Our stay at the hotel was a pleasant experience with some great highlights but also a few disappointments. The waterpark provided a lot of fun for my family, and it was nice to have clean and spacious rooms. However, the breakfast left much to be desired, and the staff's demeanor could use some improvement. Overall, it’s a good place for families but could benefit from better service and dining options.

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel with my grandkids. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the pool area was in perfect shape for them to enjoy. The breakfast exceeded my expectations, though I did notice some lifeguards distracted on their phones. Overall, it was a great experience, but some noise in the lobby could be managed better.

We had a great time at the hotel, especially enjoying the water park with our kids. The facilities were neat and well-kept, and the room was spacious enough for our family. However, we were disappointed with the breakfast options and the service was not consistent during our stay. Overall, it’s a fun place for families but could improve on dining and attentive service.

Our family had a memorable stay at the hotel thanks to the fantastic water park that kept our little ones entertained. The staff was friendly and the rooms were clean and inviting. However, I can’t overlook the underwhelming breakfast options and some cleanliness issues we encountered in our room. While the fun amenities made our trip enjoyable, there is definitely some room for improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the water park was a huge hit with my family, the service could use major improvement. The cleanliness of the common areas was commendable, but the breakfast didn’t meet my expectations. Overall, it’s a decent option, but not without its flaws.
