Resort was right beside the water park. There was also a free kids water park for younger kids within the resort. Enjoyed the playground next to the buffet restaurant. We had a good time with our little one during Christmas. Would stay again.

Obvious Efforts to provide good service. But hotel (building) looks and feel like a dorm. My room had a good view of the water park. Breakfast good spread, but nothing special. Instead of dining in, I dine out, better deal.

Hotel facilities were good. Due to the size of the hotel, some rooms were pretty far from the lobby, would require some time to walk. Loved that the in demand movies were quite updated and you can spend time in your room for a movie marathon. Breakfast selection was alright, also had a section for kids. Generally would return if on non peak periods.

Lights not working when checked in to the room. Called for help to repair it. Took awhile to come. Was using the tap water and suddenly the water dispensed out from the tap was super yellow and muddy. Super disgusting as I was washing up. Again called the front desk and they came to fix the filter in the tap. No apologies from the hotel. Almost like this wasn’t the first time such thing happened. For a reputable 5 star hotel, these encounters are terrible.

Excellent hotel located at a quiet place with water park view and it is just a stone throw away from the beautiful beach. Fantastic breakfast and great live band every night. Really enjoy the 2 night stay. Did not enter the water park but it seems quite exciting too.
