We had a great stay (4 nights). our room was spacious and clean. The pools and waterslides were amazing even with a number of people it wasnt crowded, even had a lifeguard watching everyone, great if you had children. Our stay included breakfast which was more than we expected a huge variety of food. Would recommend.
