Fabulous stay in Union Lido

We had a fantastic stay at Union Lido and, as a family, it’s difficult to fault the amount of facilities and activities available.. The pools, slides, beach, sports, kids’ activities and evening entertainment are all excellent, and there is a great atmosphere throughout the complex.
For families... with children, it really is a brilliant place. There is plenty to keep kids occupied throughout the day, and the range and standard of facilities are impressive considering the size of the site.
We also found all of the staff extremely helpful, friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Check-in and check-out were particularly fantastic. Everything was very smooth and efficient, and we were even driven to and from our accommodation, which was a really nice touch and made the arrival and departure completely hassle-free.
The Kids Club staff deserve a special mention. They were all very friendly, welcoming and great with the children. Our two younger children went to the Kids Club around three times during our stay and really enjoyed it. I think there could perhaps be a few more sports-based activities aimed at older children in the morning as they are more likely to want football, games and organised sports.
We were also really impressed with the **restaurants and food options** on site. We ate in and also got takeaways from Sapporo and Ca' Rustica, while **Al Mare was probably our favourite**. The food was consistently high quality and, considering the standard, we felt the prices represented good value. It was great to have so many different options without having to leave the complex.
The supermarkets were also very good, with plenty of choice for everything you need during your stay. There were also numerous places to get ice cream, which was a big hit with the kids!
One area I think Union Lido could really improve is the provision of a large Astro or proper open pitch/playing area where children can simply go and play football or other sports. Given the enormous size and busyness of the complex, it seems like there should be a dedicated space for this. The pitch used by the soccer school was in quite poor condition, wasn’t particularly central, and unfortunately was locked once the soccer school had finished. It would be great to have a good-quality, accessible pitch that children could use freely throughout the day.
Aside from those relatively minor points, we really enjoyed our stay. Union Lido offers an outstanding amount for families, and there is genuinely something for everyone. The facilities are excellent, it is very clean and well maintained site and the atmosphere is great and the kids had a brilliant time.
We are likely to return next summer and would have no hesitation recommending Union Lido to other families.
