We had such a fantastic time at this hotel, especially with the amazing staff and exceptional food offerings. The kids loved the breakfast and the leisure facilities were enjoyable. However, there were a couple of drawbacks, such as the inconsistent room conditions and a pool area that could use better upkeep. Overall, it's a family-friendly spot, but a few areas need improvement.

However, the dining options were quite disappointing, especially the breakfast, which did not meet expectations. The service could be more efficient during busy times as well.

I had a lovely one-night stay at this hotel. The atmosphere was bustling with families, but the staff managed to make everything feel warm and welcoming. The dining experience was fantastic, with delicious meals and a variety of options to choose from. However, some amenities like handsoap in restrooms were lacking, and the room temperature was a consistent issue during my stay, which was disappointing considering everything else was enjoyable.

My family had a very mixed experience at this hotel. While the staff were genuinely helpful and did their best to make our stay enjoyable, the rooms and dining left a lot to be desired. The breakfast was often cold and the food quality at the restaurant just wasn't up to par. It's a shame because the family-friendly amenities and activities were great, but they were overshadowed by some significant issues during our visit.

While the leisure facilities had potential, they really needed better maintenance and attention to detail.
