Absurd Parking Fee

Our stay was wonderful, the biggest downfall was having to pay extra for parking. That seems quite absurd with the cost of everything else.

Our first time visit was very fun and relaxing. The kids enjoyed the water park and the outside pool. Prices for drinks and other activities where a little pricey.

Fun-filled, magical escape with the kids. This is way better than other water park hotels. It’s clean with spacious rooms. It’s not overly crowded. I highly recommend. Will go again for sure.
