This was our first visit to the Club Don Toni and we had 2 very good weeks there. We went with Thomson under the Superfamily brand as this best suited my families needs. Our part consisted of my kids (11 months and 4 years) and my wife and myself (29 and 32)

Hotel:

We stayed in the Club Don Toni which is where all the activities and entertainment is. It has a large pool in the centre which is very pleasant once you get used to the salty water. Our room was one of the standard size rooms which consisted of 2 single beds pushed together(??) and an L-shaped sofa which could be used as beds. We also had a cot which did make the room a bit more cramped but acceptable. The ensuite bathroom was good but the water was again salty and took some getting used to when using the shower. We had to use bottled water for brushing teeth etc. The rooms were cleaned daily and fresh towels placed. I was dissapointed with the cleaning as we had fresh sheets only once in two weks and the room was never really cleaned properly, no glasses were cleared for 6 days( I ended up with 7 glasses on the table at one point.) Our 11month old would crawl around and end up with dirty feet.

Food/Drinks:

We opted for the all inclusive upgrade. I would say that it is worthwile as we drunk alot of water and softdrinks during the daytime. Neither of us are heavy drinkers though and mostly drunk the locally produced drinks that it allows you. The food was very good overall. Breakfast included fruit, pastries, cereals and fried food. Lunch in the restaurant had a wide variety including salads,burgers,omelettes,pasta,chips and meats. Dinner was very similar really but with a slightly wider choice and specials like paella. In fact you could have burger and chips for all 3 meals !!

Entertainment/activities:

This was what really made the holiday for us. There are activities from 11am until about 5pm that includes football, volleyball, water polo, rifle shooting, archery, darts and what they call "cocktail games" which could be anything from musical chairs to giant jenga. Daily winners all get rewarded with a diploma which is awarded on stage at 9pm each night.
These are run by the Thompson team and the Fiesta Animation team. The resident Thompson entertainer is Carl who is absolutely superb. He works with the Fiesta team and is often in their nightly shows. The kids clubs are great and all the Kidzone reps were very good with the kids.
The nightly shows start at around 8pm with and hour of kids mini disco (split between Thompson and Fiesta) and then a pre show around 9:15. The main shows start at 10pm and have a 14 day cycle. These are run by the Fiesta team and included Lion King, We Will Rock You, Moulin Rouge and many more(most were mimed but the sets, dancing and costumes were great). These were very good when you think of what the guys put into them. Keep an eye out for Noel, a very funny and camp Belgian chap who resembles Mr Bean. Chippo (from Birmingham!) and Ruth run the team and were very professional.

Summary:

We would happily consider returning there again, mainly because of the staff and activities/entertainment. Thats about it aprt from a few points below:

The main things to look out for are:
1. Sunbeds are all gone by 9am so 8:30-8:45 is best to reserve.
2. Tables around the stage area all go by about 8-8:30 when the kids mini disco starts. I saw people in groups staggering their eating times so that some members could eat at 6:30 and reserve 2-3 tables.
3. The all inclusive option allows only a few items (plain burger, hotdog or a "sandwich") from the pool bar and also starts at 10am so if you want water for an early departing excursion get it the night before.
4. The walkways all over the complex are VERY VERY slippery when they are wet. Be very carefaul when near the pool or early in the morning when they get hosed clean.

I hope this helps people, Oh and one more thing....the aiplanes are nosiy but after a few days you hardly notice them.

What a fantastic holiday. Only just got home and wish i was back there enjoying everything the hotel had to offer. There was always a wide choice of food, great daytime and evening entertainment, all the staff were fantastic so massive thankyou for making our holiday what it was. Benny who kept a smile on my face, Carl, the energetic, funny brummie, and the crazy Noel. And all the rest of the team who clearly work so hard to keep guests happy and entertained.
With the location right on the beach, bars and shops on the doorstep and perfect weather i would definately consider going back to the Don Toni.

Just got back from a Thomson Superfamily holiday and want to go back again. After 2 "holidays from hell" we were due for a good one but ended up with a brilliant one instead. We stayed at the Fiesta Club Don Toni which is 10 mins from the airport (would recomend you take a taxi as the coach drops off at other hotels first). First impression of the reception and the room was very good. We had a twin room which sleeps 2-4 people and had 2 single beds and 2 sofa beds in an L-shape which the boys said were very comfy and there was also plenty of room. Lovely bathroom but get used to washing in salt water. Booked half-board but decided to upgrade to all-inclusive after speaking to some of the guests on arrival (it was well worth it - 378 Euros (

Wow - I am only 16 but have been on many holidays, most of which 4 or 5 star so was a bit apprehensive to going to a 3 star hotel.

However it was by far the best holiday I've ever been on...

The best bits - the reps (Kai, Kieren - so gorgeous! Chip, Christian, Benny and Noel were brilliant as well as everyone else) were so talented, and after a night on the booze, we agreed that (after sobering up)Chip should be on the West End or Broadway!

The weather was fantastic, everyone was fantastic.

The food was great and everything in close proximity was fab.

Another highlight - wandering out of the complex in the early hours of the morning (throughout the morning also) you could hear Space (nightclub)'s resident DJs playing chilling tunes in the background - was a brilliant experience.

But THE highlights of the week were definitely The Lion King and We Will Rock You performed by the Fiesta reps - when (on The Lion King, my fave film) they killed Mufasa (Kai) I was crying! It was excellent. Chip and Ruth have got to be the most talented people I have ever met in my life.

We've already booked for next year - same week and everything!

I'd recommend it to anybody, they should go as soon as they possibly can!

Hotel Don Toni was great, people staying in the hotel can also use the Don Toni club's facilities e.g. dining area, entertainment and pools.

We all really rated the entertainers who put on great performances for all the family in the evening and were helpful, approachable and got involved with children and ourselves.

The rooms are generally very nice with cleaners coming in every day. I would definately visit the hotel again as it was the best holiday ever!

7th stay at the Club Don Toni. It is absolutely BRILLIANT. Everything about the place is perfect for a fun family holiday where the kids are happy, and as we all know if the kids are happy then we are happy!!!!
Cannot fault this place at all, and will be looking forward to our 8th year next year.
Why chance going somewhere else when we all have so much fun at the Don Toni.

We travelled in June and came back July - just last week. We stayed in the Club Don Toni which I would recommend, rather than the hotel. All the facilities are within the club. I would just like to say a great big thank you to Chip (Fiesta Entertainer) and Carl (Thomson Entertainer). They both made our holiday a great one and it was nice to see the Fiesta and Thomson Staff working extremely well together.
The food in the restaurant was excellent. My husband is a fussy eater but he was delighted with the food choice on offer. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis and linen and towels were also changed daily. We booked a late check out room and they even put fresh towels in for our last evening shower. Very impressed. Will definitely be going back again and hope that Chip and Carl are still there next time. Well done lads !!
