Good fun - My husband and I went here while on holiday in October 2025 it was good we really enjoyed the show , it was very crowded and hot when we arrived via transfers from our hotel, when we were ,and was a bit chaotic, when we were showed through to the main areana we were seated at a table with 2 other couples , dinner was soup , chicken then cheese cake there was supposed to be drink included, but we didn't get any i feel its because of the way the table was set up , a bottle of soda and a bottle of water where sat in the middle and 1 bottle of red and 1 white wine was sat at either end of the table , all drinks on the table were supposed to be shared by the whole table i later found out , but the couples that were sat at the end the wine was just assumed it was for them and kept a bottle each to themselves, I think tables need to be set up better so its clear all drinks on the table are to be shared and not solely for each couple , other than this it was an enjoyable evening.

Entertainment is amazing - 5* for entertainment. The cast are amazing, engaging and amusing (if a little rude!!! Lol), but the organisation before he show leaves a LOT to be desired!! But, get through that bit and you will have an amazing night! Shouted, cheered, boo-ed and smiled all show. And what I really loved was that they bought some of the waiting staff on at the end for applause, all the support to the main cast, and everyone got thanked by each other! So nice to see.

Great night out but be aware no info where to go/be so keep your wits about you for movement etc - Fun night out the horses riders were amazing and so skilled worth a visit - felt it was quite confusing around where we had to be at what times as we sat by the bar and then noticed people moving to another area to find out that was the entrance to the seating part of the show but no signs no information any where 🙈 and no signs at the start to k ow where to wait.

Great night, lots of fun for families! - This was a return visit for us, it was just as good as the time before. The bus picked us up close to the hotel. On arrival there are photos with the king & queen, a chance to have drink etc. everyone is given a section to sit in (the colour is the knight you cheer for). There was jousting, play fights as well as horse shows. Dinner was basic but good (soup, chicken & potatoes & ice cream).

Fine. - The show was long. In itself that is nice, maqr at one point ‘did you even see it’ so to speak. The food was fine, nothing special. The actors were well in their roles! They did a great job with the kids. Although I wouldn't call it a child-friendly show (middle fingers, fake throat cutting etc: like the old times shall we say). However, I really doubt the horses. There were a number of horses visibly upset. They also had to perform for a really long time without a breather. Of course, I don't know how they're treated behind the scenes (for better or worse), but I got one nasty feeling. The castle was very nice and the transport (bus) to it was also well arranged.

Always same team who win - yellow team wins each time - Every time that we have visited and paid for this experience from playa Americas resort we have always ended up on black knights team and every time it is same story line where the yellow knights always end up winning. Whether it is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday showing it is always the yellow team that wins. It is not what they say where the team who shouts the loudest wins. I feel that my fiancée and I have wasted about £130 in an experience.

Very distressed horses. Please don’t book. - Unfortunately not a very nice experience when it comes to animal welfare so please don’t believe the status it has that says it meets animal welfare standards. Horses clearly showing distress and resistance through out the show. If you know horses you know constant bit bitting, head turning at high angles to avoid bit pressure, tail swishing, ears back is not normal. Reluctant movements show all the time. Not sure what horse bits they are using but one poor horse had a full open mouth the whole time. The environment they perform in is so loud and dark. I had to leave 20mins in to performance as I felt so upset. Please don’t pay to watch such shows. I should have done my research before booking which I really regret! These people should not be allowed to treat the horses in this way. Even the horses stood as guard horses as you arrive was covered in scars on nose and legs. No wonder they don’t want any filming of the show !
