I LOVED this hotel. Such a fun vibe. Staff were polite, it was family friendly (even tho I was travelling as a couple), they had pool that were well lit and everyone was enjoying into the evening, heaps of places to relax on the property, activities, they even had baskets of Easter eggs for Easter weekend. It was so fun! Highly recommend this place for family friendly fun and relaxed vibes. I will 100% be back here!
