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.

Had an amazing experience at Hard Rock Cafe! The ambiance is vibrant and full of energy, with fantastic music and iconic memorabilia creating a truly unique atmosphere. The food was delicious, especially the burgers and starters – fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout. Service was quick, and the overall vibe made it a memorable visit. Highly recommended for great food, music, and a fun dining experience! 🎸🍔
