The rooms were beautifully maintained and cleaned we had a pool access room and the pool off our room was cleaned every morning. Our kids loved the water park in the middle of the pool areas and we spent many an hour playing in there. The buffet breakfast was huge and had many a selection for even the pickiest of eater cough cough my 2 year old. The hotel was also very accommodating when we asked for a late check out as our flight wasn't until 10pm they allowed us to have the room till 5 and with 2 little boys that came in very handy I must say. All in all we loved the place and will 100% be going back when we can
