We were very happy with this hotel and they put us right beside the pool which the kids loved even more! We were able to borrow a set of kitchen equipment and used the cooktop to make food which was a nice option not usually available when staying in a hotel. I would also say that the breakfast was better than some, lots of options and they were very actively keeping it stocked and clean.
