It was okay. Not super luxurious. House keeping is limited and with kids it’s a bit challenging. We had a couple of issues during our stay but the manager did rectify it. I don’t think it was the most luxurious or the best place but it certainly was helpful to have large sleeping arrangements with multiple kids. I’d rate this a 6.5 or 7/10

The property has definitely aged and could use some updates—it likely was quite nice at one point. The elevator was out of service during our stay, which made being on the third floor a bit inconvenient. The pool loungers were a nice touch, and the room itself was decent—simple but clean. One thing to note: the listing mentions a shuttle to Legoland, but that service is no longer offered. On the plus side, guest parking is free, which was appreciated.

Elevators were broken which made our stay exceptionally hard with my mother who's handicap. We were told by staff upon arrival at least it's the 2nd floor and not the 3rd! How does that help someone who's disabled? That's 2 flights of stairs we had to basically carry her up! We even paid more for an ADA room and this hotel is not convenient for anyone with disabilities. We even got a complaint from someone staying underneath us 5 minutes upon oir arrival that my kids were walking too loudly! Our trip was not pleasant from the minute we got there and we will no longer be staying here in the future.

We loved this resort! We chose it because we did LegoLand for my sons third birthday and it was a blast, the resort is a very short walk to the theme park, they had 2 pools, a hot tub, basketball court, arcade, and so much more!! The staff was super nice and accommodating, we asked for an early check in about a week before our stay, they told us they couldn’t promise anything but that whenever we arrived they would give us a key card to do whatever we wanted in the hotel! And it didn’t matter anyways because we arrived around 2:45pm and our room was ready! The elevator in the villa we were staying in was out of order, which was a pain since we were on the top floor and staying 5 nights so we had quite a bit of luggage but they did wave our resort fee due to the inconvenience so that was very nice. The only thing I would say would be my complaint is only having one smoking section, and it being completely on the other side of the resort from where we were staying, but other than that we had an amazing time and would definitely book again!
