Yeah I went about 11 years ago when my children were younger so AI suited us then. I stayed at the Hotel Baia Lara. Did a few AI when the children were small and this was without doubt the best. Fantastic pools as well. Saying that looking down the strip of 5 star hotels im sure there are plenty that will suit just check out trip advisor. Im pretty sure the hotel I went to was quite new when I went as well so may have dated?
I went early August and it was seriously hot.
To be honest I liked the hotel but didnt like the Lara Beach area and its not somewhere id go back to. Things may have changed but there wasnt much outside the hotel when I was there. Perhaps its different now and someone who has been more recently will have a better idea.
