I had an overall pleasant time at the hotel, enjoying the spacious and well-decorated room, especially with the fun bunk beds for families. The water park was a hit with my kids, but be aware that the entry fees can add up if you're planning multiple visits. Dining options were affordable and tasty, which is a plus for families on a budget. However, the water park's open access to the public made it a bit crowded at times.

Our stay had some great highlights, especially the spacious and clean rooms that fit my family of five comfortably. The water park was fun, but it was crowded and not as well regulated as I had hoped. I was disappointed with the shuttle service; there seemed to be only one bus running, causing long waits. Overall, while there are some fun aspects, it comes with a few inconvenient drawbacks.
