In a clip which has racked up over 57,000 likes, she shared: 'Can you believe this family resort is only 2 hours away from the UK? 'It's not gonna break your bank if you decide to book. If you're looking for a cheap family holiday, then keep watching. 'There are two main swimming pools in this resort, and they are all catered around children.' She advised that you should stay in a private lodge - which comes in a range of one, two and three-bedroom options - and you also get access to the whole water park, which has a mixture of children and adult rides. Kirsty shared how you can also get up close and personal to some animals too. She added: 'Also, the opportunity to swim with sea lions — obviously at an extra charge. 'As well as that, you also get access to their own zoo. 'There are hundreds of animals here, and you can visit this as often as you like.' The resort is located in the Terra Natura animal park, which has a 'zooimmersion' concept, meaning you can interact with more than 1,000 animals, including tigers, rhinos, and elephants, without barriers blocking your view. This holiday park has Maldives-like overwater bungalows Another perk of the Magic Natura is that they have evening entertainment on every single night. Kirsty explained these include shows, karaoke, and quiz nights — and all of these 'get the children really, really involved.' There is also entertainment during the day, including foam parties, bingo, darts, mini disco, and even a circus show.
