So many children running about and crying- staff totally overwhelmed. everything had to be prebooked due to the numbers if families so did not feel like a holiday. Pool full of kids- I have older kids so understand kids are unpredictable but we were also on holiday and the numbers were just overwhelming. hotel felt like a giant uncleaned playground for toddlers. sorry but not a nice experience as s holiday…only if you have toddlers.

Beautiful hotel

We arrived very early so the room wasn't ready understandably, they took our number and phoned us as soon as it was, which was 2 hours before check in. Room was spacious, spotless and comfortable. The staff were polite, helpful and friendly. The food was delicious and hot

The hotel is located in a great area and was very comfortable to stay in. You could tell the staff was overworked as the majority of them were short and not super friendly. The perfume/cologne smell in the lobby is incredibly overwhelming and had several guests commenting on it near us.

Great trip but lots of maintenance work in progres

We had a great family holiday at the hotel. Only downside was the maintenance works going on throughout the external area from car park building, painting external walls and Jurassic park was brilliant but also very much under construction. Feel some gesture or acknowledgement from management of the disruption would have been nice.

If you're a couple having a relaxing weekend away I wouldn't book this hotel. If you're a family with kids it would be a great hotel to stay in. Booked for a couples weekend since I saw it was 4 star and had a spa so it ended up not being a very relaxing hotel experience but it was fine since we were out most of the time.

Not bad but not great

Nice hotel, excellent staff very helpful and friendly, food was nice, but very dirty carpets and windows, lose fixtures in the bathroom, and only a waterfall shower head no smaller shower head for rinsing, feel like the attention to detail was missing, also as a couple we were put in the wing with all family room s which wasnt ideal, our room had 3 beds which restricted the size of the room, and located with just families didnt make it a relaxing break with children screaming in the halls at 8am
