Our take

Who it suits

The family resort where the kids don't want to leave.

Drop the kids at the Kids' Club for games and crafts, float in the heated pool while the little ones splash in the children's pool, then cross the street to the beach. Breakfast buffets and restaurants are right on site, and Gulf-view rooms and two-bedroom suites give everyone space. Guests rate it 8.4 out of 10.
