The swimming pool was great for the kids, they provided kids life vests so they were safe. The entrance to the waterpark was convenient. The beach was close too, can either walk for 5mins or take the hotel buggy. Parking area was close to our room, we registered during check-in and so the entry through the gantry was seamless. However, there were locks for the toilet.
