Overall its a decent hotel As been said before the Academy is the least attractive accomodation in in the resort and the decor and lifts etc look a bit dated but the family bar is small which can provide a decent atmosphere. The pipes do groan a bit during in night which again has been said before but overall the... more

Just returned from a 3 night stay in the Academy hotel. On the plus side, the hotel was very clean and the staff (who were obviously migrant trainees on minimum wage) were very helpful when they were not at the end of their 18 hour shift.

No experience of queues, Food Court well run. Checked in for the Academy, and never having been to the resort before, thought that too much was assumed - e.g. where to go, vouchers for... more
