Reviews and Ratings
While this hotel has potential with its appealing amenities and fun atmosphere, my stay was marred by poor room conditions and disappointing service. The initial cleanliness and maintenance issues really overshadowed the positives, despite some areas like the dining options being enjoyable. Overall, it felt overpriced for the experience provided.
Our family felt right at home at this hotel, which offered a vibrant pool area that turned into a giant party every afternoon. The overall service was exceptional, but the pricing for dining left a bit to be desired, with breakfast costing more than expected. While the room was comfortable, we did find the bathrooms could use more space. Overall, we loved our stay and appreciated the various activities available, especially after long days at the parks.
