All Inclusive at Caretta Paradise & Waterpark is built with families in mind. Five buffet restaurants rotate international favourites and Greek classics, many with show cooking, kids’ buffets and highchairs. The Main Restaurant and Bello Gusto cover breakfast, lunch and dinner, while Herbs, Burger House and Rice & Spice add extra variety at mealtimes.

Once per week, you can swap the buffet for a sit-down evening at the Greek Grill House à la carte (subject to availability and reservation).

Six bars keep you refreshed throughout the day: a terrace main bar, waterpark bar, kids’ pool bar, an entertainment-area bar and snack bars by the gardens and waterpark for easy poolside bites.

A smart-casual dress code may apply in some venues, and availability or opening times can vary seasonally. For a general guide to inclusions, see what All Inclusive typically includes.

Water babies are truly spoilt here. You’ll find five outdoor freshwater pools, including two dedicated children’s pools, plus a full-scale aqua park and a separate splash park.

The aqua park features slides, a half-pipe, multi-lane racer and an aqua bowl – great for older kids and teens, with lifeguards on duty and typical opening hours from 10:30–17:00 (age, height or weight restrictions may apply). Little ones get their own splash zone with tipping bucket, water guns, sprinklers, spouts and waterfalls in shallow water.

Around the pools you’ll have sunbeds, parasols and space to stretch out, and pool towels are available with a refundable deposit. The nearest golden-sand beach is around 400m away, ideal for sea swims and sandcastle sessions.

If you fancy a change from the slides, there’s an air-conditioned gym with cardio kit and free weights (minimum age 18; set opening times), plus basketball, football and table tennis for friendly family tournaments.

A small spa area offers massage and beauty treatments (local charges apply) – perfect while the kids are at the club. On-site you’ll also find a mini-market for holiday essentials and snacks.

Reception can help with currency exchange, luggage storage, bottle warmers or pushchair hire (supplements may apply), and there’s charging for mobility scooters if required. Overall, it’s a well-equipped base that keeps the practicalities simple so you can focus on family time.
