I have been watching octonauts since I was 5 months old and I still do til this day. If I were to go on this when I was younger I would’ve had the best day of my life because a single roller coaster. This made my day and I will defiantly ride this someday!

Great quality video. A couple of questions though, please: - are there queues for the buffet at breakfast and dinner ? - what is the typical age range of the clients ? - how busy does it get around the pool? - is the pool heated ( to what)? - pool access, is it by ladder, tiled steps, or slope? Many thanks for your video

Thanks for the feedback. Here’s some answers to your questions: 1) No queues at breakfast or dinner. 2) Age range from younger couples to 80+. Average age probably around 55 years. 3) Spacious area for sun beds . Sometimes busy, but most people prefer the grassed area. 4) The pool itself is rarely busy. 5) The pool is heated, but don’t know temp - sorry. 6) Access is via tiled steps, in 2 places, there is a contraption for disabled people operated by pool staff. Hope this helps.

“Appropriate” attire is required for all guests. “Elegant” shorts are permitted for men between 21st June and 21st October per the website. As it’s open to interpretation I would take a variety of clothing and scope it out on the first day. Have a great holiday 😀

That beach is 15 minutes walk away. It’s down hill there but uphill on the way back. It’s Called the Playa del Duque.

When you go uphill, you can choose the right or the left street when you are in front of the GF Victoria. The left street is a " little" better to go uphill 🤭not much, but a little. Everything helps when it's warm outside😁.

Was the swim up bar on the top floor still open by any chance? Due to go here for the first time at the beginning of October.

Everytime we went to the top floor the bar was closed (but that doesn’t mean it was always closed) and we also don’t think it was a swim up bar either.

Your video is amazing thanks for posting Quick question how many outdoor pools are in the hotel I only see one
@explorehotels
@explorehotels 3 месяца назад
There is one big pool (it’s massive). The slides go into a different pool and a children’s splash area. The swim up rooms also have their own pools that are shared between a number of rooms.

Hello, thank you for the wonderful video. I have a few questions : 1. What is the cost of dining at the grill restaurant? I understood that burgers are included, but what are the additional charges for other menu items? 2. Have you had the chance to see the family suites? Are they located in the central area? 3. What is the age limit for the kids' club? Also, could you kindly provide the working hours? 4. Could you please provide information about the weather in June? I plan visiting in June 2024. Should we bring coats and warm clothing? 5. Is it usually easy to find available beach spots with free sunbeds, or is it recommended to arrive early for a prime location? 6. Lastly, I was wondering if they serve döner kebab at the resort?
@explorehotels
@explorehotels 5 месяцев назад
Hello, pleased the video was useful. 1. The grill was a €30 Sur charge for adults for whatever you wanted from the menu in the evening and children were priced lower than this. The restaurant operated most lunchtimes and offered burgers which was included in the all inclusive package. 2. We did not stay in a suite and cannot advise on where they were located other than when around the pool one day, we were sat by rooms with their own sunbathing areas and private pools and these were located pool level on the outer side of the hotel by the spa however I do not know what kind of suites these were. 3. The kids club only opened whilst we were there however it seemed to operate through most of the day with a mini disco in the evening. They offered many different activities for all ages. It even had its own restaurant. We did not use this service so cannot comment further than this sorry. 4. We stayed at the start of June and the weather was mixed. Around 25 degrees Celsius when the sun was out with some cloud and rain. We needed a light extra layer for some evenings. Staff did advise us at the time that it was normally much better at that time of year. Hopefully, yours will be much more settled. 5. The beach was a more popular option for sunbathing than the pool. If you wanted a prime position next to the sea front then you would need to be at the beach for 9am or earlier however there was always space further back. There was always plenty of options and no beds were too far from the water. 6. The 24hr restaurant serves kebabs including doner kebabs. Hope that helps. Sorry I cannot be more specific. You will have an amazing holiday if you chose this hotel.

Hi! We are going this year. I have walking difficulties - does the golf buggy take you to/from dinner and other areas of hotel? Do you know what most central rooms are? Think we have booked a delux. Thanks!
@explorehotels
@explorehotels 7 месяцев назад
The hotel has 3 layers of rooms with escalators to navigate up and down the hillside. We travelled with small children and asked for a central position which they honoured and gave us a room close to the escalators. I would recommend you do the same and email the hotel ahead and if a lift is more suitable for you to use then you could request a location by the lifts. In regards to the golf buggies, they were always circulating the site and you could flag them down. When you arrive, you are assigned an assistant who is contacted via WhatsApp and they would be able to arrange a collection for you from your room if needed and I’m sure a return trip too as they worked until late at night. Hope this helps. Enjoy as it’s a wonderful hotel.

Hi there. I’m afraid I can’t answer that. At the hotel you do have a personal assistant, so I’m sure if you were staying they would be able to point you in the right direction with a dentist or hair transplant etc
