Caretta Beach Resort and Waterpark

The lively Caretta Beach Resort is a top choice for families. There’s a great round-up of facilities, plus a round-the-clock entertainment programme which ticks off sports, games, karaoke and night-time shows. The hotel is also in a brilliant location – the nearest shops, bars and restaurants are just outside the main entrance, while the resort centre is around a 15-minute walk away. A golden, sandy beach is about 25 minutes on foot, but if you don’t fancy the legwork, hop on the hotel shuttle bus for a free ride.

The outdoor scene gets top marks, with two lake-like swimming pools snaking through the grounds, flanked by palm trees and loungers. There’s an onsite aquapark with slides, chutes and multi-racers, plus a miniature version with spraying fountains and tipping buckets that smaller children will love. The spa slows things down a notch, with a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and treatment rooms.
