2.00The village is just okay, the water activities are very fun for the children... However, the beach is dirty and the sea is too, with a lot of plastic waste... it's really a shame! A little cleanup of the waste would be welcome...
Great day out.

5.00You spend the entire day. We were there from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM. There are very comfortable sunbeds available. Wooden games. Small shows in English. The pools are small, but they are fine for the kids. In the bay, there are inflatable boats for jumping and diving, etc. We were there on Sunday, May 31st. Everything was very beautiful. On Viator, it says 4 to 5 hours, but one can stay the entire day.
Nice place, sensibly priced. A nice tribute to Robin Williams too.

5.00This place has a charm of its own. No special effects, not much razzle dazzle, but some creative touches and family fun. Get here for opening time to be greeted by the cast of actors who are friendly and get the kids in the mood. My children knew nothing of popeye at the start of the day and finished it fully converted and convinced spinach would cure all of life's ills. There are some fun puzzles and a couples of pools to cool down in. Food was decent in the restaurant though is pizza, burgers, and salads. Soft play costs extra and only open at weekends in May. The pricing is sensible and so long as you're not expecting a full on theme park you won't be disappointed. Half a day is about right unless you want to enjoy the beach and water sports areas. Easy to get to 101 bus from the ferry terminal.
Best day of the holiday!

5.00We had the best day here with the family! Loads to do, such a good atmosphere with the staff in characters and the shows they put on. Food was really good at the first bar, and interesting to walk round the film set. Great for adults and kids! We spent the whole day there! Excellent value for money! We visited on a Monday, so it wasn’t too busy.
Great movie making experience
