Theming
The Explorers Hotel is owned by Algonquin group who recently took over from Thomas Cook & refurbished the hotel to a very high standard in 2013. The hotel has a glorious pirate & Caribbean theme which is great fun for kids & adults alike. As the name suggests this hotel gives you an Explorers feel of sailing the high sees & having fun on the shores in your own personal mini-adventure.
Dining
The Explorers Hotel DLP has plenty of choices for refreshments & food. Breakfast is a continental buffet served in the Plantation Restaurant with high quality pastries, fresh fruit, meats, cheeses & hot or cold drinks aplenty. You can also have a dinner here serving international cuisine in the evenings. Perhaps you want a quick bite to eat? Look no further than Marco’s Pizza Parlour for that Italian authentic snack before bedtime. The kids love this place! The Captain’s Library serves very nice French cuisine & you have a large choice of alcoholic tipples including amazing cocktails in Trader’s Bar.
