| Kids & Family | Very strong for families thanks to Sirenis Aquagames, children’s pools, the SIRENIOS miniclub, mini-disco, shows, and babysitting available for an extra charge. | Family-friendly as well, but with a more upscale, balanced feel that can suit families, couples, and multi-generational groups. |
| Price & Value | Best value for families who will make heavy use of the included water park, kids’ facilities, casual dining variety, and daily all-inclusive activities. | Best value for travelers who are willing to pay more for a more polished all-inclusive atmosphere and a stronger luxury-resort feel. |
