HI. Just doing some research on this resort. Does anyone know if is a child friendly resort ? We have a three year old that we would like to bring to an all inclusive. Wondering if there is a kids pool/section for her to play in. So far A.B.R looks like a sure thing, just wondering about this resort. Thank you :)

GORM is not the best place for Kids. There is no real kids club. If all your child wants to do is to dig in the sand and paddle in the water it would be good. Due to the reef of shore the beach is very calm.

There are a few pools that are not very deep therefore great for kids, when we were there in Dec they were very cold (someone said it has to do with the anount of sunlight at that time)

I think the lack of organized activities is what made it great for me. I needed to just sit on the beach and relax. And not feel like I was missing out on things.

I am interested in hearing more about the resort.

Reviews have been brutal - did you notice different treatment by nationality? Were there ample palapas? Decent snorkelling from the beach..?

I went to this resort Jan 19-26 and LOVED it!!!!!!!! I would go again in a second. It was perfect for what I was looking for - peace - quiet - not alot of nightlife...

I dont think it woudl be a good resort for kids at all - there are no real programs targeted for children or teens. Also if you want nightlife and lots of activities it is the wrong place for you.

I know they said there to us if you are looking to be entertained you are at the wrong place!

It really depends what you are looking for as to the experience you will have.
