to get on! I'm not in a hurry to come back here. Whilst it was okay, the rooms need updating and food needs some serious work and I think some of the animation team need to take a cold shower... There are definitely better places to be staying for the money we paid. I wouldn't recommend this place if you're looking to relax. Probably good for families with small children though.

We went for a weeks hoilday in September Arrived at the hotel about 11 in the morning check in was hectic and couldn't get into our room till gone 3 all seemed very unorganized.got to room very clean so spot on with that cleaners were always fantastic. The bar staff absolutely fantastic all of them.the food was average not much for Brits but was good to try new foods, the Al carte restaurants were probably the best places to eats but not very adventurous. The pasta bar was great however the burger bar had long que and it was a stale horrible bun with it and no option for cheese. There was always plenty entertainment staff absolutely fantastic work very hard and very good.one day went for spa visit both had massage good price for treatment and worth it. Harassed every day by Ali Baba to go on a trip even though we didn't want to go on one of his. But will definitely recommend the animal park trip absolutely fantastic and once is a life time feeding giraffes for 10dinar about 3 pound and feeding out great animals getting so close was incredible. The toilets by the main pool were often very dirty but all the others were gleaming. Overall a good stay and comfortable room, however needs to be more options for British people in the main restaurant.
