Their free dinner and 3 alcohol beverages per adult per day was such an unexpectedly nice feature, and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. My toddler loved the pool and us adults enjoyed the hot tub. The room was very comfortable with a little fridge and microwave. Breakfast was better than most hotels too! Would 100% stay here again!"
