Royal Son Bou Family Club

Never have I wrote a review but this hotel deserves one! we are just coming to the end of our 10 night stay and it has been amazing from start to finish, every member of staff are so friendly and happy! from reception, bar, restaurant and cleaners and the animation team are so brilliant with the children, there is so much for them to do at kikoland, we never left our two there but some children that were left you could see were being well looked after, cleaniness is 10/10 as is the food! Our room was cleaned every morning with fresh towels and beds made..not often I go to the same place twice but I think we will be returning here..thank you for a fab stay see you in September

Just back from this hotel. A great hotel for young kids around the age of 3-9. The pros: Very Clean Playpark in the resort (kikoland) Great kids pool Seperate pool for older kids and adults Plenty food choices but it's standard quality ( All inclusive) Plenty drinks options again standard quality ( unless you pay might be different) Kids lived on ice cream, icepops, slushies, chips, pizza, pasta Fresh meat and fish cooked infront of you every night on the grill Friendly staff throughout the hotel Apartment good size for 2 adults +2 kids Towels given to you for the pool Bottled water is free when all inclusive Doctor on site 24/7 Entertainment at night is good. Kids disco from 8pm to 8.40 then family entertainment from 9pm until 10.30 Small gym available You can sign your child into kikoland and get a staff member to watch them ( personally I didn't do it as I seen alot of upset smaller children, staff tried their best but language barriers and strange faces to young children is scary.. there really should be a minimum age for this, maybe age 5+) Close to the beach Small free excursions through kikoland on each day Zoo day is available but you must pay for this Cons: The resort is very small outside the hotel, there's very very little to do. There is around 13 bars and restaurants combined. I think it's mostly residents who go here. It's not lined on both sides on the street like other resorts in Spain.

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

The motto is "a children's paradise" and they really live up to it. The hotel itself is unbelievably clean, and the facilities are superb. The ban on smoking throughout also really makes a difference compared to other destinations we've been to. The pirate ship is an absolute hit with kids. We managed to spend an entire day just in this pool alone. I highly recommend the pony ride and trogo land to anyone with kids between 2-4 ours waved good bye to the troggs as we left. Finally, and probably most importantly, it's the effort that's put in by all the staff members that really makes this hotel stand out and why I think it garners the reviews it has. Thanks son bou, we miss you already.
