This franchise is so vast it deserves its own postcode. The whole place exudes a sumptuous feel, with bougainvillea-draped bungalows and lush landscaped gardens fronting onto the wide arc of a beach, though some areas are getting a bit tired. Facilities are very good and include heated pool, kids club, numerous restaurants and bars, plus a beachside spa. It's a big hit with families.
