Lots of space in the room (we were in 6A) - only issue was it was a connected room and most people only stayed one night so were up super early crashing around in the morning(could easily hear talking and the tv through the wall). Shower was very weak, beds were fine though the single in the kids room was well past it. Kitchen amenities were good and clean. Parking was a little tight but doable. Good stay but very pricey for what it is.

The rooms were large and clean. It was good to be able to drive the van to the door of our accommodation as we were a group of seniors.
Had a nice dinner at the Hilton Bistro Lago restaurant which was next door.
Didn't have time to go to the pools.

Clean Cabin. Main bed was comfy but the bunk bed mattress was very thin. The pool and mineral spa area was amazing and just what we needed after a long day of driving. Staff were very friendly, especially the blonde lady this morning who gave me some great tips for places to see along our next days journey.
