Amazing place for children!! I have to say it’s expensive but they let you take your own food and drinks! Giselle the manager on duty was very helpful and understanding since we were driving for almost 25 hrs from Texas with 3 kiddos and a baby!

The best hotel I have stayed in by far. Worth every single penny the amount of activities they have for the kids included and everything you might need right in the property no need to even go anywhere else. I will definitely book with them again and again. In love with the hotel. Dunkin, restaurant, Ice cream shop, pizza shop, build a bear, rock climbing so much I can keep going. Don’t think about it twice just book.

Our room bands did not work to open door upon check-in. went back and was treated royally by Katie. Sofa bed in room was very uncomfortable. sheets were not left in room for sofa bed.
Resort was much cleaner than the last time we went there.😊
feel parking fee is not necessary, prices are expensive enough. seems a little over the top.
