Just returned from a week at Paradise Park and overall we were fairly impressed! The hotel itself is spotless and the housekeeping was superb with fresh towels for each guest every day. We stayed in a junior suite in the annexe area of the hotel which was away from the main hotel building and we cannot fault it at all. We had our 3 year old and 6 month old with us and we never had an issue with noise. The room was pretty much sound proof. The area was quite lively with lots of bars and restaurants a short walk from the hotel along with a big supermarket for any essentials. We had the half board package and after paying a fair bit for a beer, Sprite and bottle of water on our first night at tea, we opted to choose the drinks package offered to half board guests which allows 2 drinks per person for €3.90pp/ per day. I wouldn’t bother with this service as instead of getting the decent drinks from bottles that you get if you pay, you’re just given a small glass and the drinks from the vender that the AI guests use. Not value for money at all. The food overall was decent with mostly something for everyone. A different choice of meat or fish cooked fresh on certain days for tea with a lovely salad bar with cold meats, and there was always pizza and pasta options. The puddings weren’t great but there was usually a chocolate fountain with profiteroles if you’ve got a sweet tooth. Breakfast was our favourite, with a decent variety. Your standard fry up bits as well as cereals, pastries, yogurt, fruit with an omelette station too. We only used the smaller pool at the hotel as the bigger pool was away from the main hotel area which was slightly odd. The pool area was clean and had plenty of sun loungers available. No morning rush to reserve beds which is always nice. Plenty of entertainment around the pool to keep the kids (and some adults) entertained. The hotel is roughly 1 mile away from the beach and they provide a minibus service every half an hour which takes about 5 minutes. The area where the hotel is situated is quite hilly. It’s all downhill to the beach and takes around 20 minutes to walk. The walk back is quite the workout but it’s doable if you’re up to it, but you may want to opt for the bus back if you’ve got smaller children or older members of the family. The bus does get busy though so you may be waiting up to an hour if you don’t get on first time. We would have preferred better access to the hotel grounds with gates you could use with your key card. There was one at the rear of the hotel near our room but was only available 9-5 Mon-Fri, otherwise you had to walk up the hill to main reception (floor 2) to get the lift or stairs down to our room or the pool (floor 0). We very much enjoyed our stay and we would happily return to Paradise Park Hotel in the future!
