Our son found this resort for a family holiday, celebrating our daughter-in-laws 40th birthday and our granddaughters 2nd birthday.

I have to say we really didn’t know what to expect and we were more than pleasantly surprised when we arrived around 8 pm local time, after a long journey from the United States via Amsterdam. We were ready to freshen up, enjoy a meal and a couple of cocktails. A pleasant surprise awaited our accommodation for the next 10 days a Junior Suite, an upgrade, so beautiful with a huge balcony, master bedroom, master bathroom with a walk in shower and soaker tub.

Eager to meet up with our family we ventured with the help of a resort map to find our way out onto a deck that led to a bar and an a la carte night restaurant named Akara.

It really wasn’t until the next day though that we could see more of the resort and we were not disappointed. This resort catered for couples, singles and families. Boasting bars, restaurants- buffet, lunch and night a la carte, relaxed and fun pools (I think I counted 5 different pools) each with a different theme, a gym, a kids club, playground and so much more.

The Resort had been beautifully designed with an African theme hidden amongst the Jungle foliage were hidden animals – Elephants, Hippos, Zebras, crocodiles.

And if that wasn’t enough, step outside the resort to find even more restaurants and bars overlooking the sea.

Highly recommended, http://lopesan.com
