As a family of 6 (two under 5 and two pre teens) this place was great. Unfortunately we were put in the Astro building which i believe was the only one that hasnt been refubished yet so our room was quite run down. The fact there was only air conditioning in the bedroom was frustrating as it was very hot in the other room with one fan beside rhe TV - maybe a celing fan would work better. The kitchenette was poorly set out with the only plug above the sink so was quite dangerous trying to use toaster and jug while having them balance on the side of the sink. There was no chopping board, dish cloth/scrubber and the bowls were very small. I wasn't aware you had to take your own pool towels but we managed to make do as the room was serviced daily with fresh towels which was nice. The staff were very friendly and super helpful.

We stayed in a Superior Room in the Captain’s Quarters, facing the quiet street out back, and it was perfect for us. The only thing that could be improved is having a fan in the bathroom, as it took quite a while for the steam to clear before you could use the mirror. There’s great family-oriented entertainment and plenty of activities for both kids and adults. The on-site convenience store was really handy. The pool and water park were both fantastic. The spa was always crowded with little kids, but that’s to be expected. The food was amazing and convenient, with a great selection. The staff were always friendly and accommodating too. We’ll definitely visit again in the future!
