Golden Avenida Family Suites

Amazing family friendly hotel. Spacious rooms with double bed and living area and a separate bedroom with two single beds. Spacious balcony with area to dry clothes. Bathroom has bath with shower head, toilet etc. kitchenette area with small fridge, microwave, kettle and some mugs and shelving. Lots of storage area for clothing and cases. Safe provided also. Plenty of sockets in our room and tv in both living area and bedroom. Staff are very friendly especially towards kids. My youngest enjoys speaking a little Spanish and they interacted with her brilliantly. Pool is cold but it’s just an adjustment we went to it daily and kids didn’t complain. Small pool with slides and jets turned on on alternate days. Larger pool with sloping ramp and not overly deep (I’m 5’5 and could walk in it no bother)… there is an “water bubble” for older kids to bounce on. Life guard always watching this area. Plenty of sun loungers. We never saved any but always got one or two together. Would say there are lots “reserved” and we’re not used for hours on end which is just same everywhere unfortunately. Large play park and football area outside. Inside has an arcade with a few games, soft play, kids club. The restaurant has plenty of choice. We were half board and ate out on alternative nights for variation. Breakfast lovely and calm from 8-9 then a bit crazy until service finishes. Luckily we have early risers. Complaint would be very slow toasters, always a que. The bar can be expensive for cocktails but local beer cheap enough, staff again very friendly. Entertainment every evening, quite late for little ones but usually face painting or balloon modeling followed by a mini disco. Will definitely go back and for a first time family holiday with young kids I have no real complaints.

We have just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel. It was great for families, with a lovely pool, lots of activities, a great apartment/bedroom and great food. My only two observations were that the outdoor pools were too cold and the entertainment in the bar started a bit too late in the evenings.

An honest review for people looking to stay here as I was also sceptical about other reviews. The rooms are noisy at night and often kept us awake until silly o’clock, mainly by other families letting their kids run up and down the corridor at 11+ o’clock screaming which is ridiculous. You did get the usual noise from the room above but nothing unbearable. Some kids were in the pool right outside our room until 11pm which again isn’t the hotels fault and parents should be more considerate. The meal choices were fab but I’m not a picky eater. Had some delicious variety. Sushi, fish, steak, curry & your usual pasta, pizza etc. our 2 year old wasn’t stuck for choice neither and loved it. I found that with our 2 year old the entertainment started far too late comparing to other holidays I’ve been to, the mini disco didn’t start til 8:45pm which meant our little one couldn’t enjoy it for very long or experience it fully, by the time they handed out certificates for the daytime activities it was well past 9pm. This being said I probably would stay here again. The food and drinks were spot on, definitely go all inclusive, the staff were extremely friendly and couldn’t do enough for you! I felt welcomed as a guest. The location is great for popping into the main strip and down to the beach which is lovely and clean. The recent renovation is lovely the hotel stands out to the others nearby and definitely looks the most modern. It was annoying finding people reserving sun beds in the best spots then going out all day to return at 4pm and not even use them. In the end I found myself going out on a morning reserving ours which i disagree with.
