Jayakarta and played with them in the pool it's just not as full on as Dynasty. We also spoke to other couples in the pool but it's just not a sit around the bar and chat type scenario which is probably more condusive to meeting people. Our kids always had someone to play with. Different ages to yours tho, 3 & 5.
We're staying at Patra end of March. Had heard it was quieter than some places but we probably don't mind that. Kids (and me!) will love to watch the planes taking off and landing.
Got me stuffed why hotels don't operate their pool bars/service. They would make plenty of money off them.
I'm sure you'll still have a good time at the Jayakarta. We liked it!
Good luck!
