I'm a seasoned global traveller. Expedia messed up my private shuttles twice, I was travelling with young kids. I booked my own and I'm still waiting for a refund. I spent 4-hours on their chat and phone calls trying to resolve it, no solutions provided. I kept a copy of the chat also, for reference. The flight via Whizz appeared cheap, but isn't, they add £20-£25 to select a seat, normally I wouldn't care but I was travelling with kids, so needed to. Whizz also charged me £90 each way to check-in one bag, scandalous! - book a different flight company. I booked this particular hotel for the kids as it showed lots of water parks, however they were all closed!! This should have been advised in advance. There are 3 or 4 hotels within the same complex and they don't actually tell you the hotel name until you've paid - the photos looked good, which is deliberate mis-selling! I stayed at the Polynesia hotel, and the hotel itself is fine, nice architecture within, however it's facilities were also very very poor. Only one restaurant open, and although I paid for half-board they charge you for your minerals, beers and wine - one should be free min. The one tiny paddling pool is surrounded by smokers, ditto the restaurant, this is not ideal for kids. No other pool for free. It has one indoor paid pool, its £15 for each adult, £12 for each kid, for one hour, its tiny! Food was average, lacked taste, boring, we ate out, much better food locally. You need a car, it's a long way out

We hebben een fantastische tijd gehad in deze accommodatie! Alles was perfect verzorgd: het verblijf was schoon, comfortabel en sfeervol ingericht. De omgeving was rustig genoeg om echt te ontspannen. Het personeel was vriendelijk en behulpzaam, en deed er alles aan om ons verblijf aangenaam te maken. Ook alle maaltijden waren heerlijk en vers. Alleen het ontbijt dat we kregen op de dag dat we vroeg moesten vertrekken vanwege het uitchecken, was helaas wat minder.

The restaurant staff, especially Alberto, were very good. They used to make veggie food twice a day for us. The only problem was that there was a very limited choice. T The restaurant opening times are late. You are not allowed free drinks in the sister hotels even though you have gone all inclusive. The reception staff were also very helpful. Evening entertainment also starts very late at 10pm. Due to this, the audiences were limited.

The staff were superb from reception to, the cleaning staff, to the activity team at pool side. Cannot fault them, fantastic all round. Hotel itself seemed I little run down. Quite a lot of things in disrepair or damaged. For example, the mini golf course is in desperate need of repair. There were cracked windows and boarded up windows. The kids play area outside the kids club was in bad repair. The biggest surprise for us was the amount of extra charges despite us being all inclusive. Most ice creams, drinks, snacks, towel hire, bowling and even two of the restaurants were not included in the "all" inclusive (staying at the Polynesian hotel). Not sure you can call it all inclusive if it's not all included. Overall we did however have a fantastic stay and a really relaxing holiday. Again the staff were superb and really engaged with us and our son. You should be proud of the staff you have there.

Si vous cherchez un endroit où partir en famille pour oublier vos contraintes du quotidien alors vous pouvez réserver les yeux fermés ! Il faut savoir qu’ « Holiday World Resort » est un groupement de plusieurs hôtels qui sont indépendants les uns des autres. Je regrette de ne pas avoir eu notion de cela étant donné que les horaires d’accès aux restaurants ne sont pas les mêmes en fonction des hôtels (des 18h30 chez certains, d’autres pas avant 19h ce qui est important pour les tout petits). Quand vous réservez sur Expedia vous ne pouvez pas choisir l’hôtel et la répartition se fait à votre arrivée. Les horaires des restaurants, shops, structures peuvent varier. Vous avez accès uniquement à l’ensemble des piscines, shop et salle de sport des différents hôtels. (Les salles de sports sont minimalistes.) Pour la restauration qui est vraiment très convenable avec des thématiques de plats différentes chaque jour, vous ne pouvez avoir accès qu’à ceux de votre hôtel (sinon vous devrez payer un supplément pour aller dans les autres structures). Cependant les structures sont toutes spacieuses, accueillantes et propres ! L’ensemble du personnel est adorable et serviable ! Les animateurs sont très enthousiastes et plein d’énergie pour le plus grand bonheur des petits et des grands ! Il existe des navettes gratuites disponibles toutes les 10min sur certains horaires qui passent devant les différents hôtels et permettent d’accéder au parc acquatiques qui est face a HWR.

Great stay, but wished we had stayed longer

We enjoyed the look and feel of the polynesia hotel, it was clean, comfortable and well staffed. The shuttle bus allowed us to get to other hotels in the resort (Village and Riwo) as well as the water park). We made use of the hotel pool most and also visited the local beaches which were only 5-10 min taxi drive away which was also a good change in scenery. The activities and entertainment on offer at the hotela were great for children and adults alike as was the variety of the inclusive buffet food on offer. We only stayed 5 days but wished we had stayed longer.

Vi är väldigt nöjda med detta boende. Vi hade all inclusive (perfekt när man reser med barn) och god mat från olika delar av världen serverades under veckans tema-kvällar. Detta hotellkomplex består av 3 hotell och vi bodde på det mindre av dem, Riwo - men med gemensam Beach club nere mot havet dit shuttle-bussen gick hela tiden. Antingen kunde man välja det lite lugnare poolområdet vid hotellet eller Beach club:en med fler pooler och vattenrutschbana, men med något stimmigare miljö. Städning av rummen varje dag kändes fräscht. Om vi ändå ska nämna en nackdel med hotellet så var det att solstolarna inte var fällbara, men en petitess i det stora hela.
