It is a good options for families that will only sleep there and don't want to spend much money. The pool and spa are in good conditions and was the highlight for my kids. The staff at the front desk, fantastic. On the down side, the food is not great and the restaurant staff seems stretched. OK in general.

Kylie

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was average, nothing fancy but the bed was comfy. Pool even though not on the luxe side it was warm and the kids loved it. Breakfast was absolutely disgraceful, no cups available for juice, no forks and had to search for a plate as well. The food looked terrible so I didn't eat and my son only ate two things from the buffet. Definitely don't bother paying for breakfast, just go elsewhere. Otherwise simple stay and was only for a night.

Hotel rooms and all staff were excellent upon arrival and departure. Ambiance at bar and adjoining dining area very stisfying but a little more independent table subdued lighting needed to make menue easier to read. Subdued lighting and fireside atmosphere very appropriate and appreciated. In room tea making facilities and drinking glasses not easilly found.
