While Neal, from Darlington, said: "We've just returned from a week at the Bahia Principe Fantasia in Tenerife as a family of two adults and two children, aged 7 and 5. This has been a brilliant family holiday, the hotel has some amazing features, is of a very high quality and runs to very high standards.

"The pretend Disney Princess Castle is obviously a big feature of this resort. Before I went, I thought this was a bit cheesy but it’s actually really impressive, the building itself is huge and is some achievement. There is a daytime bar in there which we used frequently. The evening light show on the castle with the music is very impressive, plus it’s used here and there for evening events, such as the mini disco and some other kids shows. "
