We just arrived from our one-week holiday in Concorde. It was really great and this is my experience to share.
We travelled to relax after quite busy tax season at work with 1.5 year old baby-boy. My selection criteria for this resort were following: i) close to the airport because of tired baby, ii) baby-friendly resort with kids pool, playground, baby food, iii) large green areas for exercising and walking with sleeping baby in a stroller iiv) ultra all inclusive.
Concorde meets all the criteria
It took us just 20 minutes to get to the resort from the airport. Lara is a nice area with all 5-stars resorts. Concorde Resort is beautiful, smiling receptionist was professional and quick (even we arrived after midnight). Baby cot was prepared in the room. We had a see-view room on the 2nd floor. Room was standard, big enough, clean and air conditioned (worked quietly). There were available safe and a fridge (with daily refilled minibar). Food was excellent - so much, so good. Really, whatever we like was there. There are many a la carte restaurants available. There was a separate corner for kid’s food served for lunch and dinner. Kid’s high chairs, plates and plastic cutlery were common. Waiters were helpful, smiling, and nice to all babies. During one dinner we couldn't find a table, even all kitchen staff worked hard and waiters were busy to clean up. There is quite a big playground with 6 swings, 4 slides, 3 monkey bars, 1 duo see-saw, 1 other fun-bar, 2 baby outdoor houses, couple of picnic tables with benches, baby-tables with baby-chairs, really big sand-pit with a roof and tower with plastic balls. Playground is in one area with a kids pool (40 cm), kids club (more for older kids, but we played there as well) and kids toilets. Area is large enough. There is a soccer field where my husband practiced tai-chi every morning and park area and guest forest where I could walk with my sleeping baby in a stroller. Water Park has 2 slides for adults and 2 slides for kids. Good fun. Main pool was nice as well as area around. Gardens were well maintained. Pool/beach towels were available daily for a change. Animation was during all the day, but we did not participate on the evening and night program because of the baby. There are available also: water sports on the beach, tennis courts, and spa with the indoor pool, doctor, mini golf, car rental, and couple of shops. Because of ultra all inclusive, there were unlimited drinks, food, sweets, fruits, ice creams etc. during all day and night. Hotel has an environmental program that we appreciated (collection of lids, used batteries, separated waste).
The only bad experience was Wi-Fi. The hotel informs it's free, but connection is more than slow (sending emails took me 2 hours instead of normal 10 minutes). So if I needed to do something, I used internet in the Internet Room on the main floor. We couldn't work - that was good for us at the end :)
I'm curious person so I wanted to know how good surrounded resorts in comparison with Concorde are. I have visited Sherwood Resort, Royal Wings and Dolphin Diva. Royal Wings and Dolphin Diva are nice resorts and have Luna park in addition to Concorde. However, Concorde has most green areas among visited resorts. This is more important as Luna Park now when my baby is so small. Maybe in couple of years we will go to Royal Wings or to Doplhin Diva.
We enjoyed our stay in Concorde and - because I assured myself by visiting other resorts - we plan to return in September this year.
