"Great place, we absolutely loved it, rooms were amazing. Breakfast was good but not loads of choice, it’s a little out of the way but this didn’t affect us as we had a car and the grounds made up for it. We saw sloths over the car park near the reception. "

8/10 Good
"The day passes make the pool area more packed than we would have liked. My kids loved the water slides but the constant deep bass music from the bar was a bit much for us. Staff were friendly and our room was nice and big."
