The kids’ club is handily located right opposite much of the accommodation, and has supervised open play areas, a kids’ circus, computers and arts and crafts tools, but is only open for children aged between four and 11. There are themed programmes by day and evening, and activities may include swimming and water play, and treasure hunts around the resort. Staff are English- and French-speaking. Babysitting services for the evening – and during the day, for under-fours – are available but cost extra. Baby car seats and prams are available on request, while older children will be kept entertained by the myriad free water sports facilities, including pedalos, kayaking, and body boarding.

Accommodation-wise, junior suites can take two adults and a child or one adult and two children; senior suites can take up to four people – two adults and two children or one adult and three children. The 725 sq m villas take six in more spacious surrounds, while the Presidential Villa takes up to nine people, up to five of which can be children. In the resorts’ restaurants, flavours are quite suited to adult palates, with spicy and piquant Asian seasonings frequently featured. However, the Legend buffet has some excellent salads, stews and rice dishes – pork and papaya slaw, for example – which can be sampled in small amounts and are an excellent way to introduce young diners to flavours from other parts of the world. They can fall back on the bread and cooked ham if absolutely desperate.
