I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk to various attractions, which made our family trip enjoyable. However, the rooms were a bit dated and cleanliness was an issue, as we found some stains. While the entertainment options for kids were great, the pricing seemed excessively high for what was offered, especially food and drinks. Overall, it felt like it could use some updates and better management.

The rooms were a bit dated and didn't feel entirely clean. We faced the front with bins nearby that were emptied very early. The fridge situation was frustrating because one froze everything even on a low setting, and the other one didn't work at all.

The staff were friendly and helpful but getting clean towels took longer than we expected. We also had to pre-book a parking spot, which can get tricky in the busy resort.

This resort is a haven for families, especially those with young kids. The variety of activities available for children is fantastic, ensuring they're entertained throughout the day. However, the rooms left much to be desired, feeling outdated and having issues with cleanliness and facilities. The dining options were quite basic as well, which was disappointing given the overall experience.

We enjoyed our stay at the resort overall, but there were definitely some ups and downs. The kids had a blast with the activities, and we loved the atmosphere. However, the dining options became a bit repetitive, and our room had some cleanliness issues. It’s a good spot for families, but improvements are needed in some areas.

Our family had a mix of experiences at this hotel. While the kids loved the water park and the friendly staff, the loud atmosphere and limited adult facilities made it challenging for us parents. The dining options were overpriced and not very appealing, and we faced some issues with our room key. Overall, it's a solid choice for families with younger kids but might not be the best fit for those looking for a more relaxed stay.

We had a mixed experience at the hotel. The location is great for families with kids, and our room had the basic amenities we needed, making it easier for us with our little ones. However, the cleanliness of the room left a lot to be desired, and the facilities seemed a bit outdated. Overall, it was decent value for the promotional price we paid, but I expected a bit more in terms of upkeep.

Rooms

The room was comfortable, equipped with a microwave, toaster, and kettle, which was handy for our kids. However, it felt more like a cheap motel than a resort, with old furniture and limited towels.
