Our booking was transferred to the Paradise Club ten days before travel due to our original hotel closing early for the season.
The Paradise Club was scarcely occupied with very few children and all but a few of the Animacions team finished their contacts at the end of September.
We were allocated a 2 bed apartment (244 for 6 people) with a balcony overlooking the upper pool from which to enjoy leisurely breakfasts before lying poolside and making the most of the glorious weather and fee wi-fi. Our apartment was large enough for 3 and was clean but a little shabby. We had a few ants on arrival, however a quick spray of some UK bought knockdown saw them off for the fortnight.
The kitchen facilities were basic with limited storage, work surfaces and power points and you could not use 2 pans concurrently as the rings were too close together! A tin opener, spatula and scissors would have been beneficial and we bought some decent sized cups as those supplied are tiny.
The electricity to our apartment was activated by placing the keyfob into a slot on the wall – remove the fob and be instantly plunged into darkness! A Matalan card left in the slot allowed a light to be left on for returning to the apartment when dark.
As we stayed on a self-catering basis, our evenings were spent outside of the hotel so we are unable to give an appraisal of the food/entertainment/spa facilities.
The reception staff were extremely helpful and ensured a maintenance issue was addressed within 15 minutes of reporting.
The marina and its shops/restaurants are immediately over the road and, with numerous car hire shops, supermarkets and restaurants, prices were competitive. Not as well located for beach lovers however anybody hiring a car has a wide selection of beaches across the island (the fee quoted by other reviews for beach lounger and parasol hire evident in other resorts and officially signposted).
I would certainly return but perhaps early season.
Room Tip: Blocks B, C and D have sun-facing balconies overlooking upper pool.
