We stayed at the Royal Son Bou family club from May 10th 2024 for 7 nights and it was fab. It was the first time taking our children (4 & 2) abroad and my dad came along with us (mum was supposed to but unfortunately died suddenly 9 weeks prior). We arrived at the hotel early afternoon on the Friday, checkout was smooth and our bags were taken to the room for us. They have little benches at the reception desk which the children can stand on to participate in check-in too which I thought was a great touch 👌 Then to the rooms, the decor is a little dated and it takes a while for the air con to be effective but the fan in the bedroom is good at keeping the room cool, especially if you keep the heavy curtains closed. There’s also a handy kitchenette, fridge, bins and crockery. The bathroom is a great size and the shower is powerful :) we didn’t spend much time in the room as there’s so much to do. Our room was at the bottom of the main ramp to the bar/restaurant/entertainment and was noisy at times, so if you have kids who sleep lightly then I’d recommend not being in A/B block. Especially as on the Friday they had a full brass band. They were kept clean by the lovely staff. There’s 2 great restaurants on site serving lots of different foods and has theme nights. The ‘kids’ theme night was a great hit with our 2 who gorged on hot dogs, burgers and used the chocolate fountain. My husband has several dietary requirements and he could always find something nice to eat. The breakfast has a vast choice from continental foods to pastries, cereal, fruit, full English, multiple juices and amazing coffee. The snack bar is a massive hit for those all-inclusive too and so handy next to the kids pool. There’s 2 pools on site, the kids pool is great, has shallow sloping sides and my 2 year old could stand up everywhere. You can see the kids from all the sun loungers so meant we could relax a little while they played. We only used the bigger pool once which was a lot colder but had a decent shallow bit for children. We went to the beach once, the access road from the hotel is super handy and it’s only a 5 minute walk which is pram friendly. Lovely sand and beautiful turquoise sea with a cafe close by. The kids club, Kikoland was great, there’s so much for the children to do, soft play, colouring, slides, swings, they have a dedicated baby/toddler room and the staff run different games/activities during the day which the kids loved. All the staff are so helpful and incredible with the kids. You can leave your children there, we chose not to but we could sit and watch them explore. They also run little excursions but we didn’t do these. The entertainment was great, the kids entertainment finished at 9ish so a little late for our youngest but our 4 year old had a ball and even entered the talent show! We didn’t use the shop on site, we used the larger supermarket across the road. The staff were incredible, the hotel is really well catered for the children
