My kids and I love staying here. They offer big rooms compared to a lot of hotels. The lazy river and the indoor/outdoor jacuzzi is nice and the kids have a blast on the slides. The restaurant is nice but usually a little slower service.

Be sure to call ahead of time if you're not staying at the hotel. To make sure that they are not passed their limits of how many people can be in the pool. When we when it was perfect timing the pool was amazing the water slides were great but the thing I enjoyed the most was the indoor outdoor hot tub.
