Although our kids (all 12 and under) really enjoyed the waterpark, the chlorine levels in th3 pool area burned your eyes upon walking in. After one full day, two of our little swimmers suffered chlorine burns. The hotel was pleasant and clean, but not quiet. Which we plan for when visiting such a kid friendly place. It was only the chlorine levels that will keep us from visiting this location again.

Deliver what you promise.

I chose this hotel because of the Spa, which wasn't available... of course.
