We loved our stay - the kitchen one bedroom was perfect for our family, it even had a washer/dryer! Our kids loved the pool and waterslide and there is even a golf cart which gets you around the very large property to all the buildings. Thanks to Tom the golf cart driver, and all the friendly front desk staff!

Went over Father’s Day weekend so it was naturally busy. Check in is 4pm but we were not able to check in till 530pm. Nothing was offered for the inconvience. I enquired about extending my stay but as the property is actually a timeshare the reception cannot help you with any bookings it’s all online. We stayed in the condo suite, room was nice, comfortable bed, it does get warm even with the air con on, there’s no ceiling fans in the room. would have been nice if there were some waters left in the room but there isn’t. There are no elevators so you have to carry everything up two flights of stairs. We used the private entrance to Legoland which was convienent. It takes you closer to the back of the park. However when entering I was asked for the private entrance pass from the hotel which was never given to me? The staff were nice enough to let it slide. Overall the stay was decent, if you don’t need the private entrance you could prob find somewhere much cheaper, the Legoland parking doesn’t really make a difference as the hotel charges $35 a night to park anyway.

Beautiful area and close to legoland, but our air condition didn’t work properly, we even had maintenance to our room 3 times and it was never fixed properly. So it we tossed and turn all night due to the temperature.

Great work on cleaniless

It was great with the service and accommodations. Only issues were cleanliness. My sisters stayed in one room and me in another. Their bathroom smelled like pee and had pee stains around the toilet. Our sofa bed looked like they didnt even check it was used. The sheet was all crumbled up and there was hair on it.
