TL;DR
Guest feedback suggests this is mainly a family hotel in June, with many families traveling with small children and teenagers. There is a kids’ club, but it is quite small, and the water slides are for children up to age 12; adults have separate activities, with the daily schedule sent via WhatsApp.
One guest reported that their kids aged 12, 13, 13, and 19 happily rode the water slides along with the parents (though the parent skipped some out of fear). This suggests the slides can appeal to teens too, not just kids under 12.
A guest noted they didn't see a dedicated teen club, but kids took part in archery and games at the hotel's main square — staff actively encouraged them to join, and it's where the kids made friends with peers.
The kids’ club operates only in two short sessions, from 10:00–12:30 and 15:30–17:00. There are no organized children’s activities between these hours or before the kids’ disco, so it is not a full-day childcare program.
A guest gave more detail on the mini club: it's a small windowless room open only until 17:30, geared mainly toward toddlers — an 8-year-old found it boring, with activities limited to beads and crafts. The playground also looks worn and outdated, and even a 4-year-old didn't want to play there.
Another guest noted that in many 5-star hotels animation also ends by 5–6pm, but the mini club setup typically includes swings, slides, trampolines, and play rooms.
According to the most recent feedback, the hotel in June is mostly family-oriented: many guests are adults around 35–45, with lots of families using strollers and quite a few traveling with teenagers. There do not seem to be many elderly guests.
Another recent comment confirms that the kids’ club is very small and may not feel like a full-scale mini club. If a large children’s activity area is important for your trip, that is worth considering in advance.
