The hotel has a lot of potential with its beautiful facilities and spacious rooms. However, there were some issues with service and the breakfast offering was quite limited. Overall, it's a nice place to stay but be prepared for some quirks, particularly with the dining and management during busy times.

The hotel offers a solid family-friendly experience, complete with a balcony in the rooms and decent amenities. The water park is a hit with kids, although I wouldn't label it a true water park since it's not huge. The staff were welcoming and the lobby had lovely decor, but the breakfast was pretty basic. Overall, it's a good choice for families looking for a fun getaway, but some areas could use improvement.

During our stay, I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and we had a lovely welcome from the staff. However, the overall experience was marred by the frustration over the water park amenities being closed and some service issues. The buffet breakfast was decent, but the noise level in the hallways made it hard to enjoy a good night's sleep.
