The Villas Dunas Paradise is home to a zoo, which is free of charge for hotel guests: you have to admit there aren't many hotels that can boast such a luxury! The zoo is open from 10:00am to 6:00pm: you will see lamas, antelopes, reptiles (and notably an alligator show), falcons, birds of prey, and even an 8 metre-long python, amongst others. Numerous other leisure activities are at your disposal, including a mini-golf course, 3 tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, a football pitch, and a general sports ground: almost enough to host the Olympic Games! A powerhouse of 14 people organise entertainment galore, games, and sporting activities. Children will be delighted to get together at the mini-club, which is to be found in a really lovely and colourful amphitheatre. However, the area is quite steep in places, which, combined with the extensive size of the estate, makes it rather unsuitable for those with reduced mobility, even though there is a funny little train that links the various parts of the complex, such as the beach and the zoo. You can withdraw money from the ATM in the lobby. The beach is a fair distance away but a small train provides a free shuttle service. The Stella Dunas Jandia Resort is also part of the complex, but it is the less exclusive part of the resort. In the event of any health problems, medical attention is available 24 hours a day. After the evening entertainment, which takes place in a large, split-level room, revellers can dance the night away at the Mafasca disco. The entrance is free for hotel guests and it is located just a stone's throw from the bars, restaurants, and shopping centres of the seaside resort of Jandia.
Accommodation tip:
Families will be more comfortable in the chalets, which have 2 bedrooms and a lounge area, hospitality products in the bathroom, and even a microwave.
