A balanced stay
clean pool good food big pool bad view second floor confused atmosphere
The pools are big and clean. They are well staffed, which I appreciate. My little one loved the two small slides. The food offered for a buffet was also good.
My room was spacious, BUT the view was not great. It was only on floor two. The TVs were on for sport and a piano player played. This made the atmosphere slightly confused.
