Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort
Miraggio Thermal Spa Resort is a 5-star resort on the Kanistro headland at the southern tip of the Kassandra peninsula in Halkidiki, northern Greece. It combines a hotel, a private marina, a spa built over a natural thermal spring and a six-acre Madagascar-themed children's zone above a private sandy beach. Families come for Kids Planet, the thermal pools and the secluded, self-contained setting, on a bed-and-breakfast basis rather than all-inclusive.

Is it worth it?
Who Miraggio suits, what's folded into the price and what costs extra, and the facts to skim first.
Miraggio is a large, independently run 5-star resort at the quiet southern tip of Kassandra, and it isn't the same proposition as the full-board and all-inclusive estates further up the peninsula. Its draw for families is the amount packed onto one headland: a six-acre children's zone themed on the Madagascar films, a spa built over a natural thermal spring, a private marina and a sandy Blue Flag beach, all in a secluded, wooded setting. The children's provision is unusually broad, taking babies from six months, and it's the thing guests praise most.
Two things shape whether it suits you. The first is the board and the extras: the default is bed and breakfast, not all-inclusive, and a lot of what you'd use costs more on top, from the kids' playground and some of its activities to the spa circuit and treatments, which is the most common gripe. The second is the setting: it's secluded, so every day out involves a drive, and it's built down a hillside, so expect some up and down on foot to the pools and the beach. It skews firmly towards families, which is a plus if you have young children and less so if you want a couples-only calm.
Best for
You want a big children's zone from six months, a sandy beach, a natural thermal spa and a marina setting, and you're happy with bed and breakfast plus paying for some extras.
Maybe not for
You want everything in one all-inclusive price, a couples-only calm, or shops and restaurants a short walk off the resort.
Best ages
Babies from six months up. Daytime care and babysitting from six months and a kids' zone to twelve, but no childcare for younger babies.
What stands out
A six-acre Madagascar-themed Kids Planet, a spa built over a natural thermal spring and a private 81-berth marina.
What to check
Whether a cot comes with your room, the transfer arrangements and how the extras add up beyond the room rate.
Where is it?
On the Kanistro headland at the southern tip of the Kassandra peninsula in Halkidiki, northern Greece, about 56 miles (90 km) from Thessaloniki airport.
Quick facts for families
What the resort is like
Where Miraggio sits, how it's laid out on the hillside and what that means for getting around.
Miraggio sits on the Kanistro headland at the southern tip of Kassandra, one of Halkidiki's three peninsulas reaching into the Aegean in northern Greece. It's built into a gentle hillside among pine forest, with natural springs and coastal views, and it brings a hotel, a private marina, a thermal spa, a six-acre children's zone and a cluster of restaurants together on one site. It's pitched at both families and adults after a luxury break, so it isn't an exclusively family all-inclusive, and the board is bed and breakfast by default. For the wider region, its beaches and when to go, see our Halkidiki guide.
The hillside setting matters for a family. The grounds slope down towards the coast, so there's some up and down between the rooms, the pools and the beach. Full accessibility for guests with disabilities is confirmed, with specialised access equipment, though the resort doesn't publish the routes or the distance from the rooms down to the sand, so it's worth asking about when you book if you're pushing a pram or have a specific access need. The location is secluded: this is a self-contained resort rather than a base you walk out of to shops and tavernas, and it's the furthest point on the peninsula from Thessaloniki, so days out mean driving.
The buildings are designed to sit lightly on the hillside, low against the slope under 8,300 m² of planted green roofs, and a Geothermic Exchange System draws on the same geothermal source as the spa to heat and cool the buildings, the water and the pools, cutting an estimated 632 tonnes of CO₂ a year. The pine-forested headland is a different setting from the more built-up resort towns further north on Kassandra, and it's part of what guests single out about the place. All of this sits under a scheme the resort calls its Miraggio Eco-Footprint Program, which also covers site-wide recycling, LED lighting, low-flow taps and showerheads, a linen and towel reuse scheme, local food sourcing and support for Mediterranean monk seal conservation. It holds Blue Flag awards for both the beach and the marina, the marina's now in its ninth consecutive year, a Green Key certification and the ISO 14001:2015, 9001:2015 and 22000:2018 standards for environmental, quality and food-safety management, and offers digital check-in. There's also an on-site amphitheatre used for events and shows beyond the children's programme.
Every restaurant and bar
The board basis, all eight restaurants, the bars and how the Dine-Around and à la carte booking work.
Board at Miraggio is bed and breakfast by default, with Half Board and Full Board available as upgrades. Half Board adds a dinner buffet at Kritamo and a daily Dine-Around credit you can put towards dinner at three of the à la carte restaurants: Portofino, Toroneo and Sommelier's 8. Full Board, added in 2024, adds a 3-course set lunch at the Oasis pool restaurant, with a shorter 2-course children's menu for under-twelves. Drinks aren't included on any board basis. There are eight restaurants and five bars in all.
| Restaurant | Type | What to know |
|---|---|---|
| Kritamo | Main buffet | The everyday restaurant for board-basis guests, serving Mediterranean and international dishes at breakfast and dinner. No booking needed. |
| Elia | Club restaurant | Breakfast for Miraggio Club guests, plus Mediterranean lunch and dinner. Club guests take breakfast here rather than at Kritamo. |
| Portofino | Italian, à la carte | Wood-fired pizza and handmade pasta, roughly 19:00–23:00. One of the three restaurants in the Half Board Dine-Around. |
| Toroneo | Seafood, marina-side | Fresh fish and seafood by the marina, lunch and dinner, June to September and weather dependent. In the Dine-Around. |
| Sommelier’s 8 | Steak and wine | Grilled meats with wine pairings in the evening, smart casual. In the Dine-Around. |
| Oasis | Pool and beach | Greek and Mediterranean dishes poolside and beachside, roughly 11:00–19:00. Used for the Full Board set lunch. |
| MEZEdaki | Beach meze | Greek mezze-style plates on the beach. |
| Sushi Bar | Sushi, two locations | One sushi and sashimi concept, indoors in the evening at the Lobby Sushi Bar and poolside by day at the Sushi Pool Bar. Counted as one restaurant. |
Kritamo is the everyday buffet and the main restaurant for board-basis guests, Mediterranean and international, open for breakfast and dinner. Elia is the Club-tier restaurant, where Miraggio Club guests take breakfast, and it also serves Mediterranean lunches and dinners. The à la carte restaurants each have their own character: Portofino for wood-fired pizza and pasta, Toroneo for seafood by the marina (June to September, and weather dependent), Sommelier's 8 for grilled meats and wine, and the Sushi Bar, one sushi concept served indoors in the evening at the Lobby Sushi Bar and poolside by day at the Sushi Pool Bar. Oasis is the pool and beach restaurant through the day, and MEZEdaki does Greek mezze on the beach. For children there's also the Kids Planet Café, with waffles, ice cream and gelato, which sits within the children's zone rather than among the main restaurants.
The five bars are the Churchill Lounge, the Library Lobby Bar, the Mirage Lobby Bar, the Oasis pool and beach bar, and the Myrthia Health Bar at the spa.
How dining and the Dine-Around work
On Half Board you get a daily credit per person to put towards dinner at Portofino, Toroneo or Sommelier's 8, and you can book any of them more than once across your stay, subject to availability. Reservations for the Dine-Around and for the à la carte restaurants are made through the Guest Relations desk once you arrive. Drinks sit outside all the board options, so budget for those separately.
Rooms and suites
Every room and suite type with its official size, the three seawater pools and the Blue Flag beach.
There are thirteen room and suite types across two tiers: the Miraggio tier of six rooms and the premium Miraggio Club tier of seven, which adds the suites and the private pools. Most rooms are a similar size, around 37 to 39 m², so for a family the choice comes down to how many children a room takes, whether there's a separate bedroom and whether you want a private pool. It's a large resort, put at around 300 rooms and suites in tour-operator listings rather than an official count. In-room amenities vary by category, so confirm the details that matter to you when you book. The table below is the whole line-up with the official sizes; the guidance after it is which suit a family with a baby or toddler.
| Room | Size | Sleeps | Family notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Superior Garden View Room | 34–36 m² | 2 adults + 1 child | The entry-level room and the smallest, with a garden outlook and space for one child only. |
| Deluxe Garden View Room | 37–39 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | A larger garden-view room that takes a second child. |
| Deluxe Side Sea View Room | 37–39 m² | 2 adults + 1 child | A partial sea view, but for one child only. |
| Deluxe Sea View Room | 37–39 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | A full sea view with room for two children. |
| Deluxe Pool Front Room | 37–39 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | Faces the main pool. Pool Front means the outlook and proximity, not a private pool. |
| Family Garden View Room | 43–45 m² | 4 adults, 3 adults + 1 child or 2 adults + 2 children | The largest standard room and the most practical for a family of four. Garden view, not sea. |
| Club Sea View Room | 37–39 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | Club-tier privileges with a sea view, in a standard-room footprint. |
| Club Sea View Private Pool Room | 37–39 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | A private pool in the same compact footprint as a Deluxe Sea View. |
| Suite Pool Front Ground Floor | 76 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | Much more space without a private-pool premium, on the ground floor. |
| Suite Sea View First Floor | 76 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | The same size a floor up, with a sea view. |
| One Bedroom Suite Private Pool | 79 m² | 3 adults + 1 child, or 2 adults + 2 children | A separate bedroom plus a private pool, useful when a baby or toddler needs to sleep apart. |
| One Bedroom Duplex Suite Private Pool | 87–89 m² | 4 adults + 1 child, 3 adults + 2 children or 2 adults + 3 children | Two levels with a private pool; the split layout can help with children’s sleep. |
| Two Bedroom Duplex Suite Private Pool | 178 m² | 4 adults + 2 children, 3 adults + 3 children or 2 adults + 4 children | The largest option and the flagship family suite, with two bedrooms and a private pool. |
For a family of four in a standard room, the Family Garden View at 43 to 45 m² is the largest and the most practical, though its outlook is the garden rather than the sea. None of the standard Miraggio rooms has a separate bedroom or a private pool, so if you need a door to close on a sleeping baby you're into the Club tier. The first room with a bedroom you can shut is the One Bedroom Suite Private Pool at 79 m², which pairs a separate bedroom with a private pool. Above that the duplex suites split the space over two levels, and the Two Bedroom Duplex Suite Private Pool at 178 m² is the largest, sleeping up to four adults and two children. The Club tier's compact Club Sea View Private Pool Room is worth knowing about too: it fits a private pool into the same 37 to 39 m² footprint as a standard Deluxe Sea View, so it gives you private water without the suite price.
What the Miraggio Club tier adds
The Miraggio Club tier is the premium half of the resort, and beyond the suites and private pools it comes with a set of privileges. Club guests take breakfast at Elia rather than the main buffet, get a private concierge who handles dining reservations, cruises, excursions and personal-training bookings, and have daily complimentary access to the thermal spa's Thalasso Circuit and a dedicated stretch of beach with premium sunbeds and gazebos. A free airport shuttle is included for stays of five nights or more in a Club room or suite. One thing it doesn't include is childcare: babysitting is charged for Club guests just as it is for everyone else.
Pools and water features
The resort has three outdoor pools, all filled with seawater and heatable through the Geothermic Exchange System that also feeds the spa. The main pool sits centrally near the beachfront, with sunbeds, umbrellas and an outdoor hot tub alongside. The children's pool is close to it, shallow and designed for young children, with lifeguards on duty. The adults-only Relax Pool is warm thermal seawater, set among palms with a view over the Aegean, and kept for grown-ups. Separately, within Kids Planet, there's a splash pad with tipping buckets and water fountains, which is a different thing from the children's pool. The resort doesn't publish the pool opening hours, so check them when you arrive.
The beach
Miraggio has its own private sandy beach, which holds a Blue Flag for water quality. The official description is a sandy beach with clear water, and most of it is; some guests, though, report small cobbles and a rocky entry at the water's edge in places, so water shoes are worth packing for little feet. There are sunbeds, umbrellas, complimentary double gazebos and free towels from a towel station, and Club guests have their own stretch with premium loungers and gazebos. The beach is confirmed as fully accessible for guests with disabilities, with specialised access equipment. Water sports run from a kiosk on Miraggio Beach, taking in jet skis, water skiing, flyboarding, paddle boats, canoes, inflatables and diving, each with its own charge.
Babies and toddlers
Kids Planet from six months, the baby kit, the thermal spa and its age rules, all the activities and the marina.
The children's zone and the baby kit
Kids Planet is the resort's purpose-built children's zone, one of the largest in Halkidiki at six acres, themed on the Madagascar and Ice Age films with an animatronic character arch. It takes children from six months to twelve years, though what's on offer differs by age. Children from four to twelve use the main indoor playground on a day-pass and run to strict supervision ratios. Parents aren't allowed inside the main playground area. Babies and toddlers from six months to four years are looked after one-to-one, either in the indoor playground or in your room, rather than in a group. Alongside the paid playground there's a free, open-access Family Room where parents are welcome. There's no separate teens club, so twelve is the top of Kids Planet, and older teenagers are catered for through the spa's conditional window instead. There's no care at all for babies under six months, so with a younger baby you'll be hands-on throughout.
The indoor playground and the Family Room both run daily from 10:00 to 18:30, and the evening Mini Stage shows run from 20:30 to 22:30, nightly from mid-June to mid-September. Babysitting is offered separately, daily, on request. The indoor playground costs €20 per child per day for the four-to-twelves, and babysitting for the younger ones is charged by the hour: €15 in Kids Planet during the day and €30 in your room from 19:00, plus a one-off €15 charge if a babysitter needs a taxi home after 23:00 (all last checked June 2026). A few of the indoor activities, like the i-Wall interactive game and the electronic games, cost extra again, all on top of the room. Places are limited, so it's worth booking ahead.
Indoors there's the supervised playground, the i-Wall and electronic games, cinema sessions and board games, plus the free Family Room. Outdoors is where much of the appeal sits: an expansive playground, face painting and crafts, remote-controlled cars, a mini race track with child-sized Range Rovers and Mercedes, the splash pad and the shallow children's pool. There's also an animatronic entry arch themed on the Madagascar films, with Alex the lion, Gloria the hippo, Melman the giraffe, Morris the lemur, King Julian and the penguins, plus Ice Age's Sid, Manny, Ellie and Scrat on the roof of the Kids Planet Café. The child-sized cars and the animatronics are the features families single out most. In the evening the Mini Stage runs a Mini Disco, a Madagascar show, a fairy show, a mini cinema, Miraggioland and glow and roller-disco parties.
For the youngest, the resort confirms baby phones and baby bath tubs on request, subject to availability, along with children's menus and child-sized tables and chairs; high chairs are available too. A cot isn't listed as standard, so ask about one when you book rather than assuming it comes with the room; the same applies to a steriliser or bottle warmer. Medical assistance is available at an extra charge. There are shaded areas within Kids Planet, which helps with sun planning for a baby or toddler.
The thermal spa
The Myrthia Thermal Spa is the resort's signature, built over a natural thermal spring on the Kanistro headland and covering 3,000 m² across two levels. The ground level holds the thermal circuit of pools, saunas and steam rooms; the upper level has the treatment rooms, relaxation areas, a fitness centre and the salon. The wet zone has three thermal pools of natural spring water at 32°C, a thalassotherapy pool of warm seawater at 30 to 32°C with seventeen hydro jets, and a Thalasso-Infinity pool of heated seawater with hydro-jet loungers. A separate Thermal Well-Life Suite steps through a steam room at 50°C (holding 8–10 people), a Finnish sauna at 90–100°C (10–15), a herbal sauna at 45°C (8–10) and a tepidarium at 35°C (5–8), finishing with a walking cold plunge at 10–15°C and two chromotherapy showers.
The indoor spa is set up as an adult space, and this matters for families. Children under twelve aren't allowed in the indoor spa pools at all. Children of twelve to sixteen may use the spa pools, but only between 10:00 and 14:00, with a parent present, a signed consent form and a per-child charge, and they still can't go into the Thermal Well-Life Suite. Younger children aren't left out entirely, as there's a separate Kids Spa for children, distinct from the adult thermal circuit; the specific treatments, ages and booking aren't published, so ask the spa direct.
Treatments use Dr Barbara Sturm and Germaine de Capuccini skincare, and cover massages, facials, treatments for two, Greek signature rituals, a nail salon with waxing and a hair salon, alongside fitness and personal training. Entry to the thermal circuit costs €30 a person on top of any board rate, and treatments cost extra again; an individual Hydro Bath runs from around €50 for 25 minutes up to the longer Myrthias' Hydro Bath Ritual at €210 for 105 minutes (last checked June 2026), while individual treatment and massage prices vary, so it's worth asking the spa direct before deciding how much to budget. There's a health bar at the spa for juices and light bites.
Things to do
Beyond Kids Planet and the spa, there's a daily activities programme covering Pilates, yoga, hiking, aqua fitness, basketball, five-a-side football, beach volleyball, archery, ping pong, outdoor chess and fitness workouts, with dance classes, an introductory water-sports session for children and organised sports tournaments through the season. Not all of it is free: some sessions are included and others carry a charge, and the resort doesn't set out which is which activity by activity, so ask when you book. There are three tennis courts, two clay and one hard, with certified instructors giving lessons to adults and children (extra charge) and rackets to hire. Down at the beach, the watersports kiosk covers jet skis, water skiing, flyboarding, paddle boats, canoes, inflatables and guided diving in the Aegean with certified instructors, suited to complete beginners through to experienced divers, with equipment provided. Swimming lessons for children from three to twelve, also with certified instructors, need booking a day ahead and carry their own charge.
E-bikes can be hired through the Unicorn Mobility app, which unlocks the bike once you're on site, with routes out to Kanistro Cape, the natural harbour of St Nicolaos, Paliouri village and nearby beaches. The resort also has a fitness centre with personal training, an on-site car-hire desk, a medical service at extra charge and an amphitheatre used for events and shows. Yacht day trips run from the marina, and there's shopping within the resort. Most of the extras carry their own charge on top of the room.
The marina
Marina Miraggio is a full working marina rather than a token jetty. Even if you never set foot on a boat, the yachts and the waterfront are part of the setting, and its restaurants, bars and shops open onto the quay. It covers 50,000 m² with 81 berths for vessels up to 40 metres, in water four and a half to ten metres deep, and it runs year-round, unlike the hotel. It was built with Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, holds a Golden Greek Hospitality Award and a Blue Flag, and its services cover round-the-clock security, power and water, fuel, a pump-out station, Wi-Fi, a launching ramp and winter boat storage. For guests who do want to get out on the water, the Sporades islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos are within reach by yacht, and day cruises can be arranged.
The area and days out
Miraggio sits at the southern tip of Kassandra, well away from the resort towns. The village of Paliouri is a few minutes away by car or on the e-bike route, with the natural harbour of St Nicolaos and Kanistro Cape nearby, and Nea Skioni is the nearest town of any size, a short drive north. Further up the peninsula, the Sani estate is around 19 to 25 miles (30 to 40 km) north for a day visit, and Hanioti is a mid-peninsula town with beaches, tavernas and bars. Inland, Polygyros, the capital of Halkidiki, has an archaeological museum. The sandy beaches at Pefkochori and Hanioti on the eastern side are a car day trip away.
Thessaloniki, Greece's second city, is about 56 miles (90 km) and 90 minutes north, with Byzantine churches, the White Tower and good food, a day out that suits older children more than toddlers. The Sporades islands of Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonnisos are reachable by yacht from the marina, roughly 57 to 60 nautical miles away, or by ferry from Ouranoupolis or Nea Moudania. For the wider region, its beaches and seasons, see our Halkidiki guide.
Loves and gripes
What guests rate and what they flag, how it compares with its neighbours, the journey in and the weather by month.
Miraggio scores well across the review sites: around 4 out of 5 on TripAdvisor from some 1,500 reviews, where it's rated the top hotel in Paliouri, and 9.1 out of 10 on Booking.com from over 1,200 reviews, with a Booking.com Traveller Review Award for 2026. It also holds a Greek Hospitality Award from 2023 and a Golden Greek Hospitality Award from 2021 for the marina. Here's what comes up most, on both sides.
What families love
- Kids Planet, praised almost across the board, especially the animatronics, the Madagascar theming and the child-sized cars.
- The evening entertainment, a hit with children.
- The sandy beach and the shallow seawater children's pool for babies and toddlers.
- The Myrthia Thermal Spa and its thermal pools.
- The marina and the sense of place it gives.
- High service levels, with staff good with children.
- The main buffet, for quality and variety.
Common gripes
- The extra charges, the most common complaint: the kids' playground (€20 per child a day), some of its activities, spa entry (€30 a person) and treatments all cost extra on top of a five-star room rate (last checked June 2026), and some guests found this unexpected at that price point.
- The beach entry, which some find cobbled and rocky rather than pure sand.
- Peak-week crowds, with the main buffet feeling chaotic when it's full of young children.
- The southern-tip location, which ties every excursion to a drive; the resort is built to be self-contained rather than a base for wandering into a nearby town.
- Service that some found less consistent at the busiest times.
How it compares
Miraggio pitches differently from the full-board and all-inclusive estates further north. Sani Resort and the Ikos hotels sell full-board or all-inclusive board, with kids' clubs from age four and separate paid crèches for younger children; Miraggio's default is bed and breakfast with upgrades, and its Kids Planet takes children from six months, on a bigger, more heavily themed site. What Miraggio adds that they don't is the thermal-spring spa and the 81-berth marina, in a secluded headland setting rather than a northern estate, and its biggest family suite, the 178 m² two-bedroom duplex, is larger than most. The trade-off is the board model and the extras: you pay for more as you go, where an all-inclusive folds it into one price. For the wider picture, our Halkidiki guide covers the peninsula.
The journey in and the best monthsGetting there and when to go
Thessaloniki Macedonia Airport is the arrival point, about 56 miles (90 km) and around 90 minutes by road, and roughly a three-hour flight from London, with British Airways, easyJet and Ryanair among the airlines from UK airports. By car it's the Halkidiki highway south past Nea Moudania, then the coastal road down Kassandra to Paliouri; for satnav or post, the address is Kanistro, Paliouri, Halkidiki 63085, and the resort takes calls on +30 2374 440000. Transfers aren't laid on as standard: a "Complimentary Transfer" turns up as a promotional offer rather than a fixed inclusion, so plan to book a private transfer or taxi yourself, and note that public buses to Halkidiki don't serve Paliouri directly. The one confirmed free transfer is an airport shuttle for stays of five nights or more in a Miraggio Club room or suite.
For young children, July and August bring the most reliable heat and the warmest sea, though they're also the busiest and priciest weeks. September is an excellent shoulder, still warm with the sea holding its heat and fewer crowds, and June is a strong choice for good weather before the peak. The resort runs from around May or June to October, with the fullest programme from July to September.
Month by monthWeather
The figures below are typical monthly averages for the southern Kassandra coast. The Aegean here stays fairly calm through summer and isn't much affected by the meltemi wind that stirs up the islands further south.
| Month | Daytime high | Overnight low | Rain | Wet days | Sea temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May | 25° | 13.5° | 37 mm | 8 | 18° |
| June | 30° | 18.5° | 31 mm | 7 | 23° |
| July | 32.5° | 21° | 24 mm | 6 | 26° |
| August | 32.5° | 21° | 21 mm | 5 | 27° |
| September | 28° | 17° | 22 mm | 5 | 25° |
| October | 21.5° | 12° | 25 mm | 4 | 22° |
Typical monthly averages from weather-station records. Sea temperature is the open-water figure, so a sheltered bay can feel a degree or two warmer. The resort runs from around May or June to October, with peak services July to September.
Questions
The things families ask most, the official pages worth a bookmark and when this guide was last refreshed.
Is it all-inclusive?
No. The default board is bed and breakfast, with Half Board and Full Board as paid upgrades, and drinks aren't included on any of them. It's a different model from the full-board and all-inclusive resorts elsewhere on Kassandra, so budget for meals and drinks beyond breakfast unless you upgrade.
Is the airport transfer included?
Not as standard, so book a private transfer or taxi in advance. The only free option is an airport shuttle for stays of five nights or more in a Miraggio Club room or suite; on any other booking, budget for the transfer both ways.
Can you get childcare for a baby under six months?
No. Six months is the age floor for both the daytime care in Kids Planet and the in-room babysitting, so with a younger baby you'll be doing all the care yourselves. If drop-off care from birth matters, this isn't the resort for it.
How much does the kids' club cost?
The indoor playground is charged per child per day for the four-to-twelves, and babysitting for younger children is charged by the hour, more in your room in the evening than in the daytime. It's all on top of the room, and a few indoor activities cost extra again, so budget for it if you'll use it daily.
Will the children be able to use the spa?
The indoor spa is set up as an adult space, so with young children you'll take the thermal circuit in turns while the other parent has them. Under-twelves aren't allowed in the indoor pools at all, and twelve-to-sixteens only get a supervised window in the middle of the day. Younger children have the separate Kids Spa instead, which is worth asking about directly.
Are cots provided?
Request one when you book. Baby phones and baby bath tubs are confirmed on request, but a cot isn't listed as a standard inclusion, so don't assume it's in the room. Flag a steriliser or bottle warmer at the same time if you'll need them.
What time is check-in?
Check-in is generally mid-afternoon and check-out late morning. Confirm the exact times when you book, and if you land early or fly home late, ask whether you can drop bags and use the facilities either side.
When is the resort open?
Roughly May or June to October, with the fullest programme July to September. Only the marina runs all year, so if you find a year-round listing that's the marina rather than the hotel; check your dates fall in the hotel's season before booking flights.
