This is an ideal family holiday for families with kids below 10 years or so. The facilities aren't luxury, nor are the rooms, but the fun and options for kids doesn’t end. The two waterparks are perfect to entertain the kids while parents enjoy a cold beverage and the family trivia and entertain is just what you need to end the day with a good laugh. So do yourself a favour and book your next holiday in family paradise.

This hotel is a good place to stay for the kids with all the activities and facilities for them to use. We stayed for 3 nights and it was fine, but by no means luxurious. The resort is in need of a major renovation, the age of it really shows. The rooms were basic, and clean. Food prices were quite high for what you got but could also just be what things cost now (e.g. $25 for a basic continental breakfast buffet with additional fees for hot food, could not take things from the buffet yourself, had to ask the staff behind the counter for each slice of bread - I get why they do it to prevent kids from touching all the food, but its also a bit annoying). Cocktails were around the $22 mark. While they have QR codes around the pool area to order, you have to get up to pick up food and drinks from the cafe (they send you a text message). All that said, the kids enjoyed themselves and thats who this resort caters to. However it's not particularly pram friendly without having to walk all around the place. I would say everything was okay, not bad but also not great.
