Much-loved holiday resort two hours from the UK has Bali-style water park that is ‘just as good as Disneyland’

GOING on holiday with the kids doesn't have to just be soft play and swimming - especially with this French resort.

The Villages Nature Paris is "completely different" to other child-friendly hotels according to one travel mum who even compared the water park to being "in Bali".

The Villages Nature Paris, part of Center Parcs, is 35 minutes away from the French capital which can be reached from the UK in two hours.

Translated to 'nature village', the hotel is found in amongst a forest across 544-acres with lots of holiday apartments and cottages looking over the lake.

While it's family friendly and has the classic kids club, one traveller has insisted Villages Nature Paris is like nothing she's ever seen before.

Charlotte Burgoyne who runs the littlevoyageurs account documented her stay calling it the "perfect stop" for anyone visiting France.

Charlotte said that while she's usually "pro boutique" and anti-family hotels, she "loved" it.

For the kids, the hotel offers activities like a trips around the farm, gaming, cinema and silent disco, and even glow in the dark climbing walls.

At an added cost, there's a safari around the nature reserve, pony rides and cooking classes.

For the adults, there's a spa, sauna, pedal boats and an introduction to wine tasting.

One of the most impressive parts of the hotel is the water park which looks like it's in the tropics thanks to the lagoon-style pool and lazy river.

In the centre is the 'Water Tree', a platform with slides, a flume, and a bucket that pours 900 litres of water onto the swimmers.

One guest on TripAdvisor went as far to say they "preferred it to Disneyland".

The hotel is in the perfect location for anyone wanting to pop over to Disneyland Paris as it's a ten minutes drive away and costs €2.50 (£2.11) on the bus.

Every type of apartment or cottage comes with a kitchen as it's all self-catering.

If you'd rather not cook while on holiday, there are seven bars and restaurants there too including a classic French crêperie.

Rooms start at €160 (£135.26) per night for the premium apartment which sleeps two.

If you fancy having a go at the activities without staying at the hotel, then they also offer a day ticket from €38 (£32.18).

The day ticket price includes access to the water park, farm, playgrounds and forest.
