    Family suite with kitchenette allowed us independence for breakfast and snacks. Twin rooms met our family requirements. Useful to also have an entrance lobby for shoes etc. Large swimming pool was also a big bonus for the kids, though due to a packed programme they only had a little use of it. Staff were friendly and helpful without being overbearing.
