Room was good, plenty of space with separate kids sleeping area. Mattress made noises everytime I turned over, and not comfortable. By Booking through a third party, it was impossible to get a session in the pool. Kids were disapointed.

The splash pool was not in use and there was no indication as to why. Indoor pool was still quite cool. Room was nice - the treasure hunt for the kids was a lot of fun with gifts. It was also disappointing that only one restaurant was open and staff especially at reception/concierge had not informed us.
