Greece is one of Europe’s most popular tourist destinations, and it is not hard to see why. Visitors are understandably drawn to the country's beautiful beaches, reliable sunny weather, its historical sites and natural rugged beauty. But there is more to Greece – it is well favoured with watersports enthusiasts who enjoy superb conditions for some fine windsurfing and outstanding sailing.

We stayed here for the last week of the season, having travelled with Mark Warner many many times before. The accomodation is good, but not 5*. The food was a big disappointment as they would often run out of basic items. The food was no better than any of their other resorts, and we have nether encountered them running out of many items of food. On the whole it was a pleasant stay only spoilt by the food issues, which hopefully will be sorted for 2013. As is usual to Mark Warner they NEVER RESPOND TO THE CUSTOMER SURVEYS OR COMMENTS, and would do well to acknowledge the comments of their customers.

This was my 1st holiday with MW. We booked this 2 weeks before we went. We wanted somewhere hot and relaxing with watersports. This resort ticked all the boxes and more. The MW staff at Kos airport, through to those in the resort and the watersports team were brilliant, customer service at its best, nothing was too much trouble, they were helpful, explained things fully and offered assistance as required. We had a room in the main hotel which was lovely and cleaned throughly every day, it overlooked the pretty gardens at the front of the property. We were on FB and the choice and quailty of food was excellent at all mealtimes. Our flights were with WOW, and were very good, the only point to be aware off is that the onboard service is expensive, but the flight attendants are very cheerful and helpful. We would/will come here again but not in peak season as we have no children. We will also recommend to family and friends. A great holiday that meet all our expectations and more. Well done MW staff.

Initial impression of the hotel architecture/complex is long, thin and rather "stark" - But this feeling soon fades when you walk down the beautiful long pool running through the centre to the sea. Also given that its only a few months old and shrubs dont grow that fast in such a hot summer & with the gardeners now very busy replanting everywhere - it will be brilliant by May. The rooms are superb & quiet with almost silent aircon. Beach Towels are provided and regularly changed. Yes the Loo seats are a bit small but not a tradegy. The MW team led by the marvelous Sue are as ever top quality and fun. The Local Staff are brilliant - helpful happy and attentive. Esp Nancy at reception who has answers for everything. Yes the beach is stoney plus sand - the more they remove - the better it will become. They just keep working their way up like worms. They do need to install another shower for beach swimmers plus changing cabins to make it complete. Given that we have experienced 2/3* star MW in the past - this is absolutely 5* star - and a brilliant addition to the list. Rhodes/ Lindos are well worth the trips - we also hired a car to E35 for the day plus E20 fuel and went round the whole beautiful unspoilt southern end Great holiday - book book book

This was our first Mark Warner holiday and we were quite excited to be going on it. The BA flight was great, staff very helpful and the transfer from the airport to the resort was very well organised. The superior sea view room that we had booked was very spacious, clean and had fantastic views. Plenty of beach towels, bathrobes and normal towels were provided throughout our stay and the air conditioning worked well. The food wasn't too bad and the fresh fish was absolutely delicious. My son is normally a very fussy eater, but he loved the resort food for the entire stay. The local resort and MW staff are all extremely helpful, polite and cheerful. Every one is very nice to the kids and extremely understanding. The child care facility is very well organised. It was a shame that our son just wouldn't settle into it. So we gave up sending him to the creche after trying for a couple of days. That said, there were a couple of issues that need to be resolved. The tiles all over the resort are extremely slippery, especially if even a little bit of water falls on them. My husband, son and I slipped in different places in the resort. My husband slipped while walking down the steps leading into the beach side pool. He was holding our 18 month old son at the time and thankfully managed to plonk him safely on the side. He bruised his shin very badly though and it's still sore. I slipped in the bathroom as the bath leaked a little in the main bathroom. My son slipped in the other bathroom as the shower cubicle doors didn't shut properly and the water leaked out. My son and I luckily escaped without any injuries. We didn't even venture into the main pool because of the earlier reviews stating that it was quite slippery. The beach is definitely not sandy and quite shingly. This was quite a disappointment for me as MW representative I spoke to on the phone while booking the holiday had said it was a sandy beach. Apart from these two issues, despite the fact that my husband fell ill a couple of days after arrival it was a very hassle free holiday as everything has been designed with families in mind. .

This was our second visit to lakitira and I think it was better this year. The first year we stayed in the suites and this year a fab house in the village,very handy for kids club. The kids club staff are the best!! We have 3 kids,8,6,3 years all did full day kids clubs and loved it. Our middle child has down syndrome and he has had a 1:1 with a MW person when ever he was in club. The same person every day for the 2 weeks even when he went to film nights every night. I cannot fault them. Food excellent. Sports excellent from adult and child points of view. Would reccommend to anyone with kids!

Excellent holiday, exceeded our expectations (never been on a similar holiday before). Travelled with an 8 month old and 3 year old, very easy as everything there - highchairs, travel cots, early tea for them, pureed foods, kitchen with steriliser, microwaves and sink to wash bottles. We opted for afternoon childcare which meant we were able to relax for a few hours on the lovely beach. Evening childcare worked well too. Food plentiful and of very high standard. Staff (local and MW) were all very friendly. Will definitely return again.

We travelled as a family in August 2012 and had a great time. The resort is clean, spacious and very friendly. There were always sun beds, room to sit and relax. We stayed full board and there is a good selection of food at all meals. The pool restaurant does burgers and sandwiches if you want to self cater for lunch. The drinks bill was expensive as we are not big drinkers but there were a few cheeky cocktails on the tab. Our children only did a few activities but the clubs were brilliant and the staff fantastic. I was impressed with the teenager clubs especially. Beware the sea is choppy and deep and the beach is sand and pebbles. The flight was good and all food and drinks are included. Make sure you book a children's meal. Also take entertainment for the children as there is no tv, music or headphone facilities on the plane. I wish we had known this before the flight as we had to juggle one DVD player between two children sitting separately. The hotel advertises sky but the tv channels are limited to news/business so again if you want to use the room for out of sun time do download a few films. There is no DVD player in room although you could take a network cable to link up to the tv. We used the wifi in the lobby to download a few films. We had a beach view room and couldn't get wifi to work. One week is fine. However for two you should get a car as there isn't much close by. Also there is a neighbour twin hotel you can use the children's fun splash pool and no one used it which is such a shame as it was great as there was a slide and bucket splash zone. It's just by the pool restaurant. The Greek ruins are a fabulous extra! These are handy hints really as the holiday was great and I would recommend for a good relaxing family break.

Great resort, great staff, great sailing conditions (wind got up to 26 knots). Children (age 12 and 15) had a great time in the kids' clubs. Flight out with Air Berlin (186 seats) delayed by hour and a half, but plane was comfortable and flight was fine. Weren't told that we would get a sandwich snack on the plane and so could have avoided buying sandwiches at Gatwick. Flight back with Small Planet was initially at 21:15, which suited us, but a few days before travelling this was put forward to 00:00, and this did not suit us. Plane was then delayed by half hour and, for some reason, took half an hour longer than the outbound flight. Plane was smaller (156 seats). Seats were small and cramped, and headrests were too low to support head properly when trying to sleep. Not impressed by cabin staff, either. I would echo the views of others - great resort but spoilt by the flight back. Might look at other tour operators next year. Come on Mark Warner - sort out the flights!!

This was our first Mark Warner and it lived up to all my expectations. The flight times we booked were not great but with a week to go we were amended to Air Berlin - excellent flights and times were very good in both directions. I can't praise the hotel staff enough - both MW and local. The drinks bill for the week was not as scary as I thought it might be and snacks at lunchtime (if needed) were good quality and cheap. Large selection of food to choose from; breakfasts were the highlight with lovely fresh fruit as well as everything else you could think of. The fitness classes were fun; social tennis was well organised. The sun shone the whole time but there was plenty of shade. I hope to go back next year.

1st MW Holiday, and not the last I hope.....IF flight issue can be remedied?.......Apart from the change to flight schedule 3 days prior to return, and as other reviewers have commented on the "adhoc" flight arrangements - that was the only negative, but a big one at that. You don't need flying through the night when your original flight times were getting you home before 1am...as it was 7am home meant the whole family were exhausted from the journey home. To coin a phrase, "you get what you pay for"? But do you? You pay good money to enjoy your holiday with a company of Mark Warner's reputation, only to have it ruined by inevitable flight problems. It may only be a small piece of the jigsaw, but it can't be overlooked as it plays a significant part in what you recall of the holiday.... when you factor both inbound and outbound travel times amount to 9 hours in total, check in times (3 to 4 hours) + travelling to/from airport so it really does matter to have the start and end of your holiday go smoothly and to expectations, especially with children in tow. Inbound, you are only having to kill time at Kos airport for an hour, once checked in but should it be delayed - it would be carnage. Our kids aged 4 & 11 loved it and by morning of day 3 were asking "when are we coming back here Dad"...no pressure then. We would look at other destinations that leave Heathrow for sure. Resort is fabulous, never left it to go into Town, as there was no need, food was excellent with very wide choice - exceeded expectations of Buffet style dinner. Take more sun cream than you need as the resort shop is 24 Euro's (cheapest option) for a 300ml bottle of Kids Factor 50 Sunscreen. More than a little excessive? MW staff - all excellent. Hotel staff: Bar staff could do with a little staff training on making a G&T which doesn't contain flat Tonic, and in manners expected of front of house staff i.e. asking "can I help you" (followed by them continuing their staff chat for 5 minutes) before pouring the beer you are thirsty for. If the flight problems could be corrected and assured I would book again without hesitation, but as Mark Warner are sub contracting out flight operator I guess it will always be in the hands of the 3rd party/flight operator as to what transpires.

the flight and whole travel arrangements where amazing, with no problems at all. As soon as we arrived at the hotel our bags where in our AMAZING room which was very modern and clean. There where a few meetings about child care and (after meeting everyone) you make friends within the first day. The pools are fantastic, each with a different purpose, and there was always plenty of sun loungers for everyone. The food was really nice and there was always something different to eat everyday. The staff are friendly and always on hand. Indie club was fantastic for the teenagers and there was never a dull moment. The highlight of my trip was the volley ball at 3pm everyday, within a few days we had a team and it was VERY fun

We travelled to Levante Beach at the beginning of July and I have to say, it was one of the best holiday experiences we've had. We relaxed, made friends and generally enjoyed a perfect break. As a young couple without kids, me and my girlfriend were pleased to find that while the resort is family friendly, there was also plenty to keep us entertained. We enjoyed the water sports and yoga classes and we especially enjoyed the cocktails over (our delicious) dinner! The resort is quiet, but without being boring and is a perfect getaway. We would highly recommend the place and want to thank Sue, Gilly and the gang for making us feel so welcome. We will be back!

Mark Warner - Levante Beach, Rhodes, Greece June - July 2012 Perhaps it's a sign of the times. Having been previous Mark Warner guests (San Agostino, Paleros and Lakitira), we were used to distinctive red and white MW bag tags, tickets and lots of other MW paraphernalia. None on this occasion, except an e-ticket and letter of confirmation, which was completely perfect and no doubt reduced MW's overheads. This all worked efficiently too. Flight - This was a charter flight operated by BA, departing from the beautiful Terminal Five at Heathrow. The experience of departing on time was a new one (based on previously travelling with Excel, Viking, Tor and other Mark Warner flight operations during the past 5 years!). This BA flight was the perfect flight, really charming staff, great food and we arrived 30 minutes EARLY at Rhodes Airport. I have to say the BA cabin crew were just completely fabulous with kids and adults alike. MW have clearly listened to customers. Humans tend to remember the beginning and end of a holiday! Typically, our last (2011) experience of 8 hour delays (including a fire alarm evacuation!) at sunny London Gatwick no doubt has a potential huge impact on MW guests returning the following year. If MW listens, the BA charter concept is compelling and just brilliant. MW - Bring it in for all the resorts and your returning guests will increase, I promise! Transfer - Despite the early arrival at Phodes, Mark Warner staff were ready and waiting with four coaches for transfer to Levante Beach. Transfer time was about 25 minutes. Despite being located close to the airport, throughout the stay there was no sound of either light or commercial aircraft. Seat belts are fitted on the air conditioned coaches, I noted a few defective belts. We were allocated a small room on the floor above reception and in all honesty couldn't have asked for too much more, as we had only booked a standard room (2 adults, 1 child). The room had views at the rear of the hotel, overlooking the tennis courts and a small mountain, but facing away from the sea....we were quite disappointed. However, there are much worse rooms we spotted - on the ground floor, also at the back, but looking directly onto the wall of the tennis centre and next to a very noisy generator!!! Hopefully MW guests don't get landed with those....some of the rooms fall into the room numbers 1000's and 2000's. There didn't appear to be a dedicated MW Reception desk, as reception is shared by all the operators at Levante Beach. Departure information is positioned to the right of reception on the wall. The Greek reception staff are great English speakers and were always very helpful. The hotel operations and general running is overseen by a Greek chap who bears a huge similarity to Bernie Ecclestone! The MW resort manager is also always contactable. CAUTION RE THE MAIN POOL - As everyone does, within a few minutes of arrival, we went to explore the resort. Our daughter, put a foot in the beautiful, huge main pool's shallow end and instantly slipped, fully clothed into the pool! The MW resort manager, Sue, happened to watch this event. Sue is very congenial, helpful and delightful. She chatted for a while and we were informed that the resort was not at full capacity but was going very well, (based on feedback from other guests). Sue made an admission that the pool requires a repair due to slippy sides. The plan is to drain the pool in the winter, I just hope that no one becomes injured from a slip or slide into the pool. Upon examination the pool isn't suffering from algae etc - it's just some areas of slippery tiles.. For those with infants another word of caution - the pools have no fenced containment, so you need to keep a strict eye on non-swimming toddlers who may wander off - lots of ground floor rooms open directly out onto pools... This of course is different to Lakitira and San Agostino, where these areas are rigorously fenced and gated off. This is probably due to hotel policy, rather than MW. We have encountered management in previous MW stays, but Sue was just great when it came to dealing with people on an approachable and professional basis. We were very, very impressed, as she is clearly experienced at dealing with issues (and was good at remaining in touch throughout the entire stay). Sue also arranged for an alternative room. We were lucky, and probably only as there were still vacancies, to be given a new room (classed as a deluxe suite) near the centre of the resort, which was a huge improvement. It's difficult to know whether to choose ground floor and patio, or first floor and balcony. We had opted for the latter. Everything was brand new and In fact it was so new, that we were missing a handle on our interconnecting door, which really didn't matter. We had a stunning view of the adult pool, Crocodile Rock and an interrupted view of the sea. Be advised, there are however, a number of rooms in the 'nice' blocks beginning with no. 7 which face out onto the side exterior of the resort, with a potential view of a long wooden fence! Each room has a larger than iPad compatible size safety box which is electronic so no deposit is required, previously hotels have required deposits for a key at reception, so this cuts down on a bit of hassle.. We had two flat screen LCD televisions, of which Sky and BBC news updates and other English channels could be viewed. Wi-fi is not available in most rooms, however there are a number of wi-fi 'hotspots' around the resort which can be 'tapped' into, at no additional cost. We were also supplied with plush white dressing gowns. Shampoo, shower gel and body lotion was also provided - but bring conditioner! Work in progress - The resort is still undergoing work in some areas. Power cuts and the occasional lack of bath water are not a sign of Greek austerity measures! The bushes and grass turf have a bit of growing to do! There are no diggers, cranes or really anything which negatively affects the quality of customer satisfaction. Levante Beach is the most northerly of a current development of three hotels, which I believe are all operated by the same owner, Aqua Sol Hotel Group. As things stand, if the four pools at Levante Beach aren't enough, you are free to venture to the other hotels to use their pools. Our suspicion is that ongoing building work has come to a halt next door, until winter time, when it will restart without interfering with guests lifestyle. The pools - there are four outside pools, which include an adults only (over 18's) pool (for water polo and staff lifeguard training too), the main pool (slippery edges), a kiddies paddling pool and an 'infinity style' beach pool, with stunning views of the coast and surrounding mountains. This pool also has a beach style bar and has an area with sofas and chairs overlooking the beach on a wooden decking. One improvement would be to place 'tea lights' on each table, to improve the general ambience, when t

This is our 3rd Mark Warner holiday, now our favourite. Lovely good sized rooms. Great waterfront, however the beach and water is stoney, you will need beach shoes. The water is lovely and clear but gets deep very quickly - small children are probably better off at one of the lovely pools. Kids club great as usual , thanks to Ellie ! All the local staff were very friendly and helpful in the spa and restaurants etc. We will be returning.

This was our 3rd visit to Lakitira, and as always the hotel lived up to our expectations. The ground floor junior suites are perfect for young children as you get more inside space and there are grassed areas outside for the kids to have a good run around. The rooms are clean, comfortable and modern. The kids clubs both daytime and evening creche are fantastic. Great range of fitness activities. The beach staff were much more helpful this year, ensuring someone always got kit out for you, saving you to have to hoard it all across the very hot sand! Good choice of eating options although the food at the Taverna was very similar to the main restaurant but with a 12 euro supplement. Shame that Saturdays are the MW staffs day off..it meant that we had one full day of our holiday each week where we had no activities. The local town is a 10 minute (10euro) taxi ride away but is really not worth the effort. The only thing that always lets our holiday down is the appalling flight companies always used by MW. This year we had our flights changed by over 11 hours four days before departure and then a 12 hour delay when we got to Gatwick. During the 12 hours we were only given 1 meal and 1 drink. So perfect resort, awful awful flights.

We are just back from a week in lakitira. This was our second time to visit this resort. My only disappointments with the holiday were 1) the resort practically closes on the last day due to staff shortages! There is no childcare, no watersports activities, nothing is open! This was a six day holiday sold to us as a seven day holiday unfortunately. Secondly I was very disappointed with the childcare in minis this year. Last year it was surberb however I felt the girls this year there was a lack of energy and enthusiasm. There were a lot more tears from all the kids each morning. My daughter who is 4 was ok but her experience was nothing special this year.

This was our first Mark Warner holiday, and overall we were very happy and will book with them again next summer. Kids club for our 4 yr old was superb. Staff lovely. Great formula: early tea for the kids at 530 then evening film club at 730 followed by sleep till 11. Makes such a difference...allows you an adult evening and a chance to relax. We went for as much sport as possible: and were very happy with facilities and great coaches, notably Ben, George and the manager Josh at the tennis...a quiet week for them, but made us all welcome and enthused. Sailing is well-run and stocked with kit. Travel is painless - thanks to times of flights, it being BA, and short transit to hotel. Hotel is sparklingly new - no teething problems. Of course, it will become prettier once plants grow...but you know it will be a little sparse when booking...so don't complain. Food is 4-low-end-5-Star though - good variety, but should have more freshly cooked on grill - not sitting on trays all night. Needs a beach taverna...as the pool bar is fine, but is not on beach. Asian restaurant is a dead space by day and most nights - need to rethink that. Check the map of hotel, you'll see the shape is long and thin...so quite a walk from one end to other (especially with a heavy,sleeping toddler on your shoulder!). Rooms - avoid right-hand side of hotel, as the view is of half-built hotel next door, which is where they put us but we asked to change and they moved us down opposite pool bar - fantastic, uninterrupted sea view. Whereas in the hotel, and may other rooms, you might be closer to the dining room, but your view is of other buildings. Special thanks to Rhian, a lifeguard, who gave our daughter swimming lessons in her spare time.

Having been on MW holidays for years, I expected big things from this new resort. Unfortunately, it didn't live up to expectations! The rooms and facilities were amazing, however, the resort was missing the 'MW factor'. Normally there is a real buzz around the resort, I think this may have been lacking at Levante due to the fact that this huge resort was fairly empty. The wind conditions were fairly poor for intermediate to advanced sailors. Will probably head back to one of the 'classic' resorts (San Ag etc) in future.

As we were travelling to a Mark Warner resort as a young couple we had reservations beforehand due to the fact it is generally thought of as being a family orientated holiday company. However, we had an amazing time and even decided to extend for another week. Sue the manager was very acommodating and sorted everything out for us. The pool facilities were diverse and we made full use of the adult pool. The tennis was great and the tennis staff were very helpful and friendly. The food in the main restaurant was more varied than we first expected with plenty of choice and variety, however it became relatively boring after two weeks. We also ate at the Asian restaurant a couple of times which was a welcome change and the food was very good and well worth the extra money. Our room was clean and spacious and the bathroom very nice. The small town of Kolimbia is not far away and it has a few bars and shops which we took advantage of. Rhodes town is also well worth a visit along with Lindos if you have the time. Overall the holiday was brilliant with staff, accomodation and facilities to match and definitelty worth a visit as a young couple.

Levante beach resort is cracking it has something for everyone. Arrived at T5 early morning for a 0750 depart with BA. We boarded promptly but unfortunately there was a tech problem with the plane which meant an aircraft change. Thank goodness it was not a tin pot charter company BA were great and we only got delayed by an hour and a half. Transfer quick and MW staff very efficient bags dropped in room. We had a suite as we had our little guy with us. Room was lovely cool good quality towels and bedding. Nice shampoo. Double sink, good powerful shower and standard bath. N.B. shower floor very slippery when wet (just be careful) Draw back throughout the whole place wrong sized loo seats. Rooms always serviced to a high standard. Beach towels provided. All pools are clean and just the baby pool and main pool have lifeguards. Pool closest to beach lacks enough sun beds. Pool bar staffed by both Greek and MW staff great atmosphere bar prices spot on with music that is not intrusive. Beach nice with plenty of beds. Caution sand is very hot so watch out if you take little ones and they start complaining could be the reason. Sailing kit - well it is brand new Windsurfing kit - great choice There is a BIG problem with the sailing area as it is just to small for the fast boats RS500 Cats and windsurfing. I believe that this is being addressed but be prepared if you are an experience sailor or windsurfer as this on a windy day is a real pain. When the wind blows offshore it is hard work getting back to the beach as the there is a very narrow channel between a swimming area and power boat lane coupled with gusting wind due to the wind shadow of buildings on the shore. Wind over my two weeks varied massively from nothing in week one to F5 for three days in week two. Watersports staff are great would however be nice if they interacted with the guests in the evening. But might be a MW thing. Main restaurant: Breakfast- Really good choice Nb outside cook station offers waffles and pancakes Lunch - slightly smaller selection then supper. Kids tea - Good selection with soft drinks Supper - Great choice NB different food outside then inside spit roasts roasted veal carved to order. Plus a variety of other things at the various cooking stations. Main pool bar/ lunchtime bite- Good pizza good burgers at a fair price Mini market- offers good selection of stuff and 6 pack of water €3.50 1.5L Kids club- Really good run well Kids evening / Video Club - This really is a great service offered by MW Spa - Very good try the express service reasonable price NB need to pay cash or card can't charge room. lobby Bar - slow and not very personable. Wifi. Really really poor - iPads and iPhones don't work very well due bandwidth but a laptop or mac book works well. If you want to work that is Mountain biking - good bikes and good guide but take water. All in all great resort great team would I go again Yes please. Finally check in at Rhodes airport is a pain in the a#%# Happy days enjoy if you are going

Stayed at Helona Hotel which was truely excellent including the main restaurant buffet food. A few useful facts :- 1) Dress code requires long trousers in evening albeit that scruffy jeans appeard to be acceptable! (Only took shorts which they had no option but to accept.) 2) Watersports only available for six days out of seven due to staff shortage and this was despite being assured by Mark Warner before booking that this historic issue had been resolved. 3) Return flight is very late and Strategic Air flights are likely to be delayed (borrowed planes used for both outbound and return flights). Plus Kos airport cannot cope with delays. Nevertheless an excellent holiday so thank you Mark Warner, and would definitely go back.

Just returned from a great week at Levante with our 1 and 3 year old. The pictures really do it justice. It was serene and spotless. Our first trip with MW so we were curious. The sports facilities are fantastic. We tried mountain biking and water sports which were all delivered with both enthusiasm and knowledge. I scored the food averagely. There is alot of it, it is cooked well and the kids tea is perfect. I think we would have preferred less dishes, cooked impeccably. My only gripe/tip would be about the loungers at the beach pool. People get there pre breakfast to do the towel on a lounger thing. Which means if you don't get there pre 9.30 you don't stand a chance of getting one. We were fine because our kids were in the 9am club so we made it down there in time. We will definitely be trying another MW in the near future.

We had a lovely time on our one week holiday at Levante Beach. The watersports facilities are excellent; food is good (breakfast and dinner are buffet meals each day, plenty of healthy options but not much variety - mainly the same dishes repeated each night,but still good). We also appreciated the adults only pool which was lovely and quiet.

Everything about this holiday was superb. From the BA flightcrew to the staff at MW in Levante. Top class hotel facilities, wonderful shore gang for the sailing - added to some good winds for the vaious dinghies. How do these guys keep their enthusiasm? Thanks MW, look forward to seeing you later in the year.

My first time with Mark Warner for a long time and I was totally impressed with Levante in its first week of opening - it was not without its teething problems understandably but the staff and especially the resort manager were all trying their very best to ensure guests had great time and I believe they succeeded. The rooms are spacious and clean and the bedding soft! Water sports kit is all brand new and the pools well spaced out. Food was varied and tastey. I'd definitely go back and have already recommended friends. Enjoy if you go!

I visited Levante Beach with a friend on its opening week. I was impressed with the new hotel and facilities it offered, considering it was its first week of operation all the staff and the manager were up to speed and only happy to help. I was very pleased to see that the waterfront was up and running with brand new kit. I was literally the first person to take out one of the Cats. Great selection of food throughout the day, we went for the full board option and were not disappointed. We were thrilled with our room, which was one of the sea facing suites overlooking the pool with a balcony and two bathrooms.

Our first holiday abroad with our oldest daughter we had a great time here in a refurbished room. The childcare was excellent and allowed us to have a really relaxing holiday. We loved it.
