Our family had a lovely time at the hotel with plenty of activities to keep the kids entertained. The staff were always upbeat and made everything run smoothly. However, we did find the noise levels from other guests, particularly on Friday night, to be quite disruptive, which affected our experience. Additionally, the rigid time slots for activities felt a bit too constraining, especially when traveling with young children.
