Great for families
Families with young children appeared to be particularly well catered for here, with many commenting on the overall quality of the facilities at this resort. Parents were happy to find that their young ones were kept busy by this property's on-site children's play area, two water-slides and daily entertainment options. The family rooms here were good, with many noting that they provided adults with a modicum of privacy while still allowing space for little ones to play.
