Great resort hotel that works well for families. Breakfast buffet is excellent - you could stay a week and have an entirely different delicious meal every morning. The two restaurants are great as well, makes lunch and dinner easy without going anywhere. Staff are always super helpful and friendly - I cannot state this enough. Rooms are clean, large and comfortable. It's also nice to walk into a fresh room with music playing - a cheerful welcome. Our family especially enjoys the pool, splash...
