We had a wonderful time at Woolacombe Bay! The location is stunning, with breathtaking views and plenty of family-friendly activities nearby. The accommodations were well-equipped and clean, though some aspects could use improvement. While we loved the swimming options, the on-site dining prices felt a bit high. Overall, it's a spot we'd love to revisit!

The cinema experience was not great; it lacked comfort as seating was cramped. I also felt the absence of a handheld shower in the bathroom was a drawback.

Our stay at Woolacombe Bay was a mixed bag. The views from the area are breathtaking, and the range of activities available kept us busy throughout the week. However, there were several issues that left us feeling disappointed, such as the cleanliness of the accommodation not meeting our expectations and some amenities not functioning as they should. Overall, it was a good experience, but with a few areas needing improvements.
